Sebastian Stan once again finds the humanity in his cold warrior killer, and even gets a rival to Cap's affection in Anthony Mackie's Falcon. As much as Cap and Tony's relationship is put to the test here, it's ultimately Cap's bromantic devotion to Bucky that trumps all else. That’s not at all to say superhero movies can’t or shouldn't address heroes' moral culpability or echo real world concerns, but continually lecturing to and piling the guilt onto the protagonists (and, by extension, the viewer) for superheroes doing what superheroes do is growing rather tedious and, frankly, taking the fun out of the genre. Between Civil War and Batman v Superman, hopefully both filmmakers and audiences have fulfilled their need to address the issue of collateral damage and can once again embrace what superhero movies do best, namely pure escapism. His differing ideology from Cap’s is the crux of Civil War’s philosophical and literal battle, but, like 2016's Other Superhero v Superhero Movie, this heady and repetitive debate also grinds down the pacing at times. He certainly has his good reasons for being down, although it does sap the movie of some of the charm and fun Iron Man has long been relied on to deliver. His battle of ideologies with Tony is compelling, but it never quite evolves past the same argument being repeated throughout and both sides doing something to show why the other might be right.ĭowney turns in an uncharacteristically morose turn as Tony, even moodier than he was in Age of Ultron and in parts of Iron Man 3.
He's a good man who has to make tough calls, who's essentially alone in the world despite the company of his superhero pals. This is, as it should be, very much Cap's movie and Evans' Steve Rogers once again proves he's the heart and soul of the MCU. superhero action ensues, as new heroes join the fray and a mysterious nemesis, Helmut Zemo (Daniel Bruhl), operates his own shadowy agenda. After a deadly attack is attributed to Cap’s old partner, Bucky “The Winter Soldier” Barnes (Sebastian Stan), Cap goes rogue to locate and protect his oldest friend while Tony Stark and the Avengers who side with him are given a deadline to stop them before less friendly elements are sent after them. Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) is for signing onto the Sokovia Accords, while Captain America (Chris Evans) is very much against it. World leaders demand oversight over Earth’s Mightiest Heroes after the costly and deadly events of the first Avengers, TWS, and AoU. It’s not nearly as powerful or gripping as TWS, but it also does a much better job of juggling so many different characters than AoU did. Captain America: Civil War is an enjoyable, but flawed follow-up to both Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Avengers: Age of Ultron.
