Captain America: Civil War

Marvel’s latest billion-dollar-blockbuster-to-be, Captain America: Civil War, is essentially a third Avengers movie.

It’s almost easier to say what isn’t in Captain America: Civil War, since the latest Marvel movie features deaths, bad feelings all around, alliances formed and broken, two guys with bug names, a kiss and the best superhero battle put to film yet.

The fun of the action scenes exacerbates the failure of the narrative to adequately contend with its own themes.

It's Team Cap vs. Team Iron Man in this near-perfect addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Entertaining mayhem ensues when some of the Avengers reject government oversight following a botched operation.

It's that rare superhero movie that doesn’t grind you down with nonstop action.

2983d ago

The most mature and substantive picture to have yet emerged from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Marvel’s new “Captain America” is anything but bleak — what’s so audacious about the film, and so pleasing, is its quicksilver mix of hardcore action and bright comedy.

With Captain America: Civil War, we’ve now entered Phase 3 in the Marvel Cinematic Universe rollout/cash grab.

2983d ago

Nothing in “Civil War” takes your breath away. All the exteriors are shrouded in the same overcast, indistinct light. Little in story terms is what you’d call daisy fresh. But almost everything in it works on its own prescribed terms, and the quiet moments register.

If nothing else, Captain America: Civil War stands as something of a corrective to this spring's other superheroes-bludgeoning-each-other opus, Batman v Superman.
