First of all, this is a non-spoiler review, so don't worry if you haven't watched this movie yet. So let's dive into it!
Civil War is a direct sequel from the The Winter Soldier. This movie focuses on how the government and the whole world started to think that Superheroes' action must be under control/supervision. And that makes the Avengers split into two sides, the ones who support the act and the ones who denies the act. Tony Stark thought that "yes it's true, we should be under supervision and control." and Steve Rogers thought "If we are under control, how far they will control us?" and both sides made some good points from both perspectives as well which I won't spoil you what it is. It's a two clashing ideologies and the other Avengers crew must choose which sides are they on.
What I love from this movie is how they build up the conflict from the start to finish. This movie is divided into two parts, Captain America's sequel movie and Civil War. Cap's relationship with Bucky (The Winter Soldier) is carrying the main conflict on this movie. Bucky's inclusion doesn't feel forced at all. And for the Civil War part, it's not just bunch of superheroes suiting up for the fight fest (unlike Showa vs Heisei Rider lol). The Civil War dilemma carries on to the movie. And when they fight each other, you can feel the tension, the reason to fight, and of course the dilemma of (almost) each Avengers members. And in the climax, it feels emotional.
This movie successfully explaining to us how two sides of a problems works. It builds up tensions, characters, and depth perspectives of both sides. Honestly, when I read the comics, I was in Captain America's side (because I don't really like Iron Man in the comics and Spidey finally ends up with Cap, And me as a Spider-man fanboy ends up choose team Cap's side lol). But when I watched this movie, I can't really decide which side that I should root for since both sides has their points on their arguments. It feels like watching Gundam, Each sides has their black and white points. It feels like we are stuck in the grey area. And you will feel like "Oh yeah, I do see two sides of the conflict" and you will feel stuck in the dilemma just like the characters in the movie. Great job movie!
And when they fight it is really enjoyable and entertaining to watch! They know when they have to be funny and serious.
So let's talk about Black Panther, I'm not really familiar with his character, but I know that he is kinda like the Batman of Marvel universe (By Batman, I mean, he is a rich kid, who dresses black to fight crime when his parents are dead, yeap pretty much the same background) And this movie have strong and solid introduction of him and it makes me excited to watch his stand alone movie next year!
And Spider-man! Oh My God! We should talk about this guy! First of all, before I watched this movie, I think Andrew Garfield made a good portrayal of Spider-man before. But he didn't really nailed the Peter Parker side and the movie is not so good. And Tom Holland nailed both of Peter Parker and Spider-man character in this movie! I'm super-super-super excited to see his stand alone movie next year! XD
The villain in this movie.... welp, this is a strange one, I can't see the villain as a real villain here since the main conflict is the ideologies of both sides. All the villain is do is just giving them a gentle push to fight. But he didn't really add something new to the conflict. I think the hero of this movie is the villain of this movie too. The antagonist of this movie is the opposite sides and the protagonist of this movie is the side that you are on. Which depends on how you, the viewers, sees it.
In the end, it's not a perfect movie, but it's really entertaining to watch! And probably my favorite marvel movie of all time. Things that I found lacking in this movie is the score, it doesn't really stand out. At first, the action scenes has too much shaky cam and it feels jarring. But fortunately it gets better throughout the movie.
So, should you watch this movie? Yes, definitely watch it!
That's all I have to say about this movie guys, I hope you find this review useful!
