Review of Captain America: Civil War (2016) by Dan W — 24 Mar 2017
Fantastic action movie.
While it can't match its incredible predecessor The Winter Soldier it is nonetheless an extraordinary display in how to handle a huge cast of characters, multiple plot-lines and still make something that is exciting, funny, action packed, enjoyable, and even moving.
The movie really capitalizes on the shared Marvel Cinematic Universe and there's so much of the history from a huge number of their previous films that pays off here and enriches the experience..
My only real criticism is that the big superhero battle in the middle detracts from the tonal consistencly of the film as a whole and undermines the 70s thriller style they were continuing to go for in the same vein as The Winter Soldier.
That battle is everything you've ever wanted to see in terms of a full scale superhero smack down and it, like the movie as a whole, is a ton of fun.
