This film was what I consider to be one of the strongest and most compelling entrees in Marvel's cinematic universe yet! The film was decidedly a little more serious than usual, but also found the perfect balance of action and humor and and picked all of the right times to be light-hearted and humorous, unlike another recent big superhero movie this year (do I even need to say which one!?) It also had many surprises in store and took several unexpected turns and even had a surprisingly well-done character development, as it delves deeper into Captain America and Iron Man's personal conflicts! Admittedly, it did feel a little too cluttered and chaotic at times, but the film was able to remain fun for the most part for these reasons as well! Overall, I'd certainly consider it a step above Age of Ultron and it had a little bit of everything to offer, from the action, humor, characters, etc, making it one of the most fun and intriguing Marvel films thus far!… Expand

"The Opening to Marvel: Phase Three is a simple: Oh, by God!"

"There was no way more perfect and majestic to start Phase Three of Marvel Cinematic Universe" This "Captain America: Civil War" Review contains some spoilers. If you have"The Opening to Marvel: Phase Three is a simple: Oh, by God!"

"There was no way more perfect and majestic to start Phase Three of Marvel Cinematic Universe"

This "Captain America: Civil War" Review contains some spoilers. If you have not seen "Civil War" film, please, do not read, this could destroy it.

A few years ago, approximately, five or six years, Marvel had in its hands one script and one proposal that possessed enough unknowns. That project would receive the name of "Avengers". The biggest concern for the owners of the company was supposed to make a film where not only a hero was the protagonist, may break the story, be boring and completely commercial. Two years later, on May 4, 2012, "Marvel's The Avengers" landed in all movie theaters, solving each and every one of those unknowns on just the first day at the box office. Today, Mayo 2016, "Civil War" increases its number of participants to 12 heroes and 3 villains. Will this be the film event of the year? I don't know, I can only assure, Marvel has lost the fear and perhaps in the next few years its projects could reach total perfection (Avengers: Infinity War Part:1 or 2).

Based on the Comic of 2006-2007, movie serves as a sequel to "Age of Ultron" and "Captain America: The Winter Soldier". After all the fighting and disaster in "Ultron", the Avengers return to discuss issues still more violent than in 2015, the death of innocents (something very, very similar to what we saw in "BvS", with Superman, and then say that they are polar opposites) and the dilemma, Does our help really help?

Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross (William Hurt, reprising his role from The Incredible Hulk) immediately ordered a conference to bring together to acclaimed heroes. After showing the dramatic and terrible consequences of their actions, it opens way for the culprit of this civil war. Sokovia Accords established by the United Nations. That treaty, aims to put each of the actions and missions of the Avengers in the hands of the United Nations for so, take care of each human life, taking into account that it will be them who decide if the heroes can act or not. As expected, not everyone agrees. They needed something for fight, here is their reason. After discussions, different thoughts, ideologies and equations, the decisions are made. 36 hours, two teams, a objective, an end, and Russo Brothers, Civil War has begun!

I affirm with all security and respect that "Civil War" has the best sequences of action of Marvel films so far, with sophisticated and perfect choreographies and training. A true example, and personally one of the best parts of the movie, the fight at Berlin airport. The presentation of both sides, literally, made me cry, its class, its style, its elegance and its professionalism to mix and combine each of the specific abilities (physical and emotional) of the old and new heroes, to create a scene of entertainment, quality and long, long fight makes that truly the public continues to support to "Marvel" for continue, (Curious fact: Directors David Leitch and Chad Stahelski ("John Wick") are part of the second unit of the film).

"Spider-Man is the equivalent to Wonder Woman in Civil War"

Special relevance has the presentation of Spider-man and Black Panther. Their inclusion is appropriate, the first is introduced in way more relaxed and comic, who along with his fight and jokes makes this be the best performance in the Peter Parker story.

Another hero who had appointment was a Black Panther, an heir to the throne full of hatred and pain, perfect for his own movie and with a fresh and innovative appearance. In addition, other friends already seen previously are incorporate to the group as "Ant-Man", associating the world of past facts (seen in the films) with the present, something that really strengthens and gives coherence to the Marvel Universe. While many characters used this as a springboard for their own films (Spider Man - Black Panther), all boils down to the personal conflict revealed at the end between these three men, it is something that goes beyond policies, laws, treaties or rules, this is personal. Russo brothers take the decision after pleasing to the public with that magnificent fight, they there will be no more effects, flying planes, cobwebs, or CGI, for that moment, they weave meticulously a narrow path to focus on the three real protagonist of the story, Tony, Steve and Bucky.

