The bad news is, there are about ten movies going on in Captain America: Civil War, which is at least seven too many. The good news is, most of them are fun, and there are enough rousing moments to elevate the movie to Marvel's top tier.
Although Thor, the Hulk and other recurring characters have gone missing this time ( with somewhat vague explanations for their absence) , nobody's going to mistake Civil War for a chamber piece. Trailers sold this installment as a tale of intra-Avengers warfare, set off by the government's demand that Captain America ( Chris Evans) allow the arrest of his old friend The Winter Soldier, aka Bucky Barnes ( Sebastian Stan) , an assassin whose moral compass has been scrambled by brainwashing, so that he can be punished for his presumed role . Great movie.
