In the process of saving the world the Avengers have caused some damage and many people are starting to take notice. This causes the government to put this group in check and manage what exactly it is they will do. On one side of things certain characters are agreeing on the other they are not, causing the avengers to split.

This movie is probably the best written film in the MCU at the point of its release. The movie does a really good job of showing that actions have consequences, it shows that although the avengers are saving a lot of people they are also causing the deaths of many people. Each character in this film needs to make a life changing decision and the writers do a really good job of showing why each person chose each side. In addition to that you have the theme of friendship and the theme of vengeance which are both handled very well and the film shows what can happen when friendship and vengeance are intertwined.

This a movie of two plots though, on one hand you have the Sokovia accords and on the other you have this continuing story with Captain America and the Winter soldier. The film does a really good job of not only intertwining the two plots but also making them both equally important.

Every actor did an amazing job with their character. Like I said each character has their own mini arc and each actor did a great job with that. Chadwick Boseman was great as Black Panther and Tom Holland was also great as Spider-Man.

The semi antagonist to this film is Zemo played by Daniel Bruhl. The characters motives are not revealed until the end of the movie, this is a problem for two reasons. First it makes his character seem like no more than a moustache twirling villain and second he isn't all that interesting. The intrigue for this character needed to come earlier, since that intrigue wasn't there whenever he is on screen and following his side of the plot the only thing the audience is thinking is "when are we getting back to the avengers conflict".

The action is highly entertaining here and what I believe to be the best action since the Avengers (at the point of its release). They have a lot of truly realistic action since there are a lot of hand to hand combat, but because they have other types of characters you also get the more sci-fi type action and it is handled very well.

Overall a great movie, amazing character writing, great action scenes and some great character introductions all add up to a great film.

9/10.
