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.
Sharon's Review
5 "tic-tac", "Stank" Sheep
*squeak* So Captain America...wow, he's pretty...and Iron Man get in a fight...then the Scarlet Witch...boy, did I underestimate her! And then Black Panther comes in (purrrrr) and I really like him...but then Spider-man...who knew he was such a little cinnamon roll...of course then Falcon flies all over the place being really funny...but Tony Stark hurts Antman's feelings and they all fight at the airport and things blow up...Captain America, Bucky, Falcon in a VW Bug...there is a bad guy who wants vengeance...Clint will make you look...I love Bucky Barnes!!!
Okay, I think I covered everything. My 15 year old daughter and I went to opening night IMAX 3D. First we made a stop at the bakery nearby.
We got the theater about an hour early and stood line with a bunch of other nerds. We met Tabby Lou, a local chibi artist http://www.paprika-studios.com/. It was a lot of fun.
I will be seeing it again on a standard screen cause...reasons. I was Team Cap (actually Team Stucky. Don't ask, you probably don't want to know <G>) before the movie and I am still Team Cap. There were superheroes on the other side...I think...doesn't matter.
This is me after the movie. Are those tears of joy or sadness? Muwahahaha!
Katie's Review
5 "Bucky was working out" Sheep
So I had waaaaay less caffeine then Sharon did BUT my thoughts are pretty much the same. I will add though that there was ton more girl ass kicking. The chicks usually get the short end of the stick in these films but not so much this time around. So tops off to the gals!
I also did know the overall story-line for this saga, however seeing it come to life was a much more emotional experience then I expected. It's hard to watch the heros you love fight against each other, but that's life sometimes! You may also be surprised by Aunt May, I sure was.
Make sure to stay tuned until the very very very last credit. There are TWO extra scenes at the end of this one. Good stuff!
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE ---- I am SO happy and relieved to know that the movie delivers. I've loved every movie involving any of the Avengers, and I admit I was afraid of this one: what if it was disappointing? Now I can't wait to see it. PS, kudos on the double review - I really love these!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I do too. With movies we tend to agree, with books not as often Katie love PNR and I get frustrated with it.
DeleteI have to go see this one! I always watch movies without the 3D glasses though, as it gives me a vicious headache in minutes, and there are often just a few scenes hazy.
ReplyDeleteThe trailer for Warcraft look AWESOME in 3D. It was crazy good. But in Civil War you couldn't really tell except during the fight scenes and then it sucked
DeleteI WANT HIM... THEM... Er, I'm going to see this movie hopefully in a few hours so, yeah. I needs the big screen Sharon. I NEEDS THE PRETTEH PEOPLES. *pets pretty pictures* I am SO glad these movies didn't come out when I was a teenager or I would have bankrupted everyone with my Cap backpack, school supplies and clothes.
ReplyDeletesame! I think my husband is starting to notice the merchandise piling up Got a birthday coming up so I'll be asking for more! Muwahahahaha...hahaha...ha...*backs away slowly*
DeleteOh goodness you are LUCKY! I've only been able to find like, one or two things here! I need a hoodie sweatshirt that's for sure. I'm going to sell my relatives, I mean save, yeah SAVE money for one later.
DeleteSome Wal-Marts have lots of merch. My daughter got me a t-shirt from there with Cap, Bucky and Ironman on it.
