Review of Captain America: Civil War (2016) by Desoul — 21 May 2016

Feels way too familiar. Enter a marvel movie, expect a marvel movie. Dont get me wrong, this movie is good, its just that the heroes still feel not as big (superheroes need to feel huge and powerful), the action was really good, but except for one scene, it was non threatening, cap and iron man both got the snot kicked out of them but without taking much damage, or rather, they looked like rag dolls taking hits. The villain was again not that threatening. A lot of cheesy one liners and in some instances a bit of bad dialogue.

Keeping all of that aside though, the movie was really good (I dont like the idea of a young spiderman, but it worked, and we didnt have to wait for the end credits to get a glimpse of him).

The story was well thought out, as with all cap america movies, the story is really good, some characters needed more depth (iron man especially, his reasoning was not explored much but atleast you understood why each person was doing what). This movie like all marvel movies is targeted towards a very very broad audience and manages to entertain the vast majority.
