Michael's Movie Grade: A-
Review: Fantastic film, probably one of the best superhero films of recent years.
I personally like to think that this was made to wash the bad taste of Batman VS. Superman out of our mouths (though I know that's not true), because this film does right everything that movie did wrong. This film sets up why these characters are fighting. Many of the ideas in this film are actually thought provoking (something which too many superhero movies try for and fail). The characters are very well developed and we actually sympathize with them. And with all this happening the film still manages to fit a lot of fun in, even when the movie gets dark.
What I really like about this film is that despite how many characters it has it focuses on Captain America and Iron Man. This keeps the film from feeling to busy and allows us to really focus on the story. Speaking of the story I love that this film allows the story to drive the action, and allows the audience to actually care about the action scenes.
With how much superhero movies have been disappointing me lately (especially Batman VS Superman and Deadpool) it is great to see a superhero movie can still be this great. Overall this is just a fantastic film.
