Review of Captain America: Civil War (2016) by Oliver N — 04 Mar 2017

I myself am not a huge superhero (or indeed Marvel) fan, so when I heard of the new Captain America movie being released I didn't think twice about it. In fact, I've only seen the two Avengers films, plus Winter Soldier so am by no means interested (even though I can't deny those movies were good).

However, when I saw the phenomenal reviews, I was intrigued as to exactly what made this one so special over the others. I entered the theatre (which was packed) with moderate expectations... And they were simply put to shame by the quality of film that I witnessed. With superbly choreographed action sequences (most notably, the showdown between the Avengers and Ironman/Captain America fight), excellent script - that is more than can be said for many of this genre- and actually very mature themes, it is by far the best of the pack.

The cast was very well handled, considering how huge it was and each character got their say (no matter how briefly, in an exceptional Spider-Man's case). To be honest, there isn't much more to be said, except this qualifies as a certain recommendation to anybody: totally unmissable.

Verdict: A+.
