Political pressure results in the government deciding to direct the team rather than letting them act on their own. This fractures the Avengers, resulting in two camps—one led by Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) who are not in favor of government interference, and the other following Tony Stark’s (RobertDowney Jr.) decision to support the government action.
There's really not much reason to write a review for a film like this. It has a built-in audience of comic book hero and action fans that will attend no matter what anyone says. And, for that crowd this is a perfectly acceptable film. It reintroduces us to the Avengers team again and lets us see them in plenty of action. That's all that crowd needs. For those who don't fit either of those categories, there's not much to see here in the way of a story. In fact the film has no plot progression whatever. What you have at the end is what you had when the film started, with a whole lot of fighting and CG in between. The average non-fan will find this way too long and a little on the boring side. To me the film seemed more of a place holder, a way to make a few hundred million without having to worry about something silly like a meaningful plot. I saw this in the 2D format but it looked to me as if the IMAX 3D would be pretty effective and that big screen would make the action even more impressive.
There are scenes both in the middle and at the end of the credits that fans will want to see. The bigger the screen the better. 2D Theatres/Times. 3D Theatres/Times. IMAX 3D Times.
