Captain America: Civil War

Team Cap or Team Iron Man?

The year of the versus starts with our two favourite heroes of the Marvel franchises.  The guys that started the whole thing off (if you ignore the Hulk attempts).  The wit and banter of the brains in the suit against the charm and strength of the man behind the shield.

There is no other way of me saying this other than Civil War is the best of the Marvel films to date, in fact, it is the best Super Hero genre film in my opinion as well.  With more Avengers than The Avengers and introductions of new characters such as Black Panther and of course everyone's favourite neighbourhood spider, I was entertained from start to glorious finish.

Engaging story line with reasons to flip-flop to either side of the argument, I struggled to choose an over all winning side as both parties had feasible pro's and con's.  Throw in the collection of awesome side characters whose choices are questionable as well and the inevitable showdown is just delightful

When I saw the original trailer, I was impressed with the airport clips, what I was not expecting was the scale of this showdown.  A good 20 minutes of a visual spectacular, colourful, engaging, hilarious and threatening, just excellent in execution.

It didn't seem to slow down for the full duration and I wanted to know so much more about the new characters, thankfully I will not have to wait much longer for these films, and I am really excited about them. The Marvel Franchise is really strong at the moment (with exceptions of a few hiccups), and the future of the product is really promising with the introduction of the new crowd.  With trepidation towards another webslinging outing and another origin story, it looks like Spidy is in the right hands now, but only time will tell.

Very entertaining, exciting and enjoyable, this is a must for comic book film fans and pretty much anyone else.  Go and enjoy
