Revitalizing the superhero Marvel blockbuster are returning directorial duo brothers, Joe and Anthony Russo, in an action packed epic, filmed with cutting edge technology, and an impressive cast of superheroes.
Loosely adapted from Mark Miller's tale, scriptwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely address escalating tensions that split the Avengers on the issue of autonomy versus government regulation, and superhero accountability.
Standing for the continued freedom to operate is Team Captain, lead by Steve Rogers (Chris Evans), supported by superheroes Falcon (Anthony Mackie), Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) and Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner). In an effort to control collateral damage, Team Iron Man, led by Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr), stands with government control of the Avengers. It is backed by War Machine (Don Cheadle), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) and the hilarious android Vision (Paul Bettany).
Other featured superheroes include Captain America's childhood friend Bucky Barnes Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan) and super-villain Zemo (Daniel Bruhl). Interjecting humor into this complex drama are Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman), Ant-Man (Paul Rudd) and Spider-Man (Tom Holland). 
Despite the large cast, the ambitious feature manages to maintain balanced screen-time and well developed characters. Setting the bar to a higher level is the crisp, humorous script, colorful cinematography, and the spectacularly intense CGI action sequences. A worthy addition to the Marvel franchise.
