Rating: PG-13 Directors: Joe and Anthony Russo WOW!!! There is so much to unpack from this movie. Ant-Man was technically the next movie in the chronological order of the series, but my dad absolutely did not want to watch that, so we went straight into Captain America: Civil War, which we were both very excited for (don't worry though because I went back and watched Ant-Man). Let’s just say we were not disappointed. First of all it was low-key another Avengers movie because of all the other Avengers that were brought into it, but instead of working together they go against each other which was really cool. Since I didn't watch Ant-Man before this there were 3 new characters introduced: Ant-Man, Spider-Man and Black Panther. I obviously knew who they were as characters, but I haven’t seen them in the movies yet and the fact that they were brought in as members to fight the other team members was cool. I feel like the fight between Iron Man and Captain America didn't actually start until a little over halfway, but I didn’t mind that because the build up for Bucky was necessary. They needed to tell a little more about him in order for him to be seen as a good guy and fight on Captain America’s side. Originally when seeing the movie poster and who was on each side, I was completely shocked until I watched the movie and then understood. Originally I thought Natasha should be with Captain America and Hawkeye would have been with Iron Man. Technically Natasha helped Captain America and Bucky out by stopping Black Panther, but was always going to try and get him to sign the Sokovia Accords. I guess it was good for Captain America to have one of his closest friends go against him in order to try and get him to sign but I understand why he didn't. It was important for him to help Bucky get through being brainwashed and getting back to normal. I think Black Panther is cool and I haven’t even watched his movie yet and I would also agree about Spider-Man. I think it's cool they were brought in to fight and help Iron Man’s side to show how strong Captain America’s side was and that it was necessary to bring in more help. I’m definitely looking forward to continuing the series and watching their own movies very soon. One thing that made me upset when watching this movie was how Vision was acting. I know most of it was under Tony Stark's orders but if he even slightly cared about Wanda, he wouldn't make her feel so controlled. Vision just always got in the way in this movie and I kind of felt bad for Wanda because both sides were controlling her a little. Either way she did what she needed to in order to help out and overall I did really enjoy this movie. One of my favorites in the timeline so far. Trailer: youtu.be/FkTybqcX-Yo
