A Modern Civil War

    Back in 2006 a comic book story known as Civil War slipped into the comic book world relatively unknown to the masses and years later that very story inspired one of the biggest box office opener's ever. In 2016, Marvel Studios released the highly coveted Captain America: Civil War starring Chris Evans with a backing ensemble cast consisting of Robert Downey Jr, Scarlett Johansson, Paul Rudd, Jeremy Renner, Don Cheadle, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie plus many more. This film was directed by Anthony and Joe Russo who have directed other Marvel Cinematic Films as well as other films and TV shows.
     Seeing as this is the thirteenth film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe this film had a lot leading up to it and carried a lot of weight on it's shoulders in terms of world building through the story in order to set up the next few years of movies. This film pits apart Captain America and Iron Man against one another when a United Nations signed document titled the Sokovia Accords is introduced to the world in order to put some sort of governing control over super powered people. This makes for an awesome conflict leading to a disassembling of the Avengers super team and a civil war that sparks between the side of heroes who are pro-government vs those who are on the run from authority. This film once again proves the power house that is Marvel Studios with all of it's A listers as the famous superheroes. I believe this to be the best Marvel film to date and can't wait to see what else they bring from comic book pages onto the big screen,
