Marvel’s Captain America Civil War is the big release this Friday. With Anthony and Joe Russo back behind the camera and Tony Stark and Steve Rogers battling it out in front of it, Captain America Civil War has been called, in Robert Downey Jr’s words: “The Godfather of superhero movies.” Will this showdown between Iron Man and Captain America be worth your time? Here’s our review of the latest superhero flick in town. In 1991, the brainwashed-by-Hydra Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) kills a motorist and steals super-soldier serum from him. Captain America: Civil War takes place a year after Avengers: Age of Ultron. Tony Stark/Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr) is guilt-ridden because he had created Ultron. The government wants the Avengers on a leash after Scarlet Witch/Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) accidentally blows off a building trying to stop Rumlow (Frank Grillo) from stealing a biological weapon. Several Wakandan relief workers are killed in this accident, and Stark seconds the government’s decision, his Ultron-guilt working overtime. Steve Rogers/Captain America (Chris Evans), on the other hand, can’t bring himself to follow the government’s diktat. Soon, the Avengers find themselves rallying behind the warring Iron Man and Captain America. Back on the directors’ chair, Anthony and Joe Russo have done a thoroughly impressive job with Captain America: Civil War. The brothers, aided by screenplay writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, succeed in letting people lose themselves in the Avengers’ world yet again. The storyline is racy and keeps you on the edge of your seat for most part of the film. The ensemble cast does their part to keep the viewer glued to the screen. Led by Robert Downey Jr’s Tony Stark and Chris Evans’s Steve Rogers, the rest of the Avengers are a delight to watch. Chadwick Boseman is a welcome addition to the universe as Black Panther. Scarlett Johansson and Sebastian Stan stand out among the rest of the cast. Like in all Marvel films, the CGI is the real hero in Captain America: Civil War too. Jeffrey Ford and Matthew Schmidt are pretty accomplished with their scissors. The film doesn’t feel overstretched, the pace doesn’t drop even for once. Trent Opaloch’s camera captures Stark’s lavish mansion with equal ease as it does the frozen Siberia. Captain America: Civil War is among Marvel’s best offerings so far. The film deals with many plotlines and while that does work against it at certain points, more often than not, Civil War is hugely satisfying. The fight scenes are stunning and really well done. The big showdown between two of the biggest superheroes is all that many people have wanted to see for a long time. Watch Captain America: Civil War for everything. The trip to the theatres will not be in vain this time. The review originally appeared in the India Today newspaper.
