Captain America: Civil War

Captain America: Civil War

Dir: The Russo Bros. 
Cast: Robert Downey Jr, Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan, 
Jeremy Renner, Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Bettany, Chadwick Boseman

   In the new movie, Captain America: Civil War, the government wants to put restrictions
  on the Avengers after causing many innocent lives lost due to defending the Earth from
  sinister forces. 
      Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr) supports this cause along with other super powered
individuals.Captain America (Chris Evans) has conflicting ideas about it while trying to
protect his best friend Bucky from having to answer for his crimes while brainwashed by 
the evil organization, Hydra.
     Bucky goes on the run after being framed for the murder of Black Panther's father by
a mysterious man with a hidden agenda. We also get to see what happened to Tony's 
parents long before he became Iron Man.
      While the movie is long, sadly it suffers from the third movie syndrome.The action
scenes are few and far between. The plot felt dragged out almost to the point of boredom.
I felt that there were too many plots going on while trying to set up other films to come.
       The surprise villain of the film was mostly forgettable, looking nothing like his
 comic book counterpart. 
       The good parts of the movie were the funny one liners and the introduction of 
Spider Man. The battle at the airport was pretty fun to watch. This felt more like 
Avengers 2.5 than a Captain America movie. This is my favorite MCU movie 
of the year.
       I had high expectations for this movie but felt it didn't live up to it.All in all it 
was pretty mediocre just not as good as CA: The Winter Soldier.
