Review of Captain America: Civil War (2016) by Inkblowout — 17 May 2016

The Russo brothers did a fine job directing this movie, the problems I had with it is that half the superheros (antman, spiderman are the main examples) felt filler more than anything during the movie and it really wouldn't have made a difference taking a few heroes out. But in terms the movie and plot. This movie had one of the best plots in the MCU... it's funny coming from a superhero movie. But I felt that the MCU's civil war was more about relationships with the heroes rather than the problems with the sokovia accords.

Which is why I thought Antman and Spiderman are filler, although they were the spotlight towards both sides of the heroes. The only real reason they were there is to show off Spiderman, Giant Man and crack a few jokes from Tom Holland and Paul Rudd. There was NO reason to be there... I personally like them in the movie, but they served no purpose... end of story.

I did like the relationships built towards superheros, examples are Vision/Wanda, Capt/Iron Man, and Capt/Bucky. For a 2 hour and a half movie, they did a good job focusing on each character... I just wish they did the same for Antman and Spiderman. And considering this was a Capt. America movie, The relationship between Capt/Bucky and Capt/Iron Man is going be much strong no doubt.

I really like this movie, but because it was 2 1/2 hours long...
