As part of what is now a long ongoing superhero saga, Captain America: Civil War continues a little after the events of AntMan; that said, since it involves a lot of the other characters, in a sense it feels like a more complete follow-up to the Avengers: Age of Ultron. With the exception of Thor and Hulk, who are MIA as expected, the rest of the gang is back, now with additional entrants. It's fair to say that Marvel sticks to its usual formula, and successfully gives the audiences what they've come to expect and want. Though not overly complex, the plot remains interesting, and gripping for its long 2-and-a-half-hour runtime. The action sequences are really nice, especially the opening battle, which is quick, yet with a solid sense of impact. Similarly, there are other memorable fights through the course of the movie; the sequence wherein Captain America is holding down the helicopter which is attempting to take off being one of them. If you're wondering what separates this from the Avengers movies, I guess the crazy super villains with global domination are saved for epic Avenger grade plots, while lesser villains, with twisted Hydra-esque sinister plots are more reminiscent of Captain America movies. Staying true to its title, there is a political aspect to the movie, which forms the crux of the struggle. It also succeeds Captain America: The Winter Soldier well, bridging several pieces of the long developing plot, while also connecting the characters. I saw this one in the theatre and enjoyed the crisp bright digital transfer. Sound was nice, fitting the action perfectly; the score was triumphant and grand in Marvel movie style.
My Recommendation: Watch It + (The final Captain America titled movie in the Marvel lineup)
