Civil War is the best Marvel Studios movie yet. There, we said it. First, and most importantly, it does what the best Marvel films do: juggling multiple characters so each is allowed its moment in a story that pushes forward the series’ overall continuity, while also forming and concluding its own cogent plot.
So here Scarlet Witch ( Elisabeth Olsen) wrestles with the consequences of her immense power; Vision ( Paul Bettany) starts getting to grips with being ‘human’; Black Widow ( Scarlett Johansson) finds herself torn when the battle line is drawn; and supposed retiree Hawkeye ( Jeremy Renner) just can’t stay out of the fight.
