Rating: 9 out of 10, As the title
suggests this one has the long simmering rivalry between the stalwart Captain
America and the narcissistic Iron Man finally flower into full-fledged war. The
point of contention is turning authority over the Avengers to the United
Nations. The plot was kind of dumb, I mean who in their right mind would grant
any real authority to that benighted organization? At the same time we have
super heroes zooming around, spells being cast, and 100 year old soldiers so
suspending disbelief shouldn’t be that hard. Marvel does what they do best.
They give heart and depth to these comic book icons and make even
semi-believers care. There’s also non-stop action along with an examination of
the repercussions of all their prior city busting exploits. The conflict seems
forced as none of them truly hate each other but it does lead to a lively, if
very crowded confrontation. The nicest surprise is the introduction of
Spiderman which they’ve finally figured out, returning to his comic book
personae. So a really, good, movie but that’s what you’ve come to expect when
this bunch gets together.
MVP: Evans lends some real depth to
the deep thinking Captain
