Black Panther, aka T’Challa-subject of an upcoming Ryan Coogler solo movie-is defined by his righteous anger over an injustice perpetrated against his family and his nation, and that’s exactly where the character needs to be for this film. Nor does this story require much more of Ant-Man (Paul Rudd) but that he act starstruck by Tony and Cap and the gang and try too hard. There’s not much this film needs to say about Peter Parker except that he’s a lovable wise-ass spider-teen who lives with his Aunt May (51-year old Marisa Tomei, looking more like Aunt February) and has only been slinging web for six months. We know a lot about the established characters by now. I’ve seen reviews complaining that no character gets enough screen time, but to me the distribution felt just about right. Reuniting the Cap creative team of directors Joe and Anthony Russo and screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, “Civil War” gets better as it goes along, both as an action movie and a sprawling ensemble. All that said, this is a satisfying film that takes its characters but not itself seriously, and mixes sequences of wonder, visual wit and pathos in with the world-building and dramatic housekeeping.
