Film Review: Captain America: Civil War (2016)@drax578d
2016 was one of the best years in history for Marvel Comics, at least regarding its film activities. The main reason is that Marvel with Marvel Cinematic Universe utterly dominated its main competitor, DC Comics and its film project, the DC Extended Universe, at the box office . Nowhere was this more evident than in the fact that DC's flagship film, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, earned less than Marvel's Captain America: Civil War. This achievement is even more significant for Marvel, considering that this was not one of their top-tier films—like The Avengers—but merely a "regular" sequel in the saga of a single superhero, which fans of other Marvel heroes could theoretically ignore.
However, the film directed by brothers Anthony and Joe Russo is much more ambitious and spectacular than it might appear at first glance, leading many observers to label it a sort of mini-version of The Avengers. The reasons for this are in Marvel's effort to counter DC's pairing of its more established heroes, Batman and Superman. Thus, Captain America had to share his film with a powerful ensemble of his superhero colleagues instead of having a solo adventure. This created a certain problem since the villain that the Avengers must confront needs to be on par with the Chitauri in the first film or Ultron in the second but still below the level of supervillain Thanos, who was reserved for the "real" sequels in the Avengers saga. An elegant solution emerged from one of Marvel's relatively newer comic book series titled Civil War, which, as the name suggests, forced the Avengers into an uncomfortable situation where they must fight against one another.
The plot of the film relies on Avengers: Age of Ultron, depicting the political consequences of the spectacular clash in Sokovia, which turned public opinion against superheroes due to mass destruction and human casualties. In response, world governments, led by the United States, devised a plan to regulate superhero activities through international agreements via the UN. While Tony Stark, alias Iron Man (played by Robert Downey Jr.), believes this is a very good idea, Steve Rogers, alias Captain America (played by Chris Evans), has a completely different opinion and is convinced that it will lead to bureaucratic delays and numerous abuses. Their disagreements escalate further after a diplomatic conference in Vienna during which an African king from Wakanda is killed in a bombing attack, prompting his son and heir T’Challa (played by Chadwick Boseman)—who turns out to have superhuman powers—to seek out and kill the perpetrator. The problem for Rogers is that the culprit is none other than his old war buddy “Bucky” Barnes (played by Sebastian Stan), who has had his mind wiped. Rogers is determined to protect “Bucky” from both T’Challa and Stark, who intends to hand him over to authorities, leading to a spectacular and brutal confrontation among former colleagues and best friends.
Civl War shares the same issue as Dawn of Justice. Viewers understand that superhero characters must be preserved for future sequels and their franchises; therefore, despite the intensity of their conflict, they will ultimately have to bury the hatchet by the end. Similarly to DC's film, Marvel has "cleverly" exploited this mass gathering of superheroes not only to attract as broad a fan base as possible but also to serve as groundwork—a sort of prelude—for individual films dedicated to characters from this fictional universe, in this case featuring Black Panther and rebooted Spider-Man (played by an enthusiastic Tom Holland). The Russo brothers have done a solid job compared to Zack Snyder primarily because they did not insist on a dark atmosphere and gloomy cinematography; instead, they aimed to maintain some balance between light-hearted superhero adventure and grim drama until the final part of the film. They were aided by a series of quite good action scenes.
The main drawback of Civil War, like many Marvel films, lies in its weak script. Partly due to an abundance of characters—many serving merely as decoration—and partly due to less-than-ideal characterisation. The biggest mistake is that Steven Rogers' character—a member of a generation that prioritised state over individual—insists on some rights for superheroes to dispense justice on a "do-it-yourself" basis while individualistic industrialist Tony Stark suddenly becomes an advocate for bureaucratic regulation. This, along with an overly melodramatic finale, detracts significantly from this film; however, fans of Marvel's universe and even most casual viewers are unlikely to have major complaints.

Hello superhero fans. Today I want to talk about one of the best movie trilogies I've ever seen in my life. A masterpiece that at the time made quite an impact on the world of cinema and popular culture worldwide and is still giving much to talk about today. Concluding as the third film of the famous Marvel Comics character, Steve Rogers (Captain America), this film was produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. The film was once again directed by brothers Anthony and Joe Russo. The cast is made up of Chris Evans as the main character, in addition to a large number of actors such as Sebastian Stan, Scarlett Johanson, Robert Downey Jr, Elizabeth Olsen, Jeremy Renner, Paul Rudd, etc. A movie that entertained a whole community of fans and made history, as no other superhero movie of this style has ever done before.