And then, arrive the final fight, "Iron Man" vs. "Captain America" a dispute of friends. The fact that Bucky was defeated and they could fight each other was really fantastic, this is not a trick more to win more money, it is the destiny. Personally, I felt like the final fight between Batman and Superman, that anger but at the same time love, that hate but at the same time forgiveness , it created a swirl of emotions and thoughts that ended in fatalism. "CW" had all the unimaginable, and even the enigmatic and traditional cameo appearance of Stan Lee.

Phase three has begun. If Marvel offers us more equal or better products that this, will sound crazy but, they could reach the level and love of critics and fans to "Star Wars" . Goodbye to the cliché about Marvel films are cheap fiction and paste sh_t, quality exists. "Civil War" gives us a true contrast of "BvS", but is just as tasty, fruitful and exciting. "CW" is the best film of "Marvel" so far. It plants strong and resistant foundations to the future to come, leaving a hard and impossible work for Warner Bros. with "Suicide Squad" and Fox and Marvel (again) with "X-Men: Apocalypse" in May and "Doctor Strange" in November.… Expand

To be fair, its better than BvS but that's the only positive thing I can say about this. Spider-Man is just flat out irritating and the way he is shoehorned into the story is horrible. Black Panther is just - nothing. Every 'joke' fell flat with the half empty audience I watched it with, and I've never seen so many punters take a loo break, and no one seemed to be saying nice things on the way out so don't think I'm alone in my thinking. Kids will be bored to tears until the airport scene. Admittedly, that scene will entertain the young, but they'll probably be asleep or on their smartphones by the time it arrives.… Expand

Aquí comienza la Fase 3 a lo grande, espero a los que hablen español hayan leído mi crítica y los invito a ver mis otras críticas de las entregas anteriores de Marvel Studios, seguiré comentando con cada película que vea de esta saga fílmica única.… Expand

You might think that the movie looks a lot like an Avengers movie and it kind of is but it is mostly a movie about Captain America and Bucky and how one thing can tear them apart from the Avengers. The old cast is great and it was awesome seeing Ant-man fight with the Avengers. The new cast is great also, especially Black Panther who has a lot of great scenes. Spider-man was pretty funny and had some pretty great scenes.Tom Holland did a good job capturing the Spider-man character. It's not really Tom Hollands fault but I felt like the directors were trying as hard as possible to make spider-man like deadpool without all the crass humor. It was a little distracting but I got over it pretty quick. My main issue with the movie is that they had this villian shoehorned into the movie that they kept cutting to in the middle of a ton of awesome scenes. It was really annoying because he was such a weak villain and I never cared about his plot. He gets a little more interesting in the end but by that time we really don't care. The Airport scene is great and will definitely go down as one of the best superhero fight scenes. And Ant-man................well just watch the movie.… Expand

The action sequences have been skillfully crafted and coordinated while not losing momentum amidst the drama and tension between the characters. Unlike many of the previous Marvel films, you get to see real emotion with some of the main characters and the dedicated acting really helps immerse you in the experience.

Overall, the film delivers an extraordinary amount of content, filling up with unique characters and sequences. In addition to this, I have never found humor so good in any other MCU film.… Expand

I loved Captain America: The Winter Soldier and The Avengers, but Civil War does everything that Marvel has needed to do for a while. Civil War is perfectly written, crafted with care and heart, and feature brilliant character development. All things considered Civil War is a feat, because it finally shows that Marvel is willing to take some risks, all the while remaining true to what has made their films so enjoyable.
When looking at Civil War, in specific the story, it’s almost perfect. The story serves as a culmination of all the events that have occurred in the ever expanding marvel cinematic universe. The great thing about this film is it’s the first comic book film to intelligently address the issue of how do people respond to the seemingly endless carnage created by the main characters. Such a simple idea is perfectly applied create a thought provoking movie where every action has a repercussion.
The brilliance of this film can’t be understated, because the politics within the film are fictional, but feel realistic, and are dominated by shades of grey. The film finds a way to be more brave than any of the previous marvel films by taking risks and attacking deep issues, but keeps the iconic sense of humor marvel has become known for. It should be noted that the film’s not dark or anything, but it does attack complex themes, and conveys a surprising amount of emotional depth for a summer blockbuster. When you consider the density of the story and the amount of characters featured it’s amazing that the film worked as well as it did.
That brings me to what I consider the most impressive element of the entire film, the character development. It’s difficult to have a film with as many characters as this film has, and make every character feel well developed, but this film does that, more so it makes you feel for characters who are brawling with each other. The acting was one reason the characters feel so well developed as the actors brought small nuances that sold the characters that much more, and while Chris Evans is great in this film the real superstar is Robert Downey Jr., who brings so many emotions to his performance in this film. This is in my opinion the best portrayal of Iron Man since his original film, but the irony is that the show stealer is Spider-Man who marvel nailed.
For those who enjoy films that are funny, touching, action-packed, or just good stories this film won’t disappoint. This film is what Batman v. Superman should have been, however is even more impressive because the film finds a way to juggle so many different tasks, and does it well. Captain America: Civil War is one of those great films that everybody can watch and enjoy for different reasons. If you like movies of this genre, check Civil War out because it’s one of the best in recent memory.… Expand

