Captain America: Civil War is the third movie in the Captain America series and continues the adventures of Steve Rogers, while also tying in most of the other Avengers. It all starts when political pressure begins to build up, because the Avengers have been responsible for millions of dollars worth of damage, as well as the death of hundreds. Although they do their best to save everyone, this is simply not a possibility, and the world wants to put the group of superheroes under supervision by the United Nations. Because of this, the group becomes deeply divided. Steve believes that the team cannot possibly go under control by the government, because they're heroes for when the world needs them, not when they're told to go. Tony Stark believes that the team should just accept the reality, because it's just a matter of time before they get put under a government's control eventually, and at least it's the highly respected United Nations. This causes the team to split and smash heads against one another. Due to their incredible powers, the debate escalates until team members are forced to choose sides, and each side eventually begins enlisting outside superhero help, which only furthers the fighting.
 

Although Captain America: Civil War is technically a Captain America movie, the film seems to be more like an Avengers movie, and this further causes the adventure to be extremely important in the Marvel cinematic universe. It builds up future movies and is extremely beneficial for audiences to better understand Earth's mightiest heroes, as well as gain a better understanding of the true purpose of the Avengers. 


 The beginning of the movie starts things off brilliantly, and it is very interesting to see the heroes dealing with being famous and how the world reacts to their heroism. Things quickly get more and more exciting, and by the middle, audiences are mind-blown and on the edges of their seats. The ending to the movie is arguably the best part, and it manages to be incredibly enticing, as well as have some fantastic battle scenes. There are thrilling twists and turns at seemingly every corner, and there are absolutely a few that no one will see coming.

 The movie is action-packed to the brim, and there is a memorable amount of intensity and suspense in the movie. Captain America and Iron Man's disagreement on the important issue allows the movie to demonstrate just how human most of the heroes really are and how they aren't that different from the average human being, which allows viewers to connect with their fan-favorite heroes on an entirely new level. 

 Even though none of the movie should be able to work, it does so triumphantly. There are more than enough characters on the screen, and none of them should be able to shine, but they all do amazingly. Every character has a somewhat important, vital role in the movie, and this allows all of them to bring out their inner greatness. Because there are so many superheroes, the fighting scenes are just spectacular and are one of the many reasons that the movie stays true to its name.

 The vividly outstanding visual effects bring the comics to life and make the well-known heroes sparkle in ways that make Captain America: Civil War feel like an actual event that could occur in the real world. The superb special effects help to elevate the battles an insane amount and show the true might of the relatable heroes. 

 Not only was the movie a massive hit with fans, but critics seemed to be equally satisfied. Rotten Tomatoes gave the movie an impressive 91%, and a marvelous 93% of Google users liked the movie. And because both critics and viewers gave the movie such high marks, it's clear that this Captain America movie is definitely a must see. Captain America: Civil War manages to make war enjoyable and entertaining, while also satisfying just about anyone and everyone.
