The First Reactions To CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR Say It's Incredible; "SPIDER-MAN Steals The Show"

I liked it.

— Mike Ryan (@mikeryan) April 9, 2016

First things first: we finally have the perfect Spider-Man and the greatest Peter Parker.

— nived (@devincf) April 9, 2016

‘Captain America: Civil War’ is so good, it’s a better Avengers movie than the last Avengers movie.

— Mike Sampson (@mjsamps) April 9, 2016

Captain America: Civil War is a complex mystery posing a big, fun superhero film. Lots of themes and emotions. Very unexpected & VERY good.

— Germain Lussier (@GermainLussier) April 9, 2016

#CaptainAmericaCivilWar falls into a lot of the same traps as #BvS, but it's a lot more fun. What we get of #SpiderMan is played perfectly.

— William Bibbiani (@WilliamBibbiani) April 9, 2016

Next: Black Panther is incredible. Boseman plays him as both regal and full of rage. The most serious character in the film.

— nived (@devincf) April 9, 2016

I honestly don't know how Civil War works. There's so much going on but it does. Spidey is AMAZING. Made me smile & laugh till my face hurt

— Germain Lussier (@GermainLussier) April 9, 2016

I’m trying not to talk about ‘Civil War’ by comparing it to BvS, but it’s hard. It succeeds because it's exactly what that film is not: FUN.

— Mike Sampson (@mjsamps) April 9, 2016

The big battle scene in #CivilWar is an absolute blast. Spider-Man, as you'd expect, steals the show. Ant-Man, as you might not, a close 2nd

— Mike Sampson (@mjsamps) April 9, 2016

CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR is literally going to make all the money.

— Steven Weintraub (@colliderfrosty) April 9, 2016

#CaptainAmericaCivilWar delivers the goods. Endless Avenger v Avenger action. Tense and still funny. Boseman kills it as Black Panther.

— Kevin Polowy (@djkevlar) April 9, 2016

Civil War and BvS tackle some of the same themes and have similar beats, yet Cap works because we know and care about these characters.

— Mike Sampson (@mjsamps) April 9, 2016

The plot has problems in #CaptainAmericaCivilWar, no doubt about it. So do the plots of most superhero movies. But when it's fun, it's FUN.

— William Bibbiani (@WilliamBibbiani) April 9, 2016

CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR is a Barry Bonds steroids hitting home-run by Marvel & Russo Brothers. And I LOVED Spider-Man in the film. LOVED.

— Steven Weintraub (@colliderfrosty) April 9, 2016

Here is my #captainamericacivilwar #civilwar emoji pic.twitter.com/HbJvVYrdzQ

— KristianHarloff (@KristianHarloff) April 9, 2016

The movie is bigger in scale than WINTER SOLDIER but is so much more personal. The stakes are incredibly emotional.

— nived (@devincf) April 9, 2016

Oh yeah, the big fight in Captain America: Civil War is cinematic joy. And Spider-Man is so great. He's in it more than I thought he'd be.

— Mike Ryan (@mikeryan) April 9, 2016

There are things in #CaptainAmericaCivilWar I thought I'd never get to see on the big screen when I was a kid. It's worth watching.

— William Bibbiani (@WilliamBibbiani) April 9, 2016

You have only seen 1% of the airport fight. The action is incredible. There's a staircase fight that turns into a chase that's an all timer.

— nived (@devincf) April 9, 2016

So to wrap it up: it's not perfect, but it's a blast. Better than Age of Ultron. Not as cohesive as Winter Soldier. #CaptainAmericaCivilWar

— William Bibbiani (@WilliamBibbiani) April 9, 2016

Just saw @CaptainAmerica Civil War!!! Wow! Spider-Man Rocks! Best Action Sequences in any superhero film EVER! pic.twitter.com/5uTdpYvFw6

— Jon Schnepp (@JonSchnepp) April 9, 2016

Finally: the last fight between Steve and Tony is unlike anything you've seen in a Marvel movie. They're both right. You just want them

— nived (@devincf) April 9, 2016

to stop fighting. It packs a serious emotional punch.

— nived (@devincf) April 9, 2016

I'll also admit, after 1 viewing, I have some small issues with the film. I'm guessing they'll shrink after a 2nd viewing to unpack them tho

— Germain Lussier (@GermainLussier) April 9, 2016

Chadwick Boseman is fantastic as Black Panther. Can't wait to see his solo film. He absolutely nailed the role.

— Steven Weintraub (@colliderfrosty) April 9, 2016

What we thought of Captain America: Civil War pic.twitter.com/4s0Mn5wxxs

— John Campea (@johncampea) April 9, 2016

I'm pretty sure Captain America: Civil War is my favorite Marvel movie.

— Mike Ryan (@mikeryan) April 9, 2016

I lied. One last last thing: this movie plays like a repudiation of BATMAN V SUPERMAN. A devastating reply.

— nived (@devincf) April 9, 2016

I don't want to drop any #CaptainAmericaCivilWar spoilers but have to get off my chest that I'm pretty sure Vision shops at Banana Republic.

— Kevin Polowy (@djkevlar) April 9, 2016

I didn't see CIVIL WAR tonight -- Tuesday in Vegas -- but my Marvel direct-deposit just hit so what the hell, it's AMAZING OMFG

— Josh Lincoln Dickey (@JLDlite) April 9, 2016

CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR has such incredible action set pieces because you care about the people fighting. It's not just punching bad guys

— Steven Weintraub (@colliderfrosty) April 9, 2016

I could go on all night with this but one last thing. The airport scene in Civil War is probably the best superhero action scene ever.

