Captain America: Civil War - Review

Captain America: Civil War

Plot summary:

The Avengers – led by Captain America – continue to carry out their missions, now with their newest additions to team: Scarlet Witch and Vision. And in one of their missions, events don’t transpire the way they would want to, which leads to an international incident. Following this, the Secretary of State, Thaddeus Ross, approaches The Avengers, announcing that their too dangerous to operate on their own without any supervision. And as a solution for it, he presents the Sokovia Accords which gives the United Nations full power over The Avengers. The Accords draws a rift between The Avengers as they decide whether or not to sign it. This being based on two viewpoints – one, being that oversight is not an idea that is dismissible, and the other being that they would be giving up their freedom of choice. But amidst all this action, unbeknownst to them is a mysterious villain driven by vengeance – a puppet master manipulating The Avengers into situations they could not predict.

Review:

Another job well-done by the Russo Brothers and the rest of the cast and crew. We see Falcon and Black Widow re-appearing in this sequel, and we also see much more big characters appearing as well. And of course, the much-anticipated introduction to Black Panther and Spider-Man was terrific, and it no doubt broke the internet. Both of their costumes were spectacular and made possible not only with material, but with CGI as well. Props go to them, and even Vision, who had to endure their full-body suits throughout all that film-time.

And now, we come to the emotional side of this story. The movie focuses a lot on feelings such as guilt, regret, and fear. Regret and guilt for all the innocent civilians who had been collateral damage during all their battles, and fear of what they are capable of doing. And it shows how these feelings effect the judgement of certain members of The Avengers whilst they discuss about the Accords. Another repetitive feeling brought up in this movie is vengeance, which affects some of the Avengers as events unfold. We see The Avengers – this team – fracture whilst fighting for what they believe is right. Black Widow is shown to be uncertain – torn between following what she thinks is right and what she thinks is safe and necessary.

The plot was fantastic and very interesting. The dialogues were well-written. It really brought out the seriousness of situations and helped amplify the emotions displayed by the characters. And even the humour was great – for which Ant-Man and Spider-Man contributed well. The stunts and the special effects were notably amazing – they were all well-done. And of course the action sequences were just brilliant. We get to see extra footwork, especially considering Black Panther. All fast-paced and well-choreographed – just like the previous movie – or even better. Civil War is another amazing movie in the Captain America movie series. It’s a definite must-watch.
