Captain America - Civil War Review

calling a clash among the dozen or so on of them 'civil war' is just the kind of preposterousness the Avengers claim to be disowning this time. Still,  in a film that makes a half-decent efforts of exploring the boundaries super-heroes must operate within, hours where things blow up or come raining down.

And yet, you must ask, for someone should, why are they fighting exactly? resting on a premise only a little less flimsy than the disastrous batman VS superman, Civil War does talk about the collateral damage caused by super-fights and the guilt the avengers bear for it. However, why the disagreement over whether this means that   avengers must bind themselves to the United Nations (this argument led by Iron man) or if that would entail giving up their autonomy (as  debated by Captain America ) can't be solved without more collateral damage is never explained. Leaving you with the suspension that pitting them against each other is the whole idea of civil war, and the villainy, even if played by a nicely subtle Bruhl, a disposable sub-plot.

Put that aside, and Civil war is as Competent  a montage as Marvel has been mounting lately, without breaking any new grounds.
