Captain America: Civil War












CHASE ***1/2
Just when I thought I was done with superhero movies, in came "Captain America: Civil War" to remind me that they can still be amazing when done right.  As the title suggests, this is a civil war within the Avengers as we see two opposing forces, Captain America and Iron Man, struggle with the question of whether or not their super team needs to be kept in check by governmental powers.  This is an exhilarating ride and, in my opinion, Marvel's best movie they've made up to this point.  The action sequences are very exciting and I love the story behind it.  It felt like each of the many characters were fleshed out in such a way that we as an audience are emotionally invested in all of them, and understand their perspective and motivations.  While it does have it's fair share of fun elements, what really blew me away was the emotional component of the film, which is the strongest I've seen in a superhero film in quite some time.  While the story is engaging, it does feel like there might just be a little too much going on at times but overall, this is the best comic-book film since "The Dark Knight."  A must see.

BRYCE ***1/2
