Captain America Civil War (2016) movie review
Heroic Tensions

Movie poster, Captain America Civil War
Divided We Fall
One hundred and seventeen countries band together to produce an accord demanding the oversight of 'enhanced' humans. In short, the Avengers will have to have approval on a case-by-case basis before acting.
What could possibly go wrong?
Of course, not all the Avengers will sign up. And so the two factions, Captain America (against signing) and Iron Man (for signing) begin recruiting. Naturally it ends in a brawl.
Let's be honest here, this is SFX porn. There is the odd bit of what passes for plot line between special effects-heavy fight scenes.
Ultimately watching this film is like watching the promotional 'reel' for a special effects company. If you think you could watch a couple of hours of that, then this film is for you.
