Funny. Entertaining. Action-packed. 
Captain America is probably my favorite film this year! 


 Captain America: Civil War picks up where Avengers: Age of Ultron left off as Steve and the other Avengers continue to save humanity. But as one incident in Lagos leads to a collateral damage, people start to show distrust towards them and the United Nations decide to pass the Sokovia Accords which will put a leash around the Avengers, meaning they only get to work if the government wants them too. Steve strongly disagrees on signing the accords, believing that the Avengers should remain free to act on their own. On the other hand, Tony Stark and some others like Natasha and Rhodey, agree to sign the accords. 

The disagreement and conflict among the Avengers continue to mount as Bucky Barnes, Steve's bestfriend, is wanted for bombing and killing King T'Chaka of Wakanda when a ratification is held in Vienna. The King's son, Prince T'Challa vows to kill the bomber himself so he goes after Barnes. And despite Romanoff's objections, Steve and Sam still track down Barnes in Bucharest. In a police chase, Barnes tries to get away but T'Challa, now Black Panther, shows up. Steve, Sam, Barnes and T'Challa are captured and taken to a facility where Barnes is questioned by Colonel Helmut Zemo, posing to be someone else. Zemo uses Hydra's trigger words on Barnes asking about the 1991 mission and sending Barnes into a rampage. Steve and Sam stop him and together they escape. When Barnes regains consciousness, he explains everything to Steve and Sam, that Zemo is behind what happened and is probably going to Siberia where Barnes was held and is going to unfreeze the other Winter Soldiers that were created.

What happens next is my favorite part of the movie where Steve calls for back up and Stark, with a mission to bring Steve, Sam and Barnes in, also forms his own team. So then we have Sam, Wanda, Clint and Scott Lang on #TeamCap and Rhodey, Romanoff, Vision, T'Challa and Peter Parker on #TeamIronMan. 


After their small talk and fight which, by the way, is intense, nerve-wreaking and hilarious, Romanoff lets Steve and Barnes escape so they can go after Zemo. The rest of Steve's team is captured while Rhodey has broken a leg after Vision has unintentionally shot him down. Romanoff' then informs Stark that Barnes has been framed by Zemo.

Steve and Barnes reach the Siberian Hydra facility and contrary to what they thought, Zemo hasn't activated the other Winter Soldiers but killed them instead. Stark also follows, now knowing the truth that Zemo has planned everything. And with the three of them as audience, Zemo plays a tape showing what really happened in the 1991 mission of Barnes. It turns out Barnes killed Stark's parents. This new evidence enrages Stark and gives him enough reason to kill Barnes. But Steve couldn't let him kill his bestfriend so the three of them engage in yet another intense fight. It ends when Steve pins Stark down and smashes that thing on Stark's chest with his shield. Steve walks away with Barnes but Stark stops him by saying that his shield was made by his father. Steve drops it down before disappearing. On the other hand, believing that he has avenged his family's death in the Sokovia attack by creating a conflict within the Avengers, Zemo tries to attempt suicide but is stopped by T'Challa.


In the aftermath, Rhodey is given leg braces by Stark. Steve has fled with Barnes to Wakanda where T'Challa gives them a place to stay. But before that, Steve breaks his team out of detainment with a narration while Stark reads the letter Steve sent him. It says that whenever Stark needs their help, he knows he can always count on them.

I really enjoyed this movie so it's a perfect 5 star for me. I watched it with my sisters and I'm sure they loved it too. Oh, we love Captain America! :") But one of my sisters, Yana, is #TeamIronMan. 
 
 

We hope you enjoy the movie as much as we did!
And here's a bonus for you  girls out there. Hihi :")

And oh, in the post-credits scene, of course there's a post-credits scene, we see Peter Parker recovering and accidentally touches his web-shooters projecting something on his bedroom ceiling. And he will return!
