amberdreamsJust had to jot down a few words about Captain America Civil War. Warnings for overuse of parentheses.
First off - I loved it. Second - it wasn't quite what I expected in terms of the aforementioned title. I'm not at all familiar with the comic books so had no preconceived ideas outside of the snippets from the trailers, but that was a good thing. The ending was therefore surprisingly satisfying.
One of the best parts of today's viewing was sitting next to a family with a four year old boy and his seven year old sister, both dressed in blue tee shirts with #teamcapn on the backs. There were certain fight scenes which had the pair of them in hysterics, giggling, and they all stayed right to the very end of the credits to see the wee extra clips, which showed me they were truly dedicated little geeks. Oh and I loved that the cinema staff were dressed up in costumes too - there were even a couple of girl Captain Americas and an overweight Iron Man.
I'll put this next comment under a cut in case someone thinks it's spoilery (I don't think it really gives anything away, but I could be wrong!)
So - I loved that this whole story seemed to be about revenge. It (of course!) made me think about Supernatural, because most things do, but mostly because I could really see lots of parallels with the storylines our boys have lived through, and the ones in this film. It was a lesson in the futility of vengeance, and the reality of friendships (and brotherhood), and that was what made it so bloody marvellous (pun intended). I have so many Bucky Sam feels now! I'm really hoping my film buddy will want to go next week so I have an excuse to go again and savour all the good stuff, (especially Bucky's scruff and Iron Man's beeeeeeoootiful dark eyes...melts).
