Disclosure:  Disney provided me with a product to facilitate this post.  The words and opinions expressed in this review are strictly of my own.

Marvel’s Captain America Civil War arrived on Blu-ray 3D, Blu-ray, DVD and On-Demand on Sept. 13!  Marvel fans flocked to the theaters giving the movie the fifth-biggest domestic opening of all time, earning more than $1.14 billion at the worldwide box office.  If you missed the epic movie at the theaters, now you can bring home the years’ biggest blockbuster on Blu-ray and join in the action packed fun and pick your side!  Would you choose Team Cap, commanded by Steve Rogers (Chris Evans), or Team Iron Man, led by Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.)?

I’m on Team Cap!

I received Marvel’s Captain America Civil War on Blu-ray and was able to watch the film uninterrupted!  The movie is action packed right from the beginning and moves quickly!  Unlike Marvel’s Avenger’s Age of Ultron (which I found hard to follow and was a disappointment) Captain America Civil War kept me glued to my seat with intense superhero conflict and high entertaining combat scenes. The movie is fantastic throughout!  Even Rotten Tomatoes gave the film a 90% approval rating!

Marvel’s Captain America Civil War is the sequel to 2011’s Captain America: The First Avenger and 2014’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier.  It is the 13^th film of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and a definite must see.

No spoilers—the storyline opens up in the past of 1991 where James “Bucky” Barnes (the Winter Soldier) is being reactivated from a Hydra base in Siberia to intercept an automobile carrying a case of serum.  Then the movie jumps to present day as a team of Avengers stop a villain from stealing a biological weapon from a lab in Lagos.

During the attack, Wanda uses her telekinesis abilities to deflect a blast into a nearby building that accidentally causes humanitarian worker casualties.  The deaths are the icing on the cake for the United Nations (UN) and the call for government control over the Avengers through the Sokovia Accords is set in motion.

Not all of the Avengers agree with the government controlling their actions and it causes a division between them.  Then things escalate further over how to handle the Winter Soldier.  Rogers and Stark assemble their own teams of Avengers and conflict within begins.

Not giving away too much, fans get introduced to the Black Panther in Captain America: Civil War.  Additionally, Ant-Man is also recruited along with Spiderman who gets a cool super-suit upgrade!  You also learn some interesting secrets which act as the main source of the rift between Captain America (Chris Evans) and Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.).  Absent appearances from Thor and Hulk make the movie seem a bit incomplete, but I can’t see how they could have actually tied the characters within the movie.

Of course Stan Lee makes his cameo appearance towards the end of the film in an epically hilarious scene.  In my opinion, it is one of his best yet!

Keep watching past the credits, so you don’t miss the additional important footage of the movie!
