Since this is technically still a Captain America movie, the best way to keep track of Civil War is to first review Captain America: The First Avenger, The Avengers, Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Avengers: Age of Ultron. Comparisons with the critically disdained (but financially successful) Warner Bros. film “Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice” are inevitable.
In the movie, Avengers will be divided in two teams – Team Captain America and Team Iron Man – over the government’s bid to take control of the Avengers.
Captain America: Civil War will kick off the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Phase Three, which will be followed by Doctor Strange on November 4, 2016). The comic relief brought from Spidey, aided by Ant-Man’s equally humorous personality makes for more fun and laughs during this Civil War fight than any previous Marvel films.
Almost every other theater in Milwaukee will be showing “Captain America: Civil War” starting Thursday night.
This starts the friction that only grows when The Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan) is accused of setting off a bomb at the meeting of the declaration of the accord.
Why do Marvel movies win over critics so much easier than their DC counterparts?
If the new movie makes anyone curious about the comics, check out the first “Civil War” series, collected in trade paperback form and available at comic shops everywhere. All of the movies featuring Captain America are very good or great (yes, I’ll even go to bat for the ever-divisive Age of Ultron), so this sounds like a far easier sit.
