THERE ARE SOME SPOILERS IN THIS REVIEW.
Hello readers,
It was 7.03pm when I started typing out this post and I just got back from JEM. As you can tell, I just watched Captain America: Civil War and honestly it is one of the Marvel's best films out there. The film assembled with Chris Evans as the titular character and some familiar faces including Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark/Iron Man, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow and Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier.
Captain America: Civil War is a thought-provoking film on the good and bad side of being a hero. If you could recall the moments in Avengers: Age of Ultron, Avengers and Captain America: Winter Soldier, then it wouldn't be a problem when references were made in this film. Because of the recent events, the government and the United Nations decided that there must be guidelines and law needed to contain The Avengers. Thus, Sokovia Accords was born.
The story begins from here when the audience were shown the breakdown of The Avengers, especially between Captain America and Iron Man. As righteous as we know Captain America, his refusal to sign the bill caused a riff in the Avengers since everyone listened to his orders most of the time. On the other hand, Iron Man is one of those superheroes whom the public knows in and out and was filled with guilts, especially the recent Avengers event.
Besides the different sides of Captain America and Iron Man, this film also introduced two new superheroes including Black Panther and the long awaited Spider-Man. Black Panther was different from the rest of the cast members. He does not stand on any side and all he wanted to seek revenge for his father after allegedly killed by The Winter Soldier.
In my opinion, there was no good or bad. Both Captain America and Iron Man saw each other as wrong. Iron Man did what he could because he wanted to protect his people and was feeling remorse for his actions. His arrogance was the factor that led him to be a hot-headed person and it was evident when he refused to listen out that The Winter Soldier was innocent and harmed anyone who was in his way. Captain America has his fault too because of his friendship with Bucky Barnes. He spent almost the whole time in the film, trying to reach out for Bucky, despite what he had done as the Winter Soldier. The rest of the cast members were just standing with different side because of either benefits or ideologies.
Throughout Captain America: Civil War, the film was brilliantly written in bringing out the 'VS' kind of stuff and was on another level than Batman Vs Superman: Dawn of Justice. The villain was a jerk and it reminded us, people, that not all villains are people with abilities or anything. He was just a normal guy whose sadness and anger consumed him to the point he decided to mess up the Avengers for his agenda: vengeance. Like what I said, this film is a thought-provoking film and it really does reflect on real life. I totally liked the idea of bringing Ant Man and Spider-Man into the equation. They made the film more lively and vibrant (check out Ant Man's new ability!).
In conclusion, if you haven't watch Captain America: Civil War, I recommend you should. This film is one of best (emotional thought-provoking) by Marvel Studios and I look forward to seeing how the Russo Brothers proceed from here.
Ratings: 10/10
P.S. There are two ending credits scenes in this film. Also, any Steve and Bucky shippers out there, what's with the helicopter scene? I swear Bucky was smirking at Steve.