A return to form for Marvel after disappointing movies like Age of Ultron and Ant-Man.

Pros: - Loved the themes about patriotism and liberalism, they really were thought-provoking to the point you question which side is the mostA return to form for Marvel after disappointing movies like Age of Ultron and Ant-Man.

Pros:

- Loved the themes about patriotism and liberalism, they really were thought-provoking to the point you question which side is the most righteous. For one, Tony Stark defends heroes should be controlled/monitored by the government, and that's fine but it prevents these "vigilantes" from having the rights to choose, and that could be deadly if they don't have much space to stop "the bad guys". On the other hand, Steve thinks they have the right to choose what they do. The conversations we have about these two themes never get repetitive and it builds up the conflict between Stark and Rogers just fine. Those two were never best buddies, despite Stark's "So was I [your friend]" assertion. They were also measuring d*cks back in 2012's The Avengers.

- Once again, the Russos Brothers nailed the action and visual panache that made "Winter Soldier" so robust. The best action in the film includes a 15-min battle in an airport, when heroes go toe-to-toe.

- Crammed the characters excellently. The movie never felt, for a minute, overloaded or messy. The conflict was streamlined enough to make the movie more focused than "Age of Ultron" ever did. Additions like Black Panther were a nice touch, and allowed for some nerdgasm moments.

- Spidey!! Despite only a half hour of screentime, his presence was the thing I was most excited about this movie. And it surely paid off. Tom Holland so far nails the character, and Marisa Toomey as Aunt May is good too, even if the actress is a little bit young for the role. And just seeing Spider-Man fight Bucky, Falcon, Ant-Man and Cap himself was a joy I never thought I would experience in a live-action movie. For those who haven't seen this movie yet, be sure to stick around after the credits (not mid-scene, AFTER) to see a special tidbit that happens to Peter.

CONS:

- Weak villain. His plan is ultimately disappointing, and the backstory as to why he becomes so dangerously mad is half-baked.

- Third act. Very disappointing.

Overall, the third Captain America adventure fulfills its promise and delivers blend of drama, comedy and action. It features old and new characters, and most important, it is not overstuffed and is surely an exciting, well-directed and acted piece of gem worth watching.

Score: 8.5/10… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Except for the opening scene and the 40 minutes ranging from Spiderman recruitment to the end of Rissone in the airport, the film is shot with a field equal to that of a style TV series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. He does not have the breath of cinema. He does not have the eye of the cinema. It has not the time of cinema. And 'a film thought in 4: 3, with a depth of field and width of production from Netflix look.
Not that this is necessarily a bad thing (especially when an episode of a serial has never been so beautiful) but we are at the movies **** not in front of the TV. Pretty much the only good thing left of Age of Ultron was thrown away (where Whedon, despite his past as filmed cable, a bit of cinema has tried to do so).
The two storyline of the film, although intertwined very well unlike film as BvS, have succeeded in half: the Zemo plan is uncertain to say the least, the bad fact won the uselessness of the film award and all the events related to Bucky, in my opinion, too much attention away from the concept of "civil war" and, in the first part, I have also quite bored (and I was not the only room). The storyline on the Civil War, although very interesting and presented in an almost excellent, with all the motivation consistent for each character to be part of one side or another, is developed very little and absolutely so flat and not very brave. Do not you feel the climate of "civil war" (I do not speak of rissoni cartoon, but the background that reigns around crossover that gave a unique feel to the reader, plunging him also it into a civil war, where the enemy are not outsiders but people who until recently were brothers), the protagonists often get lost in idle chatter and exchange flips. It lacks the drama, lacking the excitement and miss the involvement of the viewer (that's why I say that is cool)
Then in truth there is the opening scene and especially those 40 minutes mentioned above that are a different story. All defects already explained that in my opinion are present in this film magically disappear, and the film becomes what it should be: an exciting, technically perfect and thrilling clash-encounter between supertizi. in short, a masterpiece (if you notice, also and above all from the point of view of directing the film changes a lot bringing us abruptly to the movies).
After the airport scene, the situation is as before but with very muted aforementioned defects (the direction changes again!).
The conclusion I consider it a less courageous film TWS and therefore do not live up to its predecessor.… Expand

'Captain America: Civil War' is another winner from the Russo brothers, who also directed 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' (2014) which is my favourite MCU movie of all time.

