Review of Captain America: Civil War (2016) by B W — 28 Jan 2017

Excellent movie. Complex ideas were distilled into an understandable dialogue between the characters. All of the characters continued to develop and change as they faced the consequences of their actions.

Heroism, freedom, vengeance, and national security are all debated, but without being overbearing or pedantic. The action and special effects fit into the story and are a part of the conflict, rather than distracting from the plot.

Very good movie with comic book superheroes used as a vehicle for debating contemporary issues while being very entertaining and bringing the Captain America character to life on the big screen. Very well done movie and thoroughly enjoyable.
