Review of Captain America: Civil War (2016) by Movie M — 16 Aug 2016

"Captain America: Civil War" is everything you want it to be, and much, much more. It doesn't even matter if you don't like Captain America that much, or don't know much about him, because there is so much more to this movie than that.

Pretty much all of the avengers (besides Hulk and Thor), are back in this movie, plus add in Spider-Man, Ant-Man, and Black Panther. The front half (about an hour or so) seems a little slow, because it's trying to introduce the many plots that this movie has, but it is completely made up for and worth the wait in the last hour and a half.

The battle scenes between these superheroes are incredible, the tension building between the Captain America side and the Iron Man side keeps the movie completely engaging, and makes you switch back and forth between the two sides, with so many key incidents happening throughout the movie.

The introduction of a new Spider-Man (Tom Holland) was excellent, as it brought back the way Spider-Man should be done; a teenager that, while still a superhero, is still starstruck when he sees the other heroes, and is still amazed by the things that he sees in the superhero world.

Top to bottom, this movie will get you thinking about it long after you've finished watching it, and has all the right pieces that it needed to live up to its hype. At the end of the day, "Captain America: Civil War", is a great movie, and no matter if you're a Captain America fan or not, is definitely worth the watch.
