PLOT

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

CRITICS

A decisively superior hero-vs.-hero extravaganza that also ranks as the most mature and substantive picture to have yet emerged from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Full review

Entertaining mayhem ensues when some of the Avengers reject government oversight following a botched operation. Full review

Peter Bradshaw·The Guardian

For all the action and wit on display, there are mournful undercurrents to Civil War, much as there were to Winter Soldier before it. Full review

Overview

This is hands down the best marvel movie and arguably the greatest superhero movie of all time. Who knew Captain America could kick so much ass 🙌🙌🙌. We even saw the winter soldier and black panther also show off their fighting skills. Marvel really enhanced everyone in the movie from black widow’s shock glove to Ant man’s surprising increase in size. The movie shows them in various parts of the world even in Lagos, Nigeria😀. The costumes were also on point even hawk eye the occasional buzz kill of the bunch was pretty dope in the movie. Black panther was forced to claim his title when his father was murdered in a bombing set up to frame Bucky. This made the king oppose Cap’s team and teamed up with Ironman.

Ironman also recruited Spiderman from New York. While Steve was in contact with Hawkeye, who decided to come out of retirement (why not deadpool) and Antman. They all met in an airspace and began the fight.

Well the team I rooted for from day one came out victorious (Cap’s team). The scene when it came down to Ironman vs Captain America and well Bucky too for a while, really showed that fighting is not just about abilities but also teamwork, endurance and determination…. look at me sounding like Mr. Miyagi.

What should have happened

1.     The Document:I don’t know why Tony was so eager to sign it and get other to do the same because after all he was the main cause of all the destructions. He was the one who fooled around with Loki’s staff and created Ultron. He was the one who took on hulk with the hulk smasher robot causing so much damage to the city.

2.    Seeing double: Is it just me or are Vision and Black Panther similar to Superman and Batman. Think about it Vision is colored red and blue, shoots out laser beams, wears a cape, super strong (probably), and also can fly. Black panther wears black, doesn’t have abilities, but makes up for it with his tech, stupid rich and is always so serious… sounds pretty familiar to me.

3.    Iron man’s capabilities: Marvel isn’t using ironman to his full potential, ironman can fly, shoot out lasers and has a fully stocked arsenal in his suit. Honestly I see no reason why he should have beaten by Cap. Don’t get me wrong I love the captain but with ironman’s abilities I’d kill him. In the last fight scene when Tony had knocked the shield out of Steve’s hand, he had a very huge advantage, he could have just shot him with his chest or hand blasters or maybe he just didn’t want to kill him tho.

4.    Scarlet witch: She did it in Avengers age of Ultron, so why not again or did she loose the ability to perform mind fucked illusions. She could have fucked up the minds of the entire ironman team…. simple

5.    Bucky and Steve: why does Steve love him so much tho. He is just a friend not his wife. I mean let the guy speak for himself. I’m almost very positive that the winter soldier would have beaten black panther without help.   

TobyTale rating: 9/10
