Finished watching Captain America: Civil War, directed by Anthony Russo and Joe Russo, and staring Sebastian Stan, Chris Evans, Frank Grillo, Elizabeth Olsen, Tom Holland and Chadwick Boseman. The film opens up to a mission that The Winter Solider (Sebastian Stan) was on in 1991. The film than flashes forward to the present where the Avengers led by Captain America (Chris Evans) are tracking down Crossbones (Frank Grillo) in Lagos. Only for things to go horribly wrong when Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) fails to get a bomb away in time causing it to go off on the side of a building were a group of humanitarian workers were located. This leads to the United Nations drawing up the Slokovia Accords that if passed would mean the Avengers would be overseen by a governing body. Later during the UN conference where the Accords are to be passed a bomb goes off with the culprit looking like Bucky. Captain America takes upon himself to bring his friend in leading to a divide in the Avengers in how to approach the situation. Overall this was an amazing film as it brings together the culmination of multiple plot points from previous Marvel Cinematic Universe films extremely well while also setting up the future of the franchise by introducing the new characters of Spider-Man (Tom Holland) and Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman) into this world very organically. The fighting choreography within the film is great as well as the multiple action scenes throughout which are stunning to watch and immensely breathtaking in most places thanks to the high amount of tension that fills each scene. There's a great amount of comedy throughout the film which always hits the mark as most of the comedic moments come the fact that the audience has spent enough time with each character over the last few films that has allowed the characters to make a relationship with one another. Additionally the films story is great as there are many plot twists that are unexpected which helps to give some characters some amazing development and making others very captivating with how events transpire. 9.5/10.