Hola fanáticos de los superhéroes. El día de hoy les quiero hablar de una de las mejores trilogías de películas que he visto en mi vida. Una obra maestra que en su momento impactó bastante en el mundo del cine y en la cultura popular mundial y que aún sigue dando mucho de qué hablar al día de hoy. Concluyendo como la tercera película del famoso personaje de Marvel Comics, Steve Rogers (Capitán América), esta cinta fue producida por Marvel Studios y distribuida por Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. La dirección estuvo a cargo, una vez más, por los hermanos Anthony y Joe Russo. El reparto está conformado por Chris Evans como el protagonista, además de un gran número de actores como Sebastián Stan, Scarlett Johanson, Robert Downey Jr, Elizabeth Olsen, Jeremy Renner, Paul Rudd, etc. Una película que divirtió a toda una gran comunidad de fanáticos y que hizo historia, como nunca antes lo ha hecho otra película de superhéroes de este estilo.
The movie shows Steve Rogers (Captain America), Sam Wilson (Falcon), Natasha Romanoff (Black Widow) and Wanda Maximoff (Scarlet Witch) together on a mission to stop a gang of terrorists led by Crossbones, who seeks to steal a biological weapon in Lagos, Nigeria. After a fierce fight against this group and their dangerous leader, he decides to commit suicide and tries to take Steve and the people around him with him. Wanda tries to keep the people away while trying to control the explosion of the weapon with her powers, but by mistake it explodes in a nearby building where several victims die, members of a country called Wakanda.
At Avengers headquarters in the United States, they receive a visit from Secretary of StateThaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross, who comes with Antony "Tony" Stark (Iron Man) to talk about what happened in Lagos. However, this incident is not the only one, according to the secretary, who reminds them of the incidents that occurred in the first two movies of "The Avengers", where among the battles and the chaos they have caused in multiple countries, there were always dead and wounded. And that is when he proposes an "Agreement" made in Sokovia and approved by more than 100 countries where they force the group of heroes to become an international body monitored and regulated by these nations.

Sin embargo, este incidente no es el único, según señala el secretario, el cual les recuerda los incidentes que ocurrieron en las dos primeras películas de “Los Vengadores”, donde entre las batallas y el caos que han ocasionado en múltiples países, siempre hubo muertos y heridos. Y es ahí cuando le propone un “Acuerdo” hecho en Sokovia y aprobado por más de 100 países donde obligan al grupo de héroes a convertirse en un organismo internacional vigilado y regulado por estas naciones.
Trailer & Review
Below, I will leave you the trailer of the movie:
Beyond being a good superhero movie, this third official installment of Captain America is an entire odyssey mixed with a good number of relevant characters, but with a plot and a heartfelt and very well constructed story. This premise that this work presents us with is very interesting, due to the fact that something like this has never been seen before in the world of cinema, at least not on this scale. And it is not only this, the performances, the action scenes, the special effects, the way the story develops, the reasons given for each confrontation, the relationships that are formed and destroyed along the way, all this makes this film an unforgettable experience, without a doubt. Of course, despite having a good number of cameos, this film stands as the best trilogy that can be found and seen of a superhero movie to this day.
Despite the huge cast of characters that appear, these for some reason do not completely overshadow the prominence given to Steve Rogers (Captain America), who, after everything that happened in his previous film, is now in search of his old best friend (Bucky Barnes), who in turn is his greatest enemy. After the events that occur in this movie, anyone would think that this character was both selfish and insensitive in making the decisions we see, but it is a matter of each person what to think and what conclusion to take, after seeing it complete. Being such a hero, an image of peace for the world and a guide, all this will turn against him when the past chases him and finds him, making him make very difficult decisions. This film will make you think a lot about certain issues such as the sense of justice and the value of life.
SPANISH VERSION
Más allá de ser una buena película de superhéroes, esta tercera entrega oficial de Capitán América es toda una odisea entera mezclada con un buen número de personajes relevantes, pero con una trama y una historia sentida y muy bien construida. Esta premisa que nos presenta esta obra es muy interesante, debido a que nunca antes se ha visto algo igual en el mundo del cine, al menos no a esta escala. Y no es solo esto, las interpretaciones, las escenas de acción, los efectos especiales, la forma de desarrollar la historia, los motivos que dan por cada enfrentamiento, las relaciones que se forman y se destruyen en el camino, todo esto hace de esta cinta una experiencia inolvidable, sin lugar a dudas. Por supuesto, a pesar de tener un buen número de cameos, esta película se mantiene como la mejor trilogía que se puede encontrar y ver de una película de superhéroes al día de hoy.
A pesar del enorme elenco de personajes que aparecen, estos por algún motivo no opacan por completo el protagonismo que le dan a Steve Rogers (Capitán América), el cual, luego de todo lo sucedido en su película anterior, este se encuentra ahora en busca de su viejo mejor amigo (Bucky Barnes), el cual a su vez es su mayor enemigo. Luego de los sucesos que ocurren en esta película, cualquiera pensaría que este personaje fue tanto egoísta e insensible al tomar las decisiones que vemos, pero es cuestión de cada quien qué pensar y qué conclusión tomar, luego de verla completa. Al ser tanto un héroe, una imagen de paz para el mundo y un guía, todo esto se pondrá en su contra al momento en el que el pasado lo persigue y lo encuentre, haciéndolo tomar decisiones muy difíciles. Esta cinta te hará pensar bastante en ciertos temas como lo es el sentido de justicia y el valor de la vida.
