Movie Info

Political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability when the actions of the Avengers lead to collateral damage. The new status quo deeply divides members of the team. Captain America (Chris Evans) believes superheroes should remain free to defend humanity without government interference. Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) sharply disagrees and supports oversight. As the debate escalates into an all-out feud, Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) and Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) must pick a side.

Audience Reviews for Captain America: Civil War

  • Jun 04, 2019
    ******** SPOILERS AHEAD ************* The dialogue is outstanding, even fuller of subtext than usual, and stunning action sequences like the airport fight carried by the charm of the newly introduced Peter Parker and Ant Man, but the plot is still a little thin. The framing of Bucky and Stark's parents' death seems so temporary. The true argument between Captain America and Iron Man, about supervision, seems mature for the Marvel movies, but still doesn't reach the depth of the fundamental moral divide between Professor X and Magneto.

    While not being the"Dark Knight"of Marvel,Captain America Civil War has an emotional story and brings new Marvel charachters to the stadium in a great way.

    Little dissapointong from my viewpoint but it really is great blockbuster. It has some unexpected moments and mostly the end of the movie which was really worthy for a praise. That thing really won me when i was thinking about the movie after seeing it. One of the few that surprised me. And the one from much time with that way of unexpecting. So.... Good movie.
