Review of Captain America: Civil War (2016) by Marcus A — 02 Feb 2017

Hi everyone! So let's jump into the review. This movie is fucking amazing! Captain America Civil War is what the perfect Captain America sequel and Avenger sequel! FINALLY AFTER 13 MOVIES we finally have a complex villain with a very interesting motivation. He wasn't weak in my opinion. Zemo was actually a strong villain because he had a reason to do what he did. Words cannot express how happy I am to see Marvel step it up with the villains!

Anyways this movie is amazing on all points. From a human perspective, a political perspective, and from a superhero perspective! I think the story was interesting how everything is surrounded by consequences, vengance, and the biggest theme...FRIENDSHIP! Literally if a building blows up the people are going to go ape shit on the Avengers!

This is by far the best performance from Robert Downey Jr. since Iron Man 1! There is one scene in the end where if you're in film class you can do an entire analysis on Tony Stark alone. This was the most interesting Tony Stark in a long time and his character was awesome! You will feel bad for Tony Stark in the movie.

This movie is honestly a character study for superheroes. There is another scene where the Avengers are discussing Superhero politics and you can study that too. You will sway toward Team Cap or Team Iron Man. This movie could've been where you only see Caps side and that's it, but instead you get everyones perspective from SPider-Man (we'll get to him in the spoiler review) to the star Captain America and it's glorious!

Now I usually never rate anything a 10/10 unless if I feel something or I am truly moved and this movie actually did it. This rating is by being an actual movie too, as a superhero movie 10/10 forsure, but as a film. This movie is both epic, emotional, dramatic and most of all brilliant, but the only 2 movies I've given 10/10 to is the Dark Knight and the Avengers (#1). Guess what? This will be on the pallet of the 3 superhero movies to make me do this, but I give Captain America a 10/10.

PS this movie is so good that Batman v Superman doesn't deserve to be compared to this movie.
