Lives Up To Expectations While Setting New Ones

Rating: 10/10 (13 May 2016)

With fourteen box office successes to work off of, Marvel brings in their entire roster of superheroes (minus a few notable green and godly ones) to battle it out. Unlike DC's Batman v Superman, both sides have reasons, instead of just intentions, to fight, all heroes were highlighted just enough to be enjoyed, and newcomers (the fantastic T'Challa and AMAZING, if I may, Spider-Man) are balanced out just enough to be spotlighted, while still setting hopes high for standalone films. Besides a plethora of heroes to experiment with, this film also offers a brand new villain, Zemo. Quite different from his inspiration Baron Von Zemo from the comics, this villain is the first villain in the MCU (besides the never-ending god of mischief) to have survived his first film.
Altogether, this film is enjoyable to anyone who stumbles upon it, but seeing all Avengers- storyline films will help some plot holes.
I haven't scratched the surface of this film's excellence, but it sure is one you won't want to miss.
