Review of Captain America: Civil War (2016) by Josh M — 06 Jan 2018

The final and definitely the best movie in the Captain America trilogy, Civil War is by far one of the biggest and probably the most serious of all the Marvel films. Of course there are still a few jokes tossed around here and there, but ya it's still pretty serious.

And as of right now, I suppose that I am not being as optimistic as I could be, probably because of how many times that I have seen the film. But in my honest opinion, it seems quite a bit like The Winter Soldier in it's own, mostly covered up ways.

Such as the fact that it seems to highlight the Bucky story a little too much for my liking. Along with the whole general set up of the story and the all too familiar pacing and timing of the action scenes.

Now don't get me wrong, I do love a couple of the action scenes, but if I'm being realistic, they just seem like they could be so much more surreal, instead of hardly more than just plain jane satisfying.

And last but not least I will address the antagonist of the film, named Zemo. Okay, so I must say that his motivations and villainous plan are terrific, partly because, in the end his plan actually succeeds.

But just being honest here, Zemo may very intereseting and original, ( due to the fact that he is nothing like his comic book counterpart of the same name), which unfortunately makes him feel ever so slightly watered down like the rest of the film.

So anyways, in the end I would assume that I more than likely did nothing other than dissect the worst parts of the movie. But hey, all I can tell you is that I am posting my opinion of the film, which is exactly what I should be doing.

So if you don't like my review, I could really care less.
