That Movie Gay #2016


It's super hero time again and Marvel are not resting with X-Men returning to the big screen this week, however I made time to catch up with CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR.



Now Superman V Batman had a really similar plot, mad ass mash up of comic book folk and felt more like a marketing tool for pushing out future projects.

Captain America: Cvil War is not a Captain America film it's more like a Avengers mini sequel less some of the crew and adding in the latest Spiderman and giving Paul Rudd's Ant Man another run. The only thing missing was Deadpool.

Excuse me if I sound a little disappointed and worried Marvel were trying to do too much in one film. They include a death of a Marvel characters, ironically who's TV show has also died a slow and painful death, it features a spin off for Spiderman (AGAIN - third time lucky in my recent memory) and all your Avenger favourites less Thor and the Hulk.

It's such a big film and the action scenes work, however it's all a little same same. Superman V Batman was panned worldwide, this has been reviewed in a much better light, however the similar plot is a little concerning across the two superhero films.

Chris Evans is sublime and Elizabeth Olsen is impressive in her side plot. Look it's a fun night out and for the ladies Chris Evans ARMS, holy shit, for the men, there are the usual car chases, punch ups and more explosions than you can poke an old stick at.

We will see how X-Men fairs after coming after this and Superman V Batman as superhero fatigue has got to set in at some stage.

This was enjoyable just not really as advertised a Captain America film, it was more like a Marvel's best of and seeing it was meant to be the last Captain America film.

It's made a shit load at the box office so I am assuming any negativity above counts for little, it's a 3 Star film and I think I now need a good lay down after all the action and all the comic book stars thrown at me in this latest 2 Hours and 27 minute film.
