Judge Dredd is just a badass character and Karl Urban does a great job portraying his emotional state with little more than his chin to work with.Īrguably the film could have done more to embrace the silly comic book world of Judge Dredd, but on the other hand this needed to distinguish itself from the earlier movie with Stallone.

Plenty have compared this to the martial arts flick 'The Raid' and for me Dredd's character-centred storytelling makes it by far the more engaging of the two. With Ex Machina having blown me away, perhaps it's not surprising that this awesome sci-fi action movie is also written by Alex Garland. A clear thematic narrative and heart lies beneath the gleefully violent surface. With Mark Millar's bad taste being reined in by Jane Goldman's in the adaptation stage, the final result is quite reminiscent of Ennis. When it comes to comics I've long been a Garth Ennis fan. The music contributes to the fast pace of this action-packed absurdly violent vision of the world of superheroes. The soundtrack is pretty awesome with a couple of tracks from The Prodigy and a surprising insertion of the theme from 28 Days Later.

Things get particularly crazy when our protagonist meets the professional killer Hit Girl, a young pre-teen brought up to be a deadly assassin and fight crime by her father Big Daddy. The film is very much a larger than life tale with lots of craziness all lovingly presented in bold colours. It's not so much a 'what if superheroes were real?' story as it is a 'wouldn't it be crazy if superheroes were real?' story. The film presents the story of an ordinary kid who decides to become a superhero. Matthew Vaughn is one of my favourite directors and he has never made a film I didn't like, but he actually had a surprising amount of trouble releasing this spoof superhero movie. Despite not being centred around comedy, this may actually be my favourite Marvel Studios film. The success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is baffling but personally I find it hard not to respect at this stage.įight scenes are well-choreographed, effects are impressive, there's still humour even if it isn't the main focus, yet perhaps for the first time in a Marvel movie the drama is the most impressive element.

In a movie series which has now reached its 13th instalment after just 8 years, it's amazing that quality has remained as consistent as it has. Cap seems to recognise gray areas now and his principles are challenged more than ever before. Captain America's naivety still annoys me (and I find it seriously puzzling considering he's meant to have first hand experience of the horrors of WWII warfare), but here Cap's naivety is both acknowledged as well as reduced. I was genuinely siding with one 'team' just watching the trailer, but surprisingly I didn't spend the movie just shaking my head at the other team. There are mainly victims here, with Spider-Man being perhaps one of the least angsty characters for a change. But there's no straightforward Loki figure, doing terrible things for approval or personal glory. Certainly there is at least one character who does terrible things and could be seen as a villain as a result. Interestingly, the film technically has no villains. There's a political thriller storyline here that is remarkably subtle for a superhero film. But the response is not to simply get angry with one another.

A feud develops between the superheroes based on reactions to deaths caused by their crime-fighting antics. The central premise is pretty similar to that of the recent Batman Vs Superman film. This time around the final scenes are genuinely character driven.Īnd actually the character drama as a whole is remarkably compelling. Andrew Garfield was a lot of fun in the role, but any appearance by Spider-Man in the big central fight scene is dedicated to him being funny (and his opponents complaining that he talks too much - which is new to Spider-Man movies.)Īnother cool thing is that the big cluttered spectacle fight is in the middle of the film.

Still, it should be no surprise that my favourite aspect of Civil War is Spider-Man finally having free reign to be funny. I've generally judged the Marvel movies based on the amount of humour and Captain America: Civil War isn't as centred around comedy as my favourites like Iron Man 3 or Thor 2. Worst thing: Sharon Carter and Captain America have an entirely unearned unromantic kiss because the comics continuity needs them to.

Best thing: Spider-Man bringing the humour
