Captain America: Civil War

No words are needed. But there are definitely spoilers ahead, so read at your own risk. I'll put the warning in bold too, just in case you didn't catch it.


WARNING! SPOILERS AHEAD! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK


C A P T A I N   A M E R I C A:
C I V I L   W A R



                  The film begins with the Avengers on another mission in Sokovia, looking for the villain who calls himself Crossbones. He's been evading the Avengers for awhile, but they've got him
now. Cap and Crossbones fight, and then Cap has him kneeling in front of him. He interrogates him and Crossbones pulls a grenade pin. 
                          But Scarlet Witch contains the blast and throws him into a building where he blows up, killing hundreds of people. This sends a bad message to the rest of the world about the Avengers, and for good reason. Therefore, a world conference is called, and the Sokovia Accords are adopted by over 150 countries to regulate the Avengers. 
                          Captain America sees this as bad because if the Accords are adopted (and they are), that means that where the governments of the world may want the Avengers doesn't necessarily mean that that's where they need to be. In other words, their right to choose is taken away so as to hopefully
protect the world. 
                          Present at the conference is Black Widow, T'Challa (prince of Wakanda), and many other world leaders. Cap has officially gone rogue, A-Wall, whatever you wanna call it. But him and his team are wanted and are officially considered vigilantes. 
                          Now this isn't all there is too the whole movie. Baron Zemo is actually the mastermind behind the entire operation, because his family died in Sokovia. Therefore, he's angry at the Avengers. However, he knows that he himself cannot destroy them, so he makes it so that they destroy themselves by staging murders that are supposedly done by the Winter Soldier. 
                          Later on you find out that Bucky is innocent, but at one point he does get triggered and turns all bad. But it's okay because he turns back into regular Bucky as soon as he's knocked out. Along for the ride is everyone's favorite comedic hero, Spider-Man! Then we get to see Giant Man and Black Panther kick some serious butt. 
                          If you haven't seen the film already, get up off of your butt and go see it. It's totally worth the price of admission and popcorn and pop. Just do it, you won't regret it.
Ratings:
Family Friendliness: 7/10 Shields- Now, I get it, it's a Marvel movie, and there's nothing sexual or anything along those lines. But you gotta think of the parents that don't like language, and there's a little bit of that. Plus there's a helluva lotta fighting, and there's some scenes with minimal blood. It's still a great film though.
Story-line: 8/10 Accords- Now if you're anything like me, you'd be disappointed that it wasn't the X-Men that caused this whole thing like in the comics. But if you are anything like me, you'll be happy that they made do with what they had. Also, they did a good job of bringing back any and all of the major happenings from the best movies that were devastating to the world. It really ties the MCU together, and I'm happy with everything that they did. Especially with Spider-Man and Black Panther.
Story-Action Balance: 9/10 Webs- Alright this is a new feature. For this film, it did an excellent job of balancing the story and action. While the action was happening, you knew why it was happening. It wasn't a Fast and Furious, "wait, they're crashing in cars cuz why???" You could actually follow.
Comic Accuracy: 7/10 Claws- I'm sorry, I'm just a real stickler about this, but to be honest, what with Marvel had, they did a phenomenal job. Pick up the comics and read. They're totally worth the hours of following.
Overall: 9/10- Technically, the score should be 7. But that's okay, I gave it a curve. If you see it, you'll know why. And it was a pretty generous curve at that too.

Ant-Man

MARVEL'S
A N T - M A N

                  Get ready for one of the funniest Marvel movies that you will ever see! Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly deliver an excellent performance as they fight for the Pym particle against the evil Darren Cross. Hank Pym has created an amazing particle that can shrink people down to the size of
an ant. And S.H.I.E.L.D. wants it. But, Dr Pym knows all too well that the particle in the wrong hands could lead to something drastic. So, Dr Pym resigns from his position at S.H.I.E.L.D. in 1989.
                  Fast forward to the present day, and Scott Lang is being punched in the face as a farewell gift. He is finally getting released from the slammer, and he decides that he is done with stealing people's stuff. He gets picked up by one of his good friends and they go back to their apartment. Scott decides to get a job. Since he is an ex robber, he can't get any really good jobs, so instead he works at Baskin Robbins. But all too soon, he gets fired. 
                  He goes to his daughter Cassie's birthday party, and talks to his wife about finally getting
to spend time with Cassie. He maps it out and figures out that he will have to work for 377 days until he can finally see Cassie. Not satisfied, Scott turns back to crime. His friend tells him of a big job that could get him a lot of money. But when he robs the place, it turns out that there is no money. Instead, there is a suit. Scott takes the suit home and tries it on. He shrinks and goes on a crazy "test run."                           Scott does not want any part of the suit and he returns it. On the way out from the house and returning the suit, he gets arrested. Dr Pym meets with Scott at the jail, pretending to be his lawyer. Dr Pym gives Scott a second chance by giving him the Ant-Man suit. Scott escapes from prison and makes it back to Dr Pym's house. Here, he is given his mission. 
                  He has to break in to Pym Technologies and steal a suit; the Yellow Jacket. This Yellow Jacket is what Darren Cross has been working on for years now, after having been Dr Pym's pupil for so long. Darren Cross wants to make an army of Yellow Jackets. If that happens, the world will plunge into chaos. 
                  I know it's a little early to be telling you all of this, so I will let you figure out the rest for yourself. This is really a fun movie, one that is sure going to be enjoyed by families over and over again. Really the only things you should watch out for is language. Other than that, Ant-Man is an enjoyable movie experience for all ages.



RATINGS:
Action: 8 out 10 Fire Ants- This was an awesome movie. Everything was nicely balanced, especially the action! There wasn't a whole lot of fighting, but all of the scenes with the ants were definitely action-packed.
FUN: 9.5 out of 10 Trucks- C'mon, for those who have seen this movie, you gotta admit this was a really fun movie. It was like Guardians of the Galaxy, just a lot more references. And if you are well-rounded in movies and TV shows, you should get most of the references.
Story-line: 9 out of 10 Pym Particles- This story was very well done. I love how they balanced every single character, and they definitely took the time to develop Scott, Hank, Hope, and even Darren Cross! Trust me, you won't regret seeing this movie.
Overall: 9 out of 10 Stars- I rounded the math up, but if you see the movie, you'll know why. But yea! That's my review for the last movie in Marvel's Phase Two!
