Two iconic superheroes turning against each other due to misunderstanding and because of it forgetting the bigger enemy. Sounds like the other superhero movie released exactly a month ago but that's just the only similarity. Captain America: Civil War the third in the series of the all-American superhero in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the first with an all-star cast that can easily be mistaken as an Avengers movie.
The film starts where the Age of Ultron ends and the new Avengers still headed by Iron Man/Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) question their roles in world affairs when the U.S. Secretary of State (William Hurt channeling Kevin Kline) proposed a treaty that would involve the participation of the United Nations in determining if the superheroes can help fight evil in different countries around the globe. On the other hand, Captain America/Steve Rodgers (Chris Evans) is opposed to it as his best friend turned assasin Bucky Barnes/The Winter Soldier will be the first target.
Except for Thor and The Hulk, most of the characters from the last Avengers film are back as they pick their side between Iron Man and Captain America. Ant-Man/Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) joins in the fun and making its character debut is Black Panther played by Chadwick Boseman as well as the new Spider-Man played by Tom Holland. Peter Parker/Spidey brightens up each frame he is in and a big thanks should be given to Sony Pictures for allowing the character which is under contract from the Studio to appear in the Marvel/Disney production.
Captain America: Civil War is the darkest and most mature of the Marvel/Disney films but it does not forget to have fun. Looking forward to the Infinity War series that this film was set up for.
