Best Marvel installment so far

Rating: 9/10 (8 May 2016)

After the lukewarm Batman v Superman, Marvel restores hope for the superhero movie genre with Civil War. And boy, what an emotional ride this is.
We start out in Lagos, Nigeria with the New Avengers battling a group of Hydra soldiers led by Crossbones. Right off the bat we get outstanding action sequences featuring Cap, Falcon, Wanda, and Widow. As crossbones blows himself up, Wanda contains the blast and throws him in the air, however the explosion hits a highly populated building resulting in many casualties. Because of this, the UN comes up with the Sokovia Accords and everyone takes sides. Meanwhile, the villainous Helmut Zemo pulls strings on the avengers to tear them apart even more.
The story is gripping and cohesive. There are few plot holes. The only way to find a bad aspect of this film is to really nitpick to find little flaws. All characters are well written and make this film something BvS wasn't: Fun. Marvel brings in comedy, action, drama, and a truckload of emotion. The dynamic between Bucky and Cap is incredibly well-done and you really feel for the characters. Despite there being so many characters on the roster, we still get a coherent story with appropriate screen time for everyone.
Black Panther is awesome. He was introduced perfectly into the MCU after Zemo killed his father. Chadwick Boseman's acting talent brings the character justice on the big screen. Every time he shows up it's like "oh crap this guy's back." He is such a powerful and graceful character and has a mystery element that makes me super excited for his solo film.
SPIDER-MAN! Tom Holland delivers us a flawless incarnation of the web-slinger the way he should be. Young, nerdy, witty, these are all the things that Spider-man is and weren't completely attributed in the previous spider-man films. Spider-man steals the show every time he's on screen and gives off such a Spectacular Spider-man feel with his incredible humor. His powers are shown very well during the amazing airport scene. I am SO excited for his solo outing next year and think this character is the most perfect spider-man we've ever had.
Ban Zemo was just another boring marvel villain. It would've been cool to see him like he was in the comics with his mask and vibranium sword but Marvel just gave us a normal man with a cliché backstory. However, his motives are clear and Daniel Bruhl delivers a fantastic performance, making him superior to Eisenberg's Lex Luthor.
Civi War takes the cake and satisfies the whole that BvS left. Marvel really knows how to handle their source material and does so in a highly entertaining masterpiece.
