In the same year that DC gave us the abomination that was “Batman v Superman”, Marvel showed us how you do a movie about superheroes battling one another with “Captain America: Civil War”. It definitely has its faults but I think this is a rather entertaining superhero flick.

The Avengers are facing greater scrutiny from the world after their missions have led to enormous levels of death and destruction. The proposed restrictions on the group’s ability to operate cause a rift as Captain America (Chris Evans “Captain America: The First Avenger”) and Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr. “Iron Man”) form rival collections of heroes but there is a sinister foe pulling the strings.

It’s good to see Captain America, Iron Man and some of the others back and I was particularly pleased to see Ant-Man (Paul Rudd “Ant-Man”) in here. I also really liked how the film introduced the new Spider-Man (Tom Holland), who was great, as well as the Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman “42”). However, I think the villain, Zemo (Daniel Brühl “Rush”) is one of the worst villains I have seen in a film in a very long time. Supervillains need to be superpowered and not just some guy.

“Captain America: Civil War” features some really impressive action sequences as we see the superheroes battle it out an airport. I was less enthusiastic by some of the political elements of the story and I despised the villain but overall, this movie is a blast. I was left a little underwhelmed by “Avengers: Age Of Ultron” but “Captain America: Civil War” throws in enough creativity to make a really satisfying addition to the Marvel movies. Marvel does what DC could not as it has made an entertaining superhero flick that helps expand its universe without feeling as though it is just there to promote more movies.
