Review of Captain America: Civil War (2016) by Nsroehl — 06 Aug 2016

After reading so many positive reviews of this movie I was super excited to see it. After finally seeing it I was left with a feeling of "meh". The main premise for this movie is laughable.

Based on previous marvel movies, super heroes need to be monitored by the government / have some over sight because of three previous movies. These would be the Avengers, Avengers 2, and Winter Soldier.

Of these three, only Avengers 2 is their fault, and in the end they end up saving the day anyways. In the rest of these movies they saved countless lives but they are too blame??? Beyond the story being off putting for me, the action is top notch.

Everyone raves about the airport scene and it is really great. The thing that put that scene over the top for me was giant man. Spider man was good and I am looking forward to seeing his solo movie, but he could have been left out completely and the movie would have been exactly the same.

I do feel like much of the hype around this movie has soured me a bit sadly. I went in with such high expectations and now I have no interest in every re-watching this movie again. If you want to save your self 2 and 1/2 hours, go to youtube and watch all the fight scenes there.
