CAPTAIN America: CIVIL WAR (2016) ***1/2 Chris Evans, Robert Downey, Jr. , Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Don Cheadle, Jeremy Renner, Chadwick Boseman, Paul Bettany, Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Rudd, Emily VanCamp, Tom Holland, Daniel Bruhl, William Hurt, Martin Freeman, Marisa Tomei, Frank Grillo, John Slattery, Hope Davis, Alfre Woodard, John Kani. Excellent chapter in the never-ending Marvel Universe's patriotic hero (Evans evoking some true blue emotions) facing a crossroads moment - pledging allegiance to global watchdog supervision or rely on gut-instinct of standing up for the little guy overall, resulting in a fall-out with fellow bud and Avenger Tony Stark AKA Iron Man (Downey) who wants to do the right thing in spite of his friendships with fellow team members getting in the way. End result is a free for all battle of the wills and some genuine thrilling moments thanks largely to the directing team of siblings Anthony and Joe Russo with a dense screenplay by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely relying on more kinetic fast-and-furious action sequences and less on light-hearted humorous ones (which is the Achilles heel here folks) in spite of some warm welcome comic relief in Rudd's Ant Man and newcomer Holland as Spider-Man (don't worry he's getting a reboot too) By all means see it in IMAX 3-D to get the full effect of the amazing visuals and aforementioned battle royales! Because where else can you see Ant Man taking on giantess Black Widow? :D
