Captain America Civil War.

Rating: 7/10 (17 May 2016)

I saw Captain America Civil War in 3d this afternoon. There is a lot to take in while it was going on. Some things I thought I didn't understand during the movie, I was able to put together afterwards. It's almost like a political thriller. Being a follower of movies in general, I could get them referencing The Avengers and I was thinking, 'The Avengers must've been one hell of a movie'. That, and Age of Ultron. Being a newbie in the Marvel movies is somewhat challenging because there's so much history between the characters. Of course, it goes far beyond the movies; one would need to completely follow the stories in order to get as much as possible from it.
It feels like there are two stories going on here: one is that The Avengers team are to sign the "Sokovia Accords" so as to lessen the amount of destruction of city streets and public property, which was probably what happened in the previous movies. It would be therefore to not place innocent civilians in danger. Most of them are in agreement with, except Steve Rogers aka Captain America. Afterwards, the South side of a building in Vienna gets destroyed where the signing of the Accords are to take place, which is how the character of Black Panther is introduced. To him it's personal because that's how he lost his father.
Then, the other story is of Helmut Zemo, who masquerades as a doctor so he could steal a formula used for creating Winter Soldiers as what happened to Bucky Barnes. It's to extend HYDRA's army of killing machines (this goes back to Captain America: The First Avenger). Later on, much later on, Tony Stark finds out it was his parents who were murdered on the side of a road one night by The Winter Soldier, therefore making it more of a personal battle. Then there's Captain America with his loyalty to Bucky. It is a very good movie. I like how a lot of the characters tie in with one another. I like the addition of Black Panther and Spider-Man.
My one problem with this movie is that it's LONG. Much of it goes by at a nice pace but getting towards the end, I was wondering when it was going to finish and why is that many of these blockbuster movies need to be 2 and a half hours long. Anyway, my overall rating is B+.
