Civil War was definitely the hot ticket this weekend, and it
killed at the box office. I know I was definitely looking forward to this one.
This was one of my top movies to see this summer. The anticipation built from
months of waiting for it to be released. After seeing the trailer months ago, I
had very high expectations...but perhaps a little too high...
Some of you die hard comic book fans may
not agree with what I have to say about this film, but it is what it is...my
blog...my point of view ~shrugs. The movie was great, especially the story
line. Definitely gave the movie a nice turn of events, and a jaw dropping
moment near the end. However, to me, the movie still lacked power. I thought
the story was building up when they introduced the other Winter Soldiers, but
that part of story quickly fell flat, and I didn't receive the buildup I
expected. I enjoyed the introduction of the other Marvel heroes into the story.
My favorite was the kid who played Spiderman. He honestly didn't seem like he
fit, but he was very well cast, and I enjoyed his performance. Everyone was all
hyped about Black Panther, and I had a hard time seeing him as a man in a cat
suit and not mistaking him for Cat Woman. Those claws were killing me. He was
kickass, but those feline claws kept throwing me off...Meow! #ICan't.
The fight scenes were excellence, and
choreographed very well. I know some may disagree with this complaint, but
there was just way to much kick/punch/kick/punch for me. When I got to see a
Superhero movie, I expect to see some Superhero ish, and there wasn't too much
of that going on. Even Iron Man seemed weak in this movie. None of his
Superhero gadgets were spectacular, and he always has something amazing. Not
this time. Half the time his armor wasn't working, and I wasn't a fan of the
new voice that replaced "Jarvis"...eh.
I enjoyed the movie, I really did. I just
didn't think it was all that super. I had higher expectations that weren't met.
This movie is packed with great action scenes and a nice storyline to run with
it. But the superheroes cast for this installment weren't the most exciting. I
really could have used a Hulk Smash to liven things up...ijs. This is still a
movie you still want to see because it was really good. But if you are
expecting what I expected, just lower your expectations a tad...A-
