bit dull

Rating: 3/10 (30 August 2016)

Starts of with our heroes blowing the crap out of poor old Lagos which is further damaged when the American Secretary of State can't even pronounce its name properly.
These Avengers are out of control so the world comes up with an Accord from a fictitious country which Americans can pronounce properly to reign in these idiots.
Iron Man sides with the government whilst the Cap does not sparking off lots of really fake tension between them all. But as the accord is getting signed Caps mate Bucky blows Vienna up.
Tony Stark thinks that the Avengers need to be controlled as they are doing a lot of damage and killing hundreds when they make a movie. This has to stop as some woman showed him a photo of her American son and he feels guilty. Of the thousands of Sokovians who died (or would of if it was a real place) he could not care less.
Captain discovers a dastardly and also ridiculous plot to revive an army (well 5) super Winter Soldiers.
So he and Iron Man are at odds on what to do so they meet to 'discuss' things at a German airport and a bit of fighting breaks out with them and Ant Man and Spiderman and some other men including two woMen and they do their usual picking up jumbo jets and hitting each other with buildings. The airport was supposedly evacuated but they pay no heed that a cleaner might have been having a nap in the control tower or someone might have gone back for the cat and just blow it to oblivion just to show how cool their weapons are.
Billions of euros of damage later the Cap and Bucky fly off to prove his mates innocence.
Suddenly we are in Siberia where the puppet master is revealed and his dastardly plot unfolds. Not to let loose an army (5 of them) of super villains but to cause a civil war (hence the title) between the Avengers. More fighting an blowing up things and we are all set up for the next instalment.
I used to love all the characters back in the 60s but they are pretty dull now and have not one iota of realism regarding the relationship with themselves. They speak in one liners and have no personality. Even the end fight was totally contrived by a ridiculous video tape the Puppet master could never have found in a million years.
Everything happens to set up the next action sequence which are pretty dull themselves. We have seen it all before. Hulk had a spat with Thor ad infinitum. Agents Of Shield is a very likable series. The main reason for that is it has a bit of heart and does not involve this clueless crew of super clowns.
Maybe the next Thor movie will end this cycle of dross. Blowing things up may work for the uninformed American audience but I like a bit of a script. I gave it 3 for the explosions.