The participation of the other actors, apart from Chris Evans, in each and every one of their characters is also something quite commendable. Geniuses such as Robert Downey Jr, Chadwick Boseman and Sebastian Stan did an excellent job in their roles. With a story that binds all the characters in a single dilemma, which will later make them fight each other and turn what was once a great superhero team into a sudden 'Civil War'. The role that the villain has, as well as all the other characters, is something of value, especially when taking one of the sides that are in the film. And, of course, the influence it had on the public and the culture was so great that even today there is still an argument about which command is the right one (Team Iron Man or Team Captain America).
Now, as for the special effects, this is not something less in this film, which became one of the highest grossing films in history for many obvious reasons. The impressive work they had in terms of special effects, CGI and sound effects is incredible, even today you can appreciate and enjoy a quality that can be put above most of the movies and series that has been released by Marvel Studios recently. And at that time, the superhero production company achieved an almost perfect formula by mixing so many elements and characters without losing the essence of the film. But, something that fascinates me above all the above, are the different action scenes and fights that this masterpiece has, which are still remembered either by the visual effects, the incredible choreography, the soundtrack or the same way the characters perform. In the end, this movie is one that I recommend watching, if you have already seen the previous Captain America movies.
Personally, I give it a 9.5/10 rating for the action/sci-fi/superhero genre.

La participación de los demás actores, aparte de Chris Evans, en todos y cada uno de sus personajes es también algo bastante encomiable. Y es que genios como Robert Downey Jr, Chadwick Boseman y Sebastian Stan demostraron un excelente trabajo al momento de interpretar. Con una historia que liga a todos los personajes en un solo dilema, el cual posteriormente los hará luchar entre sí y hacer de lo que antes era un gran equipo de superhéroes una repentina ‘Guerra Civil’. El papel que tiene el villano, al igual que todos los demás personajes, es algo de valor, sobre todo al momento de tomar uno de los bandos que hay en la película. Y, por supuesto, la influencia que esta tuvo ante el público y la cultura fue tan grande que aún al día de hoy se sigue discutiendo sobre cuál mando es el correcto (Team Iron Man o Team Capitán América).
Ahora, en cuanto a los efectos especiales, esto no es algo de menos en esta cinta, la cual se convirtió en una de las más taquilleras de toda la historia por muchas obvias razones. El trabajo tan impresionante que tuvieron en cuanto a efectos especiales, CGI y efectos de sonido es increíble, aún al día de hoy se puede apreciar y disfrutar de una calidad que se puede poner por encima de la mayoría de las películas y series que ha estado sacado Marvel Studios recientemente. Y es que en ese entonces, la productora de superhéroes logró una fórmula casi perfecta al mezclar tantos elementos y personajes sin perder la esencia de la película. Pero, algo que me fascina por encima de todo lo anterior, son las distintas escenas de acción y peleas que tiene esta obra maestra, las cuales siguen siendo recordadas ya sea por los efectos visuales, las increíbles coreografías, la banda sonora o la misma forma de desenvolverse de los personajes. Al final, esta película es una que recomiendo ver, si es que ya has visto las anteriores películas de Capitán América.
Personalmente, le doy una calificación de 9.5/10 en lo que respecta al género de acción, ciencia ficción y superhéroes.

Hi guys, how are you all? Hope you are very well. Friends, we who are movie lovers, if there is a director of our first line, then it must come in one of the marble series. I think there are very few people who don't like marble movies because marble movies are at the top of the list of movie watchers more or less all over the world as far as I've heard or all my friends at home and abroad. When I talked about the relationship, the first thing they talked about was the movie Marble.
I have seen the movie before, so it's time to watch the movie again because I love every episode of Captain America. If there is any time and if I want to see an action movie, I don't live the marble movie first.
Guys, marble movies are always more about superpowers, which is why these movies, even though they are fictional, are so fun to watch that as long as you watch it, you'll feel like you're in one, like you're in real reality, just like in this episode of Captain America, Captain America and Among the other members of the Avengers, an invisible war is set up within themselves, but everyone remains friends. This is how the director has shown what I like very much. Here, he has portrayed the role of Captain America in a very beautiful and candid way.
I like this movie the most. In this place, a psychological war begins with Captain America with Iron Man, or you can say the Cold War. Both are very good friends, but two people take two decisions, and from there, they are created separately inside themselves, and how beautifully it is shot. Those of you who have seen this movie will agree with me. We all like Captain America as much as Ironman is one of our favorites no less than anyone in any part. The funniest thing here is that the new Spiderman was introduced in the episode and I loved all of his performances from his entrance to his kind of funny. I like every single thing about the dialogue.
