Synopsis:
Political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability when the actions of the Avengers lead to collateral damage. The new status quo deeply divides members of the team. Captain America (Chris Evans) believes superheroes should remain free to defend humanity without government interference. Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) sharply disagrees and supports oversight. As the debate escalates into an all-out feud, Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) and Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) must pick a side.
My review:
Captain America: Civil was the movie I am waiting for. It just knocked me off my feet. The movie was complex, intelligent and exhilarating as it divides our heroes into two rival groups at war against each other - each character with compelling motivations for their choices and actions, just as well as the smart villain.
This is the best of the Avengers/Marvel Universe. The screenplay, directing, and of course, the casting, takes another notch in distinction. Not only is this the best in the Captain America series, I dare say, this is the best of the Avengers/Marvel Universe.
Kudos to the cast and co-directors Anthony and Joe Russo for juggling more than a dozen comic-book characters and nearly that many plot lines, and only occasionally getting me lost in the Geek Weeds.
My ratings for Captain America:Civil War 9 out of 10 star*********
