This is basically Avengers: Civil War, and thats perfectly fine with me!
This movie is just such a highlight of how great the MCU is at bringing all these characters together and allowing them to mesh and clash, and keep them all acting perfectly in character with how theyve been developed in prior movies. It never feels like anybody is at odds with how theyve been portrayed before, which is what we would see by lesser writers and directors.
One thing I *love* is when people say this movie sucks because Iron Man is obviously right.. and then other people say this movie sucks because Captain America is obviously right. Its a pretty braindead take either way. If you come to that conclusion, then you didnt think about it for more than 10 seconds. You just thought about until you came up with *your* conclusion and decided thats the right one.
Of course, thats what makes the conflict about the accords actually good. Both Iron Man and Cap have compelling reasons why they are taking the side they are here.
The result of the movie is that the accords are dumb because its technically a Captain America movie, and these dumb accords just get in our super heroes way anyways, but its still a great question and good way to split the heroes into teams and fight eachother. And the fights are awesome.
I love Zemo. He doesnt really care about the accords or the heroes or anything. Hes devastated that he lost his family, and he blames the heroes. Therefore, hes going to enact a plan and destroy him. Theres really nothing special about him individually that makes him a supervillain, hes just very good at finding information and using his spycraft to use it. He makes the Avengers and the government dance to his tune, and I love the whole ride he takes us on.
TChalla is introduced spectacularly here. Hes entirely driven by revenge of what happens to his dad, but his arc is wrapped up pretty satisfyingly, which is good considering he strangely didnt get a lot of focus in his own movie.
Ive seen a lot of criticism that this movie is completely lacking in memorable locations. Its a movie of stairwells and meeting rooms. And its true. But. Thats not really a problem. Fantastic landscapes and memorable locations are a boon to any movie but that doesnt mean every movie needs to have them. This movie has compelling character interactions and top tier action. It keeps everything consistent and continues to up the stakes throughout the movie. When our heroes are finally on the same page. Zemo shows Tony a movie, and things get dialed up to 11
This is a GREAT movie and I love it.
