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

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.

Team Captain America                                                                             Team Ironman

Winter Soldier                                                                                            War machine

Scarlet Witch                                                                                              Black Panther

Antman                                                                                                        Vision

Hawkeye                                                                                                      Black widow

Falcon                                                                                                           Spiderman

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

Batman V Superman review

                              Batman V Superman

          

Cast: Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot, Jesse Einsenberg, Amy Adams, Ezra Miller, (Jason Momoa and Ray fisher) who apparently had no lines and had a combined screen time of literally 15 seconds

Release date: March 20, 2016

Budget: 250 million USD

Box office: 872.7 million USD

Rotten tomatoes: 27%                                                  IMDb rating: 7/10

       

Plot: It's been nearly two years since Superman's (Henry Cavill) colossal battle with Zod (Michael Shannon) devastated the city of Metropolis. The loss of life and collateral damage left many feeling angry and helpless, including crime-fighting billionaire Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck). Convinced that Superman is now a threat to humanity, Batman embarks on a personal vendetta to end his reign on Earth, while the conniving Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg) launches his own crusade against the Man of Steel.

CRITICS:

An improvement over Man of Steel, and a much better Batman movie than it is a Superman film. The highlights far outweigh the issues, and DC now has a base on which it can build its empire. Full review

Sean O'Connell·Cinemablend

Batman v Superman lunges for greatness instead of building toward it: It's so topheavy with false portent that it buckles under its own weight. Full review

Stephanie Zacharek·Time

Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill clash in a bid to launch a new superhero franchise, but Zack Snyder’s shoddy adventure never gets off the ground. Full review

Mark Kermode·The Guardian

Batman V Superman is DC's Iron Man 2 - an okay movie that prioritizes shared universe setup over developing a coherent story and layered characters. Full review

OVERVIEW

This is movie in which DC clearly spent a ton of money making……. I mean BATMAN and SUPERMAN for Christ sake. Seeing the two of the world’s most famous and loved characters in stand-alone movies was great but together one would expect a mind blowing sight. Not long after the movie was released, did it started getting criticism. Few viewers thought it was amazing, some thought it was pretty good but most did in fact think that should be refunded as it was bulls**t. Of course this disappointment had no influence on the 872 million USD and rising box office earnings. If there is one thing I hands down respect DC for it’s their trailers for movies and series. I mean I stay online for hours (just kidding, minutes) checking out the different features of this movie, re-watched the trailers over and over again to build up excitement because it was that good. This advert even made one of my ENGINEERING lecturers casually mention the movie during class 😂😂😂. But seriously when it comes down to adverts DC has my respects, checkout that of Legends of tomorrow, Flash, Supergirl, Gotham etc.

WHAT SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED

1.      Conference bombing scene: We all saw in Superman returns (or was it a different one) when Superman went back in time by fly round the earth in reverse to its rotation to save Lois right. Why didn’t he use that in the scene of the conference bombing tho? He could have gone back in time and used his X ray vision to see who detonated the bomb and then stop it *smh.

2.      Saving his mother: He is freaking SUPERMAN, he is as fast as a bullet couldn’t he have like searched all the buildings in Metropolis to find his mother instead of being Lex’s servant. Also he always seemed to know when Lois was in trouble why not his mother whom he has been with all his life 😒😒

3.      The fight: During the fight between “man and god”, batman shoots him with an unexpected kryptonite grenade and he loses strength for a while giving Bruce the advantage. But later in the fight when superman regains full strength, batman then shoots him again, even I a normal man would try to dodge that not just fly right into it. Seriously watch that scene again, he literally flew into it, for a man faster than a speeding bullet he is very stupid. Also when he got his strength back instead of throwing him through walls why not simply snap his neck, he is a freaking human being. Throwing him throw walls didn’t have any effect because he wore an all metal suit soooooo.

4.     Boss battle: During the final fight with doomsday superman flies holding a kryptonite staff(which weakened him) straight to doomsday, my question is why did HE have to do it, wonder woman was perfectly capable of doing so…..she’s pretty badass.

5.     Martha!!!: So after all these years that’s the great batman’s weakness. He’s a mama’s boy. You’re in a fight with someone and then he says your mothers name does that grant him instant freedom 😒😒😒 . I should try that someday.

Extra: Flash cameo: Barry Allen’s appearance according to online sources has been explained. From what flash was saying “you were right, fear him, fear him”, it means that I the first installment of the Justice league movie, Superman is going to come back from the dead as evil, therefore making the remaining six members fight him. When he also said “It’s Lois, Lois is the key” it means all this true love blah blah blah, would bring him back to his right senses. He then asked “Am I too early?” meaning this message was for after superman had supposedly died.

  My TobyTale rating is 7/10
