Huh? A handful of innocents were killed in Africa because the Avengers were saving millions from a deadly virus (this is the same plot as “Batman v Superman,” indicating our highest-paid screenwriters have now had their imaginations captured by the administrative state). by a king.īut here’s what’s ridiculous: Notoriously arrogant, individualistic and brilliant Tony Stark, a k a Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), readily agrees to bureaucratic oversight. America’s top diplomat wants to neutralize our advantages? So far, so John Kerry - and the Avengers get lectured on their lack of democratic accountability. The story doesn’t make sense: After two crashing but routine action scenes in Vienna and Nigeria result in civilian casualties, the world demands the Avengers be regulated - and the US secretary of state (William Hurt) not only agrees but threatens to lock up the Avengers if they don’t comply. ![]() It’s better than the jokey, tiresome “Avengers: Age of Ultron” or “The Amazing Spider-Man 2.” But after the first two “Captain America” entries, the finest comic-book movies of the last five years, this one is disappointing. Gushing with hundreds of second-string superheroes, “Civil War” ought to delight Comic-Con goers, bless their virgin hearts. “Captain America: Civil War” is really the third “Avengers” movie, and it’s the “We Are the World” of the multiplex. ![]() Rated PG-13 (action violence, profanity).
