IMDb plot summary: Political involvement in the Avengers' activities causes a rift between Captain America and Iron Man.
Directed by Anthony and Joe Russo. Starring Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, and Sebastian Stan.
Sheesh, for a Captain America movie, they don't do much to make him seem very sympathetic, do they? In their fundamental debate he never listens to what anybody else has to say or offers any solutions of his own, he just digs in his heels and is basically all, "Nuh-uh, I don't wanna." And yet as they continue to destroy buildings and as we continue to hear stories of people hurt by their recklessness, it becomes more and more obvious that from the movie's POV, these folks do REALLY need somebody to reign them in.
Beyond the issue of Cap being kinda a jerk in this chapter, though, that's exactly what it feels like -- a chapter. It doesn't feel like a full self-contained story, it's too reliant on everything that came before and pointed forward too much to what's to come. It's a middle piece without an actual beginning or end, and the best that will ever earn from me is a shrug.
1.5 stars.
