The Marvel Cinematic Universe is one hell of an
impressive machine. It has churned out three Iron Man movies, two Thor movies,
a dedicated Hulk movie, two Avengers movies, Ant Man, Guardians of the
Galaxy, and now a third Captain America movie (or Avengers depending on how
you look at it). Through all of it, the stories have toyed with more important
themes and topicality. They have often remained a notch above just popcorn and
candy, explosions and mayhem. Now, after lots and lots of catastrophic
destruction in the name of heroism and the self-anointed good trying to stymie
evil, Captain America: Civil War aims
to dive deep on the divide between those who would allow for an unchecked team
of independent heroes (or vigilantes, call them what you will) and those who
would seek to control them, track them, and direct them in order to minimize
collateral damage and tamp down the public belief that these “enhanced
individuals” are running roughshod over the globe.
A blog mostly dedicated to cinema (including both new and old film reviews; commentary; and as the URL suggests - movie lists, although it has been lacking in this area to be honest), but on occasion touching on other areas of personal interest to me.
