Synopsis: Political
pressure mounts to install a system of accountability when the actions of the
Avengers lead to collateral damage. The new status quo deeply divides members
of the team. Captain America (Chris Evans) believes superheroes should remain
free to defend humanity without government interference. Iron Man (Robert
Downey Jr.) sharply disagrees and supports oversight. As the debate escalates
into an all-out feud, Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) and Hawkeye (Jeremy
Renner) must pick a side.
Marvel continues doing a great job!
Went to see Captain America with pretty high expectations
and it most definitely does not disappoint! The balance between exposition and
action was just right and the story between the characters simply worked. New
characters were introduced and they were done just the right way. I do agree
with some people that they could have done the trailer without adding
Spiderman, I would rather preferred if he suddenly showed but when he was
introduced, he was good! I definitely loved the way they introduced Black Panther
as well and actually made me hyped for their own movies when they come out.
They have also finally managed to find a good Spiderman! (Hopefully, his own movie
will be just as good!) I would have liked to have seen more of some of the
other characters, but I guess this was a Captain America movie after all. In
terms of the main plot and the ‘bad guys’ it was very well presented. (I’m not
going to use the word villains because I am #TeamIronMan, plus there weren’t any
villains really) They began by making the world hate them, moved on to
splitting the team against each other by making them sign this contract, they
are fine at first but then someone does an illegal thing which leads to more
illegal things and then the two sides start fighting, turns out it was the main
‘bad guy’ who had started everything just to watch everyone fight each other,
but in reality he really wasn’t a bad person, he just wanted revenge. Now that
that’s out of the way, it was interesting to see the way they made the fights
because at first you have a big fight scene with everyone, but it is all
building up to the final fight scene with the two main characters: Captain
America and Iron Man, and it most definitely does not lose its hype throughout
the movie.
As you can probably tell, I really liked the movie, however,
if I do have to say something negative about it, then I would probably say I
didn’t like the whole relationship between Captain America and Sharon Carter. I
found that unnecessary and to be honest quite forced. Especially given that
Agent Carter had died a couple of scenes before. But other than that, it was
really good! (And yay for Ant-man!)
If you haven’t already seen the movie, grab a ticket and go
see it. It’s definitely worth it!
