Captain America: Civil War
Directed By: Anthony Russo and Joe Russo
The Story
I thought the story felt very forced. I felt like it didn't really tie into the other marvel movies (apart from characters) and that the movie was made purely to see The Avengers fight against each other. It was almost like kids fighting in the playground and then making friends with each other 5 minutes later, and it left me thinking at the end of the movie what was the point in all of that. I honestly don't get the praise for this movie at all. The Winter Soldier was a masterpiece compared to this, and i almost feel like Marvel can dish anything out now and just recieve praise for it.
The finalists for the Spider-Man role did separate screen tests with Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr., with the intent of seeing whose chemistry fit the best with both Evans and Downey.
Tom Holland commented on how intimidated he was when he came to screen test for Spider-Man, saying that Robert Downey Jr. took him aside and said, "Listen, I remember my screen test for Iron Man. I remember how terrified I was. Just think of it as an audition. It's nothing too scary. If you get it wrong, we'll just start again. No pressure."
The Cast
The cast where pretty good, although there where some characters that i was a little bored and fed up of seeing. Black Pantha was a cool and a great new addition to the Marvel Universe, as well was Spiderman too, although i do think he will be a character that annoys me. I also loved seeing Ant-Man in the mix, he's a great character played very well by Paul Rudd, he's a breath of fresh air in The Universe too.
Movie Highlight
My movie highlight has to be the airport scene. Obvisouly it was pretty cool watching The Avengers fight it out, but i was left a little dissapointed none of them where killed off. As i mentioned above, it all felt very pointless with nothing really major happening. Anyway, regardless of no one getting seriously hurt or killed off the scene was still pretty cool.
My Verdict
I'd say average. It's very overatted and doesn't come close to some of Marvel's other movies. I'd say it was the weakest of The Captain America trilogy also. I will praise the action, and some of the characters, but it did leave me feeling very dissapointed.
