    Storyline

    Edit
    With many people fearing the actions of super heroes, the government decides to push for the Hero Registration Act, a law that limits a hero's actions. This results in a division in The Avengers. Iron Man stands with this Act, claiming that their actions must be kept in check otherwise cities will continue to be destroyed, but Captain America feels that saving the world is daring enough and that they cannot rely on the government to protect the world. This escalates into an all-out war between Team Iron Man (Iron Man, Black Panther, Vision, Black Widow, War Machine, and Spider-Man) and Team Captain America (Captain America, Bucky Barnes, Falcon, Scarlet Witch, Hawkeye, and Ant Man) while a new villain emerges. —RespectTheHyphen

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The day before filming a fight scene with Robert Downey Jr., Sebastian Stan sent him a video of himself doing intense bicep curls in front of the decapitated head of an Iron Man suit. He attached the message, "Looking forward to our scene tomorrow Robert".
    • Goofs
      The sleeve patches on the Russian soldiers in the beginning showing the flag of the modern day Russian Federation. The scene took place on 16 December 1991, the USSR was still in existence (though only for another 10 days). The soldiers would have had a red hammer and sickle on their patches instead.
    • Quotes

      Iron Man: [after witnessing Scott transform into Giant-Man] Okay, anybody on our side hiding any shocking and fantastic abilities they'd like to disclose? I'm open to suggestions.

    • Crazy credits
      SPOILER: There are two scenes in the closing credits:
      • Bucky and Steve hide out in Wakanda, under the permission and assistance of King T'Challa. This leads into Black Panther (2018).
      • Peter Parker awkwardly explains his injuries to Aunt May, and later sees a gadget Tony Stark made for him. This leads into Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017).

    8/10
    Resounding success
    A success for the studio that came to raise the expectations that had fallen with Age of Ultron

    This film wins the hearts of all for its great elaboration and interpretation, of course it is not the same as the comics we know, but with good reason.

    Seeing almost all the avengers plus spiderman again is something wonderful and in my opinion uniting them was a hit, making us know more and more about this group, especially something to highlight is that each one is given their space inside the movie and that pleases.

    As I clearly mentioned the development and execution of the film is incredible but something that is seriously out of place is Zemo, someone who first appears as the villain because he creates the plot but in the end is forgotten, when something else could have been done.