The movie starts with an action scene that involves Captain'Captain America: Civil War' is another winner from the Russo brothers, who also directed 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' (2014) which is my favourite MCU movie of all time.

The movie starts with an action scene that involves Captain America (Chris Evans) leading the new team of Avengers which include; Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) and The Falcon (Anthony Mackie). This intense action scene reminds me of the opening scenes in 'Casino Royale' (2006) and 'Skyfall' (2012), the fact that the Russo brothers would take a comic book property and adapt it into a spy, espionage thriller genre is absolutely intense and gripping.

An accident occurs throughout this scene which costs the lives of many innocent people, that is when the government decide to take action. General Thaddeus Ross (William Hurt) informs the group that they must sign an accord which Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), War Machine (Don Cheadle) and Vision (Paul Bettany) agree to do, but the captain doesn't think it's right to do so. He finds out that his old friend, Bucky aka "The Winter Soldier" (Sebastian Stan) has been committing some serious crimes and is wanted by the government.

Steve tries everything he can to protect his old friend, and the conflict between Steve and Tony gets heated pretty fast.

We also see some interesting characters getting introduced such as Black Panther (a very talented Chadwick Boseman), and Spider-Man (a very quirky Tom Holland) finally makes his debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and, without spoiling too much...both Black Panther and Spidey are absolutely amazing in this movie. You will not be disappointed as to how they are written in.

Ant-Man (Paul Rudd) is even better in this movie than he was in his solo movie, he provides a lot of laughs, but at the same time, proves that he is more powerful and useful than we think.

The best sequences in this movie are the chase scene between the Winter Soldier, Black Panther and Captain America...the fact that it escalates so quickly creates an even more intense moment. There is also the airport scene in which we see the fight between "Team Iron Man" and "Team Captain America" battle it out. Every hero is used to their full potential here, it's amazing that the Russo's are able to bring in a crowd of heroes and keep it focused. Bravo.

Some may be concerned that this looks a little overstuffed, it isn't crowded and confused like 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2' (2014), and strangely enough, this still feels like a "Captain America" movie, like it is a direct sequel to 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' (2014).

Even though it feels like a "Captain America" movie, you actually understand the two different points of view between Iron Man and Captain America, this is a more grounded movie, and you can find yourself sympathising with both characters and their motivations.

The Russo brothers have crafted a grounded, hand-to-hand combat, stylish, thriller film. This makes me confident in the decision to give the Russo brothers "Infinity War" movies. Their approach to using characters at their very best, and not relying so much on CGI in favour of hand-to-hand combat sequences.

The reason why this is a step below 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' (2014) is because the villain, who is Zemo (Daniel Bruhl), is once again, an underused Marvel villain. He isn't memorable like; Obidiah Stane, Loki, Alexander Pierce and Ultron...but his role is very small to the point where it won't affect the overall movie. This is about a dispute between The Cap and Iron Man. Things get out of hand as the movie goes on. The stakes get higher and higher and I don't think any Marvel film will surpass the tension of this...

The Russo brothers are truly a gift at Marvel!… Expand

Admittedly this is a few notches up from previous efforts and, despite a patchy and inconsistent screenplay there is actually a germ of a good story being played out, albeit at monstrously excessive length. The mystery surrounding the deaths of Iron Man’s parents; the brief introduction of additional warriors and a fantastic stunt set piece involving Captain America and a helicopter are all plot points or moments that promise much. Unfortunately, pasting such highlights between endless fights and battles ensure that the story’s flow becomes a stop start affair. These action sequences are not only lengthy and unimaginatively staged, but are also loaded with the usual tiresome banter and unfunny lines which severely disjoint the passably good story and seem to have become a staple ingredient of these films. Technically the achievements are good enough, but it has to be said that the cinematography is very dark for much of the time. Also, the special effects whilst perfectly acceptable are not really showcasing anything new. Fans will, I’m sure, lap it all up. However, even as I contemplate this certainty the one question that keeps wanting to be asked is WHY?… Expand

