Review of Captain America: Civil War (2016) by Guccimayne — 17 May 2016
This is a very mediocre movie. Definitely has good parts to it (Paul Rudd kills it btw) but I could have waited to catch this redbox. I felt like there weren't really any stakes or really a "Civil War" at all, until the last fight. Every time someone threw a punch, they stopped for a second to ask if they're still going to be BFFs later on.Then they resume punching. It really ruins any tension and I'm surprised they didn't learn after making Ultron comic relief in the midst of fighting.
Worst of all, the movie didn't add anything of substance. In fact, everything is back to normal at the end of the movie, but now there are more friends in the Avengers. I feel like they could have given this movie more of a reason to exist than to be *just* a setup for Black panther and Spiderman. In fact, it doesn't even follow the comic book so Captain America stays alive at the end which would have been a dope thing to see on film. As a fan of the first Avengers and Winter Soldier, this movie definitely could have been better.
