My daughter has been wanting to see the new Marvel movie Captain America Civil War, so today we decided to check it out. I am not a big fan of action movies but I have enjoyed the past Marvel moves. With the cast that was listed I figured it wouldn't be much different then the other ones.
Well, I was wrong... this one dragged on and on. It starts out with Captain America's friend Bucky captured and being reprogrammed by the Russians. Then it jumped to the Avenger gang doing their thing.. saving the day, but this time with some collateral damage. A building accidentally was blown up by one of their members. Now they were getting bad press and the government wanted to control the group.
Here was the bad guy setting up scenarios for the Avengers to fix and by doing so he was able to make the group look bad. He also found the book with codes to turn Bucky into a bad guy again.
The whole movie moved very slowly. I wish they would have expanded the story more. It seemed like it was missing some substance. I did like the conflict that the bad guy made with the Avengers. Half were for letting the government control what they do and the other wasn't. This caused a huge riff in the group. Of coarse Tony was on the side of the government and Captain wasn't.
The bad guy was getting his vengeance by watching the Avengers fall apart. I wish that they would have expanded on this more instead of moving around the concept until the end.
A new character was introduced in this installment.. the Black Panther, and a appearance of a young Spider Man.
If you are a die hard Avenger fan you will probably like this move. I wish we had waited until it went to the cheap movies or Netflix. I am not sure it was worth the $8.00 a ticket to see it. Hopefully the next one will be better.