I am happy to say that this movie completely delivered. The action sequences were incredible (the airport battle is insane and could easily be the best action scene in any comic book movie). The final fight was emotional and extremely compelling. Although the movie deals with some serious topics and there are darker moments, it is still able to have a lot the humor that the MCU is known for. Also, black panther and spider man are amazing. Well done Marvel. This may be their best movie yet! 10/10… Expand

This has been everything that fans want in one place, the fight scenes are excellent, the plot is great, the dialogue is fantastic and it doesn’t spend too much time sequel baiting at all. There are a ton of characters and they are all used to good extent and feel relevant and the Russo brothers not only do this well, but make it look like it’s easy and that’s a feat that has only been pulled off by Joss Weedon in the past. If this is the team behind the Infinity War Movies, sign me up immediately because this film kicked ass. I think some fans might be taken a bit aback by the fact that there is not as much of the Weedon-esque humour in this film but it’s not entirely absent and feels like it has just the right amount in the movie. If you are a fan of the Marvel films I would say check this one out, if you are not that really in to the Marvel films then prior to this you should at least watch all three of the Iron Man films, both of the Avengers films and all three of the Captain America films. I know that is a lot but there are a lot of back story in the Marvel Cinematic Universe at this point and it is kind of necessary viewing at this point.… Expand

It's pretty much as good as one might have hoped. Unlike the last Captain America, this is basically an Avengers movie with a central thread built around Cap and his bro Bucky. However, it is much, much better than the last Avengers was.It's pretty much as good as one might have hoped. Unlike the last Captain America, this is basically an Avengers movie with a central thread built around Cap and his bro Bucky. However, it is much, much better than the last Avengers was.

The movie's downsides are its lack of focus; there is a balance between characters and storylines but they all go by really quickly. Also, like its competitor Batman v Superman, this movie is predicated on the odd conceit that the violence of the previous movies suddenly counts. Flipping the switch to suddenly have people care about death and mayhem is a bit awkward, as is the conflict in engenders, but if you're willing to go along for the ride, it's a fun ride.

The movie's upsides include possibly the best superhero action Marvel has put out and some pretty intriguing character introductions. It seems a strange choice to introduce a new Spider-Man by shoehorning him into a movie with a boatload of less popular characters, but the new take on the character is refreshing, genuine, and funny. Finally, a kid playing a kid. Black Panther is slightly less exciting and is walking on ice a little bit, but I felt the character worked and would want to see his solo movie.

The direction is slick, the mix of humor and action should appeal to most any audience, and the effects are great. But perhaps the biggest surprise (and maybe it shouldn't be) is that like the last movie in the series, this one really advances the continuity. The Marvel universe changes after this movie, in ways far deeper than a simple apocalypse averted or character death would suggest. All in all, it's a satisfying ride.… Expand

Captain America Civil War is everything that Marvel fans deserves.
A good story to build up the atmosphere,damn good fight scene mix with amazing camera work.
The characters are all well acting,especially antman and spiderman,their humor just knock it out of the park and just steal the show.Also I really like Zemo in this movie,he act like a really emotional and scary villain.All the action scene in this film is just badass,the airport fight is the best fight I've seen in superhero movies.It is amazing to see so many characters in a movie,and still have their moments to shine.
I took some points away is because I don't like the ending and some of the unnecessary set up scene.
But still an amazing movie… Expand

I enjoyed the other two Captain Americas quite a bit, but this one got a little samey. The action sequences are amazing, but the "drama" between those scenes gets - in a word - boring.

I don't really know how to say this in a couple of words due to this movie being my 1,000th movie reviewed on the site, but in any way, who cares? Let's go straight to the movie. Captain America: Civil War is that one movie I was dying to seeI don't really know how to say this in a couple of words due to this movie being my 1,000th movie reviewed on the site, but in any way, who cares? Let's go straight to the movie. Captain America: Civil War is that one movie I was dying to see and finally got the wish to do so. Unlike Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Captain America: Civil War has violence, joy, and power. When the Avengers became two different sides due to extreme disagreement, that's where we're beginning to get real violence like in the comics. Choose your side. I choose Captain America not just because it's his movie, it's that he is doing it for justice and that's what I love about Captain America. I mean I don't want to flame if you join Iron Man, but that's with me. If I had to versus this to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Captain America: Civil War will win 100%. No one was expecting this at all (especially Spider-Man being a show stealer) and that's how Captain America: Civil War becomes another recipe for the Marvel Cinematic Universe and a fresh start to the third phrase. It also introduces Black Panther to the Marvel Cinematic Universe as well. In any way, this felt more like an "Avengers 2.5" movie than a normal Captain America movie, but I still love it regardless of the entire situation. Now this is a movie I would rather stay in theaters for a second or third time.… Expand
