Although it’s already been a month since its premiere, Captain America: Civil War’s heat is still increasing. The movie had been one of the most anticipated films of 2016 and it has lived up to the title. As of May, 30 2016 the movie has earned more than 1 billion dollars, which is more than ten times of the original budget used to make the film - 250 million dollars. Directed by Antony and Joe Russo, it is the highest grossing film in 2016 and the fourth highest grossing superhero film of all time, just after its previous film Captain America: Winter Soldier.
The film is produced by Marvel Studios just like any other Marvel movies. It stars Chris Evans as Captain America, Robert Downey Jr. as Iron man, Sebastian Stan as Winter Soldier, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow and many more. Although it is a Captain America film, it includes many other characters from the Marvel universe like Spiderman and Ant Man and for the first time Black Panther. Because so many heroes are featured in this movie, some people call it Avenger 2.5, just before the Avengers Infinity War: Part 1. The main plot is that the conflict between Tony Stark (aka Iron man) and Steve Rodgers (aka Captain America) concerning the Winter soldier and their beliefs. So the heroines and heroes divide into either Team Ironman and Team Captain America and fight to get their way.
Even though it received many positive reviews, scoring 8.3/10 on the IMDb and 90% on the Rotten Tomatoes, I personally think it wasn’t the best film out of the other Marvel movies. However, I do feel like this movie is important because the plot twist sets the basis for many future Marvel movies. So if you are interested in superhero films or action films I highly recommend this movie, but I advise you revise the whole Marvel plot beforehand.
