Civil War Review

The movie opens with a mission, which ends successfully in eliminating the threat, costs mighty collateral damage. The world leaders point out rather harshly on the damage that the Avengers are causing. Avengers too on the other hand understand completely the powers they have and the damage they are capable of bringing. The ghosts of their past start haunting them and just when they collectively feel weak, the world leaders take the opportunity to bring them under their political envelope. Feeling the need to be controlled, even if they don't like it, they agree to the proposal for the greater good. But the Captain isn't happy about it.
 

Just when they join the world leaders to sign the proposal, their assembly is blown up. It turns out the leaders are convinced that Bucky Barnes, a friend of the Captain, was behind the attack. Captain's obviously not convinced, but there's proof. This tears up the Avengers into two groups. Team Captain helps Bucky and Team Stark tries to bring in Captain and Bucky into custody.
 

So, it's a very straightforward story, but just made to look unbelievably complicated. The screenplay has a bunch of stories running parallel before converging it all to one point.

Best thing about the film is that it also brings few other marvel characters into play to add excitement and turns out they do add a lot of excitement and humour. You would've neither seen Spider Man so young nor his aunt so attractive.  Paul Rudd as the Ant-Man is a riot. Watch out for him in the airport action sequence, which is the biggest highlight of the film. You'll never figure out if the Avengers are having a fun real time practice session or a serious battle.
