This is, as it should be, very much Cap's movie and Evans' Steve Rogers once again proves he's the heart and soul of the MCU. superhero action ensues, as new heroes join the fray and a mysterious nemesis, Helmut Zemo (Daniel Bruhl), operates his own shadowy agenda. After a deadly attack is attributed to Cap’s old partner, Bucky “The Winter Soldier” Barnes (Sebastian Stan), Cap goes rogue to locate and protect his oldest friend while Tony Stark and the Avengers who side with him are given a deadline to stop them before less friendly elements are sent after them. Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) is for signing onto the Sokovia Accords, while Captain America (Chris Evans) is very much against it. World leaders demand oversight over Earth’s Mightiest Heroes after the costly and deadly events of the first Avengers, TWS, and AoU. It’s not nearly as powerful or gripping as TWS, but it also does a much better job of juggling so many different characters than AoU did. Captain America: Civil War is an enjoyable, but flawed follow-up to both Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Avengers: Age of Ultron.
