20 Best Movie Moments Of 2016

2. Captain America: Civil War – Airport Battle

Arrival Amy Adams
Marvel

Hailed as one of the best superhero movies of all time and ranking as the year’s highest grossing film, there’s no doubt of Captain America: Civil War’s popularity, and it owes a large part of its success to its climactic fight scene. The blistering battle between the fractured Avengers takes place at Germany’s Leipzig/Halle Airport – kudos to whoever sorted out the logistics for that – and despite being an epic 15 minutes long, it’s so action-packed that it never gets tedious.

It’s not just all fights, explosions and cars flying through the air either – there’s some genuinely funny and emotional parts to the battle too. It’s a scene made all the more powerful by the fact the fighting isn’t between sworn enemies but between former friends and allies and a perfect prelude to the forthcoming Avengers: Infinity War.
