Review of Captain America: Civil War (2016) by Alcard9 — 05 May 2016

Except for the opening scene and the 40 minutes ranging from Spiderman recruitment to the end of Rissone in the airport, the film is shot with a field equal to that of a style TV series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. He does not have the breath of cinema. He does not have the eye of the cinema. It has not the time of cinema. And 'a film thought in 4: 3, with a depth of field and width of production from Netflix look.

Not that this is necessarily a bad thing (especially when an episode of a serial has never been so beautiful) but we are at the movies **** not in front of the TV. Pretty much the only good thing left of Age of Ultron was thrown away (where Whedon, despite his past as filmed cable, a bit of cinema has tried to do so).

The two storyline of the film, although intertwined very well unlike film as BvS, have succeeded in half: the Zemo plan is uncertain to say the least, the bad fact won the uselessness of the film award and all the events related to Bucky, in my opinion, too much attention away from the concept of "civil war" and, in the first part, I have also quite bored (and I was not the only room). The storyline on the Civil War, although very interesting and presented in an almost excellent, with all the motivation consistent for each character to be part of one side or another, is developed very little and absolutely so flat and not very brave. Do not you feel the climate of "civil war" (I do not speak of rissoni cartoon, but the background that reigns around crossover that gave a unique feel to the reader, plunging him also it into a civil war, where the enemy are not outsiders but people who until recently were brothers), the protagonists often get lost in idle chatter and exchange flips. It lacks the drama, lacking the excitement and miss the involvement of the viewer (that's why I say that is cool).

Then in truth there is the opening scene and especially those 40 minutes mentioned above that are a different story. All defects already explained that in my opinion are present in this film magically disappear, and the film becomes what it should be: an exciting, technically perfect and thrilling clash-encounter between supertizi. in short, a masterpiece (if you notice, also and above all from the point of view of directing the film changes a lot bringing us abruptly to the movies).

After the airport scene, the situation is as before but with very muted aforementioned defects (the direction changes again!).

The conclusion I consider it a less courageous film TWS and therefore do not live up to its predecessor.
