A School Yard fight of SuperHeroes
[contains spoilers]

Captain America: Civil War Movie Review :

Captain America: School Yard Brawl Is a more appropriate title for this film. Don’t get me wrong, I loved the film, but this reminded me of my school days when in the break we used to play aba-dhupi, aka standing in a circle and throwing a ping pong ball at each other. For those 10 minutes, everyone was my enemy, but the moment the break got over, we were all friends. That, in short describes this film.

Plot summary is... Captain America and Iron Man have a fall out over the Sokovia accords and this movie deals with that conflict.

The action is awesome, the direction is top notch, but the stakes are at an all-time low. Unlike Avengers 1 & 2, Winter Soldier, there is no huge change, no fall of hydra or city wide battle. This is a fun romp of seeing your favourite superheroes fight it out in battle royale style.

Is it as pointless as Batman V Superman? not quite, for one thing, the movie doesn’t take itself seriously at all, there are so many self-referential jokes inside it, poking fun at Cap’s shield’s physics is one of them.

Plus the dialogs are hilarious, the comedy moments even during the fighting is laugh out loud and everything said is insanely quotable ! this movie is a walking talking meme generator !

Add to that characters we already know and we love, it all combines into a winning mixture of fun, humour and action.

Scriptwise, both the sides are equally balanced, with no side coming out as right or wrong, its OK to support either side. This movie is also more of sequel to Age of Ultron as compared to Winter Soldier. There is no point seeing this without seeing Avengers 2 and Winter Soldier.

Take this seriously we cant.

Spoilers :

Character wise, Spider-man is definately an stand out, outshining the more sombre and quite Black Panther. Everyone else seems to fit into their roles pretty well. Vision is turning out to be quite an interesting character. No one character went totally wrong in this and everyone does an amazing job. I am now very excited about the new Spider-Man Homecoming movie ! this smart quips and trash talking is so well done in this version.

Rating: 8/10 . It’s fun, its full of action, it’s cool, but it has no weight to it at all. Enjoyable over all.

But how would some one sign an accord without revealing his/her identity? They have to 'sign' using their real name and obviously unmasked( its them and not some comic con cosplayer).

the government / UN can keep secrets, Re-dact documents, there have been many real life spies, we never came to know of them. they will hardly go to the media and say ' this person is on our avengers team ! '