And Iron Man's role was really amazing in this movie because he is so vulnerable to his parents that he uses a lot of technology for his parents which is shown at the beginning of the movie, and the acting that Iron Man does at the end of his emotion work in this movie. What is shown is really admirable to me because some true events come to him one of his friends and his parents were killed by him that thing he was able to name the kind of actions that he does or the kind of acting that he has shown in it the truth is admirable to me. As much as I appreciate it, I feel less like Marble uses BFX as it is in the movie and uses it so beautifully that it feels like it's actually in the real world so we have superheroes in our midst.
If I had to speak, I would say in one sentence that I find each of Marble's movies amazing, each of them uses as much technology as possible and produces very expensive pictures, and each one shows a different kind of character. Friends I know you may have seen this movie most people and to those who have seen it, I will tell you not to watch this movie you will like it very much.

Another controversial opinion here. I didn't care for this one. I don't know if it is superhero fatigue (which I'm feeling) or just that this one didn't hold together for me. CA:CW is the third Captain America film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a follow-up to both Captain America: The Winter Soldier and** The Avengers: Age of Ultron**.
Winter Soldier was a strong, thoughtful action film that played as much as a spy thriller as a superhero film. It followed Steve Rogers as he sought out to rescue his childhood friend, Bucky, who had become the Winter Soldier, a brainwashed super-soldier controlled by HYDRA, the earth-based badguys. I did keep wondering why he, Black Widow or Nick Fury just didn't call in Iron Man to help out. Or one of the other Avengers. Age of Ultron was an overstuffed, unsatisfying sequel to the first The Avengers flick that spent far too much time setting up Civil War and the eventual, upcoming Infinity Wars series.
Civil War suffers from this same problem. It is setting up several new superhero characters for their own films, bringing everyone together to fight each other and trying to, arguably, keep both sides as good guys. The plot circles around three things: the world's fear of the power of the Avengers and their tendency to break things, Rogers' ongoing attempts to save and rehabilitate the Winter Soldier and a plot by Count Bezo (?) to discredit all the Avengers and set up the Winter Soldier and something, something...
It becomes Tony Stark versus Steve Rogers with everyone picking sides except there's no Hulk and no Thor because they're too powerful I guess. Instead we get Antman, Black Panther and Spider-man joining the fun. It's all confusing and not very serious except it tries very hard to be serious and I was bored a lot of the time.
And annoyed because the characters were acting out of character. The Tony Stark of Iron Man 3 was not the Tony Stark of The Avengers: Age of Ultron and he was different again in this film. I was exasperated by it. Robert Downey Jr. seems to be playing a different character in each film and it seems it's because he's written differently in each film.
I admit, I am one of the few who enjoyed Iron Man 3, mostly because it explores his post traumatic stress from the events in The Avengers but then everything after that has been kind of meh. Antman is saved by is divergence into being more of a heist film but it didn't hold up great for me. Neither does Captain America: Civil War.
›Movie Review: Captain America Civil War@thatanimesnob2995d
So I watched Captain America: Civil War, and guess what, it's a one hundred times better version of Batman V Superman. If you break down the plot you get the exact same story. The differences are:
This movie has a very good build up. The internal conflict happens after the team is formed in a previous movie, instead of before.
The guest star is Spiderman. Everybody loves Spiderman and on top of that he was portrayed beautifully. Nothing close to Wonder Woman, a walking pair of breasts nobody would give a dime about if she wasn't there.
Although the reason the heroes begun fighting each other was still rather weak, it was an amazingly long and well choreographed battle where a dozen people with various powers cause havoc, unlike just Batman and Superman punching each other for 10 minutes.
The reason the heroes stopped fighting was not silly such as their mothers having the same name. They realized things got out of hand when some of them got seriously hurt.
The final boss was not a naked troll. It wasn't even those 5 super soldiers that they were hinting throughout the movie. It was yet another internal conflict, this time not for ideological reasons but for personal ones.
As for the main villain, although he also had no relation to the comic book counterpart, at least he didn't irritate me like Lex Luthor did. And his motivations made sense. I even felt a bit sorry for him at the end.
And even if I see it as a standalone action movie instead of a sequel to Avengers 2 or the better version of Batman V Superman, it's still an overall good superhero movie. It may feel slow at points but the payoff was worth every minute of it. Is it a masterpiece? No, it's not. It was a cheap excuse to see a dozen superheroes reenacting your favorite fan fiction. Take out the excuse for them to fight and there is close to nothing left.
The Watchmen did the exact same premise way before and way better than anyone who tried to copy the success. But it was still a blast for what it aimed to be and it didn't anger me for any particular reason. Marvel rules, DC drools.
