Finally, the whole background of the second epic confrontation of the beloved superheroes is revealed for this year, but before going to the cinema, we refreshed the reasoning of our colleagues from the “world of science fiction” on the topic of who is stronger and for whom the truth. After all, this is an important part of the pleasure – to solve such puzzles.
So, the operation of the Avengers to capture terrorists leads to victims among the civilian population. Dissatisfied world leaders develop “Zokoviy Agreements” – a document giving the UN right to control the Avengers. Some superheroes agree with the need to control, some do not trust anyone except himself. The tension is growing, and the next terrorist attack adds oil into the fire ..
Genre: superhero action movie, political thriller Directors : Anthony and Joe Russo Cast: Chris Evans, Robert Dauni Jr., Sebastian Stan, Anthony Maki Premiere in Russia: May 5, 2016 Age rating: 12+
Destructive racks
2016 gave fans of superheroes at once two opportunities to look at how their favorites clash among themselves. First Warner Bros studio. She pushed Batman and Superman's foreheads, and then Marvel showed how Captain America and Iron Man quarreled.
It would seem that the comparison begs, but it would not be quite correct. The authors of Batman vs. Superman tried in three hours to catch up in nine years, to deploy a whole cinema and present to the public new characters. Of course they have problems. And the creators of “Confrontation” were just likely to show a conflict between the heroes who worked together for five films.
At first glance, they did it. The viewer will equally empathize with both Tony Stark and Steve Rogers, because everyone is right in some ways, but in some ways mistaken. Honest, faithful to his comrades, Steve has reason not to trust the world leaders who wish to control superheroes. In his memory, the memories of how the organization “.AND.T."It turned out to be almost half consisting of" Hydra "spies. On the other hand, the irresponsible actions of the Avengers have more than once led to the victims, so they had to be called to order for a long time.
► Heroes have real motives: it is easy to believe that because of such things you can lose your head and fill some muzzle for some.
The problem is that Tony Stark Marvel Kinovoyenoye is the last one to support the government. Yes, in the comics it was he who was a supporter of the act of control. But in films, Tony's relations with the state are clearly illustrated by the scene from "Iron Man 2". Remember? A meeting of the government commission, where Tony Stark sends air kisses to officials, destroying their hopes to get the armor of the iron man. Even now, when Tony seemed to have advocated control of superheroes, this did not affect his behavior. Rushing in pursuit of the cap of Cap, Stark and his supporters act as recklessly as before, without caring about the side damage.
Therefore, it is good that Steve and Tony gave another reason for a quarrel: much easier to believe that they had a fight because of Bucky Barnes. The old army comrade cap on the run, a hunt was declared at him, and Rogers, risking everyone, saves a friend. And Stark believes that the winter soldier is obliged to be responsible for his crimes, regardless of whether his brains are washed or not. Moreover, it is Bucky who suspect the deaths of Tony's parents.
► And the truth is why the authorities should release the terrorist under honestly?
If the motives of Rogers and Stark are clear, then everything is not so clear with the rest of the “confrontation”. It is logical that the old comrades of Baki and the Falcon supported Steve, and Rowdy and Vichen – Tony. But the rest could easily change the camp – they should neither Kap nor Starku. It seems that the heroes were scattered around so that the forces were approximately equal.
But something should be given to the scriptwriters in some way: almost every character received his little star hour. There are no statists among them. Much attention is paid to new heroes, especially Spider-Man and Black Panther. From the volume of Holland, a great spider turned out to be organically poured into the Marvel film.
But the black panther causes conflicting feelings. T’alla looks impressive and confidently confidently, but most of the film he rushes and shouts: “Give https://sister-site.org/fancy-reels/ me him, I will avenge him now!", And in the final suddenly begins to talk about mercy and forgiveness, and this raises questions.
► Black Panther: solid, but inconsistent.
The trailers of "confrontations" left a secret a decent share of the plot. Yes, the disagreement between the captain and Stark in the foreground, but the film also has a real villain – in the person of the Baron Helmut Zemo, played by German actor Daniel Bruil. Zemo, perhaps, is the most unusual antagonist. He cannot be called one hundred percent villain, because the reasons for his hatred of the Avengers are quite reasonable. True, they are disclosed only in the final, and this is one of the main shortcomings of the film. For too long, you have to watch how this plain man is incomprehensible why it kills, tortures and deceives.
The main advantage of the film was the game of Chris Evans and Robert Dauni Jr. Despite all the efforts of the scriptwriters, the audience would never believe in the disagreement of the former comrades, not being able to Evans and Dauni to play it reliably.
And the actors managed one hundred percent. Therefore, although in the logic of the actions of both characters, if you wish, you can find the gaps, I do not want to find fault at all. Separately praise the final fight full of emotions, where everyone perfectly understands that in front of him is an old comrade, but can no longer stop.
At height and directorial work. Rousseau brothers shot a dynamic, full of humor and not leaving anyone indifferent a film with a mass of spectacular scenes. The battle of the two teams at the airport is an exemplary example of how a fight of superheroes should be set. Each character knows its place, fully uses its advantages and suffers due to its shortcomings.
Unfortunately, this is the only real battle of “confrontation”, after which most heroes are forced to leave the system. The “Civil War” is so lacking in the scope that it would rather suit the name “Friendly brawl in the bar”. It does not sound so deliciously, but much closer to the truth.
► Battle at the airport is one of the best in superhero cinema. It is a pity that she is so alone here.
The “confrontation” contained a huge army of characters, brought together several plot lines and does not make the impression of a prolonged one, but too many ideas turned out to be undeveloped. The film is playing with interesting and original ideas, but does not use them all over their power. Floating prison for superheroes? Flickered in a pair of personnel. The threat of Secretary General Ross to use the army to hunt for the captain? Will remain empty words. The list can be continued.
But even this confrontation is one of the best superhero films of recent years, which surpasses both the Era of Ultron and Batman vs Superman. And if the creators were more careful and spectacular to treat the material in their hands, the price would not be the price.
A dramatic and dynamic film, but its potential, alas, was not fully realized.
