Thrills a Minute for Captain America: Civil War





It’s been said that too much power is a dangerous thing. So what happens when a group of superheroes and supervillains get told they have crossed the line and must cease and desist or suffer the consequences? The answers are found in Captain America: Civil War.

It was a wonderful surprise to get treated to this fantastic 3-D movie.  I thoroughly enjoy Marvel comics and the characters that bring charm, adventure and daring to printed pages and the Big Screen.  I purposely postponed watching trailers of the film until after I saw the movie. Check out this trailer to get a taste of the fast-paced action of Civil War.

Directors Joe Russo and Anthony Russo deserve very good award under the sun for exceeding the successful completion of a film filled with strong characters and allowing them to keep their individual identities while contributing to the greater good of the movie.

I think Tom Holland plays an incredible Spider-Man. He added fun to the part as he had fun using his
Spidey powers to try and keep order. Robert Downey Jr. lent credibility to Iron Man’s position on superhero control, while Chris Evans gave Captain America a completely believable reason for analyzing the situation before agreeing to governmental control.

There’s no need to review prior films before watching this movie. It is an everyperson display of action, perfected by 3D.

What's your take on the movie?

  1. We're so excited to see this movie. We're going to wait for another week. That way the theater will be more empty and we won't have to deal with so many cell phones and people walking in front of the screen.

    1. That is a good idea. We were lucky to be part of a small crowd, as the movie was being shown about 15 - 30 minutes apart in several of the film rooms. I know I will watch it again before the month is out - it's that good.
