Captain America: Civil War

But both of your mothers are named Martha!..

Sorry, wrong movie =/




We have been waiting for this for a long time haven't we? To be honest I was dreadful first after I heard that they were going to make Civil War into a movie because Age of Ultron...

Civil War is an amazing comic with an amazing story and as it is so easy to turn it into an amazing movie it is also very, very easy to fuck it up. Thank got in the hands of more than competent hands of the Russo Brothers, it is safe so say that Captain America: Civil War is my favourite MCU movie so far.




Now, Captain America is far from being my favourite Avenger and I was extra worried of Civil War becoming a Captain America movie rather than making it like an Avengers movie or something. Just felt too specific and I wasn't sure what they were going to do with it. However, not only giving equal and enough focus to every and each character, they even made Cap into a somewhat lovable persona in my eyes.

Don't get me wrong I'm team Iron Man forever! (In the movie; in the comics team Cap was more appealing to me. They've got the Punisher for God's sake!) But knowing the origin of the story, it's easy to say that they did justice to both sides ideology and point of view.




Without giving out too many spoilers I want to talk about a few things that I am so excited about in the story. First of all is of course our brand new Spider-Man.

Oh had I have my doubts!

I did get extremely excited, almost at the edge of having a heart attack, just like millions when Spiderman made his debut in the second trailer? third? There were just so many of them, I lost count. But it was really great. Yet, right after his big debut a huge worry started to haunt us: Trailers are made to make the movies look good. So what if that "Hi everyone!" was the only exciting moment we will get from our itty-bitty Spider-Man?




Thankfully, Tom Holland made an amazing Spider-Man (did you see what I did there?). I understand there is some controversy on Holland being too young comparing to the rest of the cast. But Spider-Man is supposed to be young. He is supposed to be in college age. He is supposed to be significantly younger than rest of the mighty Avengers. So SHUT UP! Ehmm. Sorry.

Another brand new addition to the team was the Black Panther. Chadwick Boseman gained my approval as the king of Wakanda. Wasn't he the most badass cat you've ever seen?




Nonetheless I have to say that I'm still a little upset him being separated from his lovely wife. (For those of you don't know the origin of T'Challa a.k.a. the Black Panther, he is married to the X-Men's very own white haired queen, Storm). Let's hope for the better days with no copyright restrictions, separating the people in love.




Speaking of love... If you've seen the movie you may have noticed a little thingy going on between Scarlet Witch and Vision. In the comics they are married; they were married... It's complicated. But at least both of their rights belong to the same company right? So that's good.




To tell the truth, despite hating the guts out of Captain America: The First Avenger, I really, really liked the Winter Soldier and I would like to give the credit to the Russo Brothers. Of course they did win my heart years ago with Community, and seeing with both of these Cap movies that it is not a coincidence.

I can say with my mind in peace, that this is the best Marvel Cinematic Universe movie I have seen so far.

Anthony and Joe Russo, I raise my glass and tip my hat to you sirs. We expect great things from you with the upcoming Avengers movies.




(By the way did you know that the next Avengers movies are going to have a change of name and be something different than Infinity Wars? Now you do!)

Let me know which team are you on in the comments? Team Cap or Team Ironman? Also if there is anything you want me to wright about, I'm always open to suggestions.

Thank you for reading my humble opinion.
