MIX UP REVIEWS:


Jan (Age 12): ★★★★★

" I loved this film!!! I really enjoyed Iron man and Captain America clashing it was brilliant! Black Panther entering the MCU for the first time was amazing, I think he is my favourite marvel hero, Spiderman was also awesome. I was kinda sad when I realised that Thor and Hulk wouldn't be in this film. The original avengers; Hulk, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor, aren't the only ones. The new avengers are; Spiderman, Black Panther, Falcon, Captain America, Iron Man, Hawkeye, Black Widow, Ant-Man, Thor, and War Machine.

I don't want to ruin the movies for anyone so I won't say too much, but I will say that this film has the best action scenes I have seen so far. Next I'm watching Doctor Strange."


Stewart - ★★★★

" The Captain America films continue the kind of spy movie vibe which is a nice change from the rest, the big set piece is the big clash between the heroes which is all done very well. Tom Holland gets a nice introduction as Spider-Man and the cast are all pretty good, Robert Downey Jr in particular gets to stretch a bit more than usual with some conflicting emotions for Iron Man. The final fight is pretty epic as well. The in-between stuff is a bit dry but there's enough good actors in the cast to drive it on - hello Martin Freeman :)"
