I finally got to see Captain America: Civil War, so of course it's time for another Spoiler Free Review and Parental Guide. :) I had mixed feelings going into this because movies like Iron Man 2, 3 were really disappointing, and, while Avengers 2 was pretty good, it wasn't as good as I was hoping it would be. Captain America: Civil War actually surprised me!
While it wasn't exactly the party/dance off I would have loved (it was really dramatic and action heavy) it was still entertaining.
Captain America: Civil War Spoiler Free ReviewOverall, I'd say that Captain America: Civil War had it all: action, humor, drama, fun, etc. Definitely worth watching in the theater!
The Good
The Bad
Parental GuideLanguage: There was quite a bit more profanity in this movie compared to the other Avengers movies. While most of it is minor, there are several instances of heavier profanity, especially the "S word". Violence: Pretty heavy on the violence. I'm not letting my younger two kids watch it, but I think it's fine for my 12 year old. The violence was more realistic since it was all human vs human style fighting, including a lot of punching—you see a lot of black eyes, bloodied lips, etc. The violence is even a bit scary at times. This might be especially hard for younger children to watch as you see heroes fighting each other and don't know how far they will go to stop each other. Sexual Content: Unlike the Iron Man movies, there was no sex or sexual content in Captain America: Civil War, which I really appreciated.Warning: Spoilers Ahead!Can we just take a moment to appreciate the humor in this movie? I mean, half the time, I was having trouble breathing because I was laughing so much!
And Spider-Man? Ahaha! LOVED him. For the most part, his personality was spot on:
But what the heck was with Spidey not knowing Star Wars?? Everything else about him was perfect but our geeky Peter Parker would know Empire Strikes Back by heart. I know they were trying to be funny but that's one really shot holes in the credibility of their Spider-Man.
And what was up with Aunt May being like 30?? Not cool, Marvel. Not cool.
LOVED this part but decent person would tell someone that the love of their life had just died via text message??! Would've been so easy to have a quick phone call or even for him to pick up the phone, then show him at the funeral. Grrrr! Also, Peggy just died and he's getting together with her NIECE??? What the crud! Give us some time to move on here!
Having Crossbones in the beginning was kind of fun, but it just seemed like he knew way too much without us getting to know him first. He almost defeated the Avengers and we didn't even know why until they blew him up...
Poor Baron Zemo! He was quite diabolical, as he should have been, but they spent way too much time focusing on action scenes instead of giving him the character development that he needed. Zemo is one of Cap's major villains and he seemed more like an afterthought to me. Don't get me wrong, by the end of the movie, where T'Challa was talking to him, I did feel for the guy, but they just could have done so much more! It also seemed like a huge let down that he just killed the other super soldiers instead of using them for his cause, as was his M.O. in the movie...but that would probably have made for an even longer action-focused movie. ![]()

Captain America: Civil War is the biggest marvel movie of its year. It was one that fielded the most superheroes in the history of films. As a Marvel fan, I have been very happy about the way that they have immortalized my favorite characters. Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man is just exceptional, I can also say the same for Chris Evans' portrayal of Captain America. I hope that they will make more marvel movies in the future, maybe about the Hulk.
