Captain America: Civil War is a 2016 superhero film. It is what you'd expect, so if you like that kind of thing you'll like this. I like that kind of thing.
trailer:
The NYT calls it a "very crowded, reasonably enjoyable installment in the Avengers cycle" and says, "“Captain America: Civil War” does not in any way transcend the conventions of the genre. On the contrary: It succeeds because it doesn’t really try." Slash Film says it's "a sharp, astounding, action-packed summer blockbuster that’s the kind of superhero movie you’ve been waiting to see your whole life."
Roger Ebert's site gives it 3 out of 4 stars and says, "this is a satisfying film that takes its characters but not itself seriously, and mixes sequences of wonder, visual wit and pathos in with the world-building and dramatic housekeeping." Rotten Tomatoes has a critics score of 90%.

Sounds like you and the critics liked this. I like this type of movie, too. I'll wait till it comes out on tv, though.
ReplyDeleteWe picked up a dvd. We can usually find sales or used copies fairly inexpensively. The commercials are what we don't like on tv :(
DeleteI like that kind of movie too. I've seen it and although I liked the first Captain America better, I do like the dark side to this one. Glad you reviews it. :) Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteI'm not a big fan of the good-guys-fight-each-other plots, but this was fine. I liked the first one better, too :)
DeleteIt's on Netflix streaming right now, so I can have a little escape movie today. Thanks! :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you like it!
