MIA are Thor and Hulk but including them the filmmakers could defend not calling this Avengers: Civil War I guess… Those two, however, will appear in Thor: Ragnarok. Cap’s team, who to me is the weaker of the two, Winter Soldier, Scarlet Witch, Falcon, Hawkeye and their own special guest star, Ant-Man (PAUL RUDD), who, like Spider-Man, doesn’t has a dog in the hunt. Of course the truth is, it’s a conspiracy perpetrated by a man named Zemo (DANIEL BRUHL) who set into motion a way to defeat the Avengers… all from within as his actions pit Iron Man and his crew which includes Black Widow, Vision, Black Panther, War Machine (DON CHEADLE) and special guest star, Spider-Man (TOM HOLLAND), who gets introduced before his MCU debut, Spider-Man: Homecoming. As Cap takes them down, Bucky escapes out a window only to be confronted by Black Panther who, of course, is T’Challa wanting vengeance on the man he (and the world) believes killed his father. When Bucky appears, they exchange some words but not before an evading militarized police converge. Hoping to get to him before the others, Captain America, with info provided by Sharon Carter (EMILY VANCAMP), granddaughter to the recently departed Peggy Carter, tracks Bucky to a rundown apartment. Footage from a security camera places blame on the attack on Bucky (SEBASTIAN STAN) and there’s an APB to take him down. Two weeks later, at a council meeting to ratify the accord, we meet Prince T’Challa (CHADWICK BOSEMAN) and get to know just enough about him before an explosion erupts killing his father. Clinton Barton/Hawkeye (JEREMY RENNER), Sam and Steve choose not to while Tony, Natasha and Vision (PAUL BETTANY) believe in the need for it while Wanda feels mixed. Choosing to sign, Tony Stark (ROBERT DOWNEY JR.) wants to save the Avengers while Steve sees what could go wrong. There are only two options: sign the Accord or retire. Secretary of State Thaddeus Ross (WILLIAM HURT) has been brought to HQ to present the Sokovia Accords, a document that would have the Avengers operate under the jurisdiction a United Nations council and will only be allowed to intervene on approval of this panel, this due to the collateral damage ranging from Lagos to New York City. Cap and company, after a lengthy chase and fight through the streets, apparently stop him but Crossbones has one last trick, a built-in explosive which he sets off but not before Scarlet Witch manages to contain, throwing him into the air away from innocents but loses containment and the bomb goes off into a building where (IIRC) 11 people are killed.īack Stateside, Scarlet Witch is dealing with the psychological ramifications while the Avengers are faced with a political one. Captain America and his team - Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow (SCARLETT JOHANSSON), Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch (ELIZABETH OLSEN) and Sam Wilson/Falcon (ANTHONY MACKIE) - are tracking terrorist known as Crossbones (FRANK GRILLO) who has come to Lagos to bust in and steal a bio-weapon. Steve Rogers’s (CHRIS EVANS) old buddy Bucky Barnes is alive but now an agent working for Hydra and in Civil War’s opening, taking place in 1991, Barnes aka the Winter Soldier has caused a car crash and steals super soldier serum in the trunk.įlash forward to present day Lagos, Nigeria.
The story, and reason it’s not an Avengers movie, is a direct follow-up to Captain America: Winter’s Soldier.
#CAPTAIN AMERICA CIVIL WAR 2 DISC REVIEW MOVIE#
While I didn’t think it was one of Marvel’s best, it’s still one heck of a movie with great twists and the fight sequences were well choreographed. Civil War came in with just about equal hype but delivered on both fronts.
Round 2 of the battle of the superheroes was Captain America: Civil War and although I personally liked Batman v Superman (the Ultimate Edition in particular), there’s no doubt it got trashed by both the critics and general audiences.
