Captain America: Civil War is not just a terrific superhero movie, but a terrific movie.
When Steve Rogers, bruised and bloody from fighting with a fully-armoured Tony Stark, puts up his fists and says, “I can do this all day,” it takes us back to the first Captain America movie and the frail little guy he used to be, and it reminds us that what makes Cap a hero isn’t his enhanced abilities or his fighting skills. It’s his spirit. He won’t quit.
We’re going to need that thought in the coming days.
Watch the movie. Reserve your tickets. Yay, Ant-Man!

Cap’s portrayal in film is very spot on from the comics–never a quitter, always find a way to win or get out of the impossible situations, and possessing the indomitable determination. If only Marvel has the movie rights of the Fantastic Four movie properties and makes a movie revolving Kang the Conqueror, the fight scene between Cap and the future-Reed Richards-descendant-conqueror would be epic!
I have to watch this for the second time around!

wangbumaximus21: So after all his agonizing and wanting to quit, Chris Evans has really grown into the role. He makes the squarest man on earth sympathetic.

Captain America, even before Chris Evans suited the role, is my second most favorite Marvel character, next to Adam Warlock (the Jim Starlin-runs). Chris Evans might have possibly read and studied Captain America comics, especially the Mark Millar Ultimates runs and Ed Brubaker’s Captain America tenure. Seldom a comic and often out of touch of real times, but his “squarest man on earth” persona is what many Cap fans endear the Marvel counterpart of Superman (in values and moral uprightness).
I can’t wait for Chris Evans to go toe-to-toe with Thanos, as what the Marvel epic event, The Infinity Gauntlet, presented, Your Grace.