— Germain Lussier (@GermainLussier) April 9, 2016

for press screening they don't show any trailers. We did see one after the credits scene but Marvel usually holds the final one for release

— Steven Weintraub (@colliderfrosty) April 9, 2016

I have to admit it. Captain America: Civil War a letdown after the high of Winter Soldier. It's a better, smarter version of BvS.

— Jim Vejvoda (@JimVejvoda) April 9, 2016

Zemo is another wasted Marvel villain whose scheme is, while not as crazy as Lex's, isn't much more coherent or less convoluted

— Jim Vejvoda (@JimVejvoda) April 9, 2016

Spider-Man is both the best & most expendable part of Civil War. I want to see more of him

— Jim Vejvoda (@JimVejvoda) April 9, 2016

Big airport brawl is great fun & Civil War sort of limps to the finish line after that. Panther is very cool. Want to see more of him too

— Jim Vejvoda (@JimVejvoda) April 9, 2016

But I think between this & BvS I'm done with being reminded of superhero battle collateral damage. We've dealt with it.

— Jim Vejvoda (@JimVejvoda) April 9, 2016

Really didn't think I'd care *that* much seeing Spider-Man hanging out with all the other characters. But there he was and it made me happy!

— Mike Ryan (@mikeryan) April 9, 2016

Unsure if ppl will find Cap 3 as fun as trailers sell it. Tony was far more morose than I expected. Parts of movie work better than whole

— Jim Vejvoda (@JimVejvoda) April 9, 2016

Civil War is not a bad film at all. But it's not the great movie I'd hoped it would be. It's a good movie with many OK & a few great moments

— Jim Vejvoda (@JimVejvoda) April 9, 2016

CA:CW is fantastic. Flat out fantastic. Either my #2 or #3 favorite Marvel film so far. Better than BVS, not quite as good as Deadpool.

— John Campea (@johncampea) April 9, 2016

Winter Soldier had a better of a story, Civil War better action and set pieces... I'll give a SLIGHT nod to WS over CW, but CW is incredible

— John Campea (@johncampea) April 9, 2016

I cried tears of joy, okay? Tears of joy. #CaptainAmericaCivilWar

— Alex Welch (@AlexRWelch) April 9, 2016

Tom Holland is the greatest Peter Parker and Spider-Man ever put to screen. It made me bawl. #CaptainAmericaCivilWar

— Alex Welch (@AlexRWelch) April 9, 2016

Black Panther is amazing and Boseman excels here. The most serious character in the film and not in a bad way. #CaptainAmericaCivilWar

— Alex Welch (@AlexRWelch) April 9, 2016

It's the darkest Marvel movie yet, but it's emotionally dark. The scope is bigger, and the stakes are more personal than any Marvel film yet

— Alex Welch (@AlexRWelch) April 9, 2016

The airport sequence honest to God, might be the best thing I've ever seen in a superhero movie. Ever. You've only seen 1 tiny slice of it.

— Alex Welch (@AlexRWelch) April 9, 2016

I honestly think it might be Marvel's best movie to date. Their most ambitious to date and it succeeds in ways they've never done before.

— Alex Welch (@AlexRWelch) April 9, 2016

Imagine all of the best moments from The Avengers movies, on steroids and amplified.

— Alex Welch (@AlexRWelch) April 9, 2016

Everything that BVS did wrong, Civil War does right. Does so right.

— Alex Welch (@AlexRWelch) April 9, 2016

What BVS did to Superman, #CivilWar does the opposite to Spider-Man. Welcome home.

— Alex Welch (@AlexRWelch) April 9, 2016

Earns the Beat changes, the action, the banter, the high stakes moments. Doesn't disappoint #CaptainAmericaCivilWar

— Sabina Ibarra (@SabinaHasNoR) April 9, 2016

Was asked if the #CaptainAmericaCivilWar film was light or dark. The Russo Bros crafted a script that had great tonal range

— Sabina Ibarra (@SabinaHasNoR) April 9, 2016

@CaptainAmerica Civil War is straight up amazing. @Marvel has wowed me endlessly, but this is next-level. #CivilWar #TeamCap #Phase3

— Erik Van Sant (@ErikVanSantCBS5) April 9, 2016

just saw #CaptainAmericaCivilWar! That Airport fight tho!!!! AND SPIDERMAN THE BEST HE'S EVER BEEN!

— = K H A I L = (@KhailAnonymous) April 9, 2016

Seriously...this scene is the best thing ever done in a comic book movie! #CaptainAmericaCivilWar pic.twitter.com/zp0X6r7i6e

— = K H A I L = (@KhailAnonymous) April 9, 2016

Sorry Batman V Superman, but Civil War nailed hero vs hero tension...and had some fun with it.

— = K H A I L = (@KhailAnonymous) April 9, 2016

Yeah dude 100%, I never was super into Spider-Man, but this kid IS Spider-Man. https://t.co/W2P7jKp0zy

— = K H A I L = (@KhailAnonymous) April 9, 2016

At 8pm, WINTER SOLDIER was my favorite MCU film.

Roughly 2.5 hours later, CIVIL WAR is now #1.

Action masterpiece. SPIDER-MAN!!!#NerdTears

— Kevin McCarthy (@KevinMcCarthyTV) April 9, 2016

There is an airport action sequence in CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR that I would pay full price to see on loop for 3 hours.

Epic Nerd Tears!

— Kevin McCarthy (@KevinMcCarthyTV) April 9, 2016

So Captain America: Civil War is pretty good. Spider-Man and the airport brawl are pretty great.

— Chris Tilly (@TillyTweets) April 9, 2016

Black Panther is really, regally bad-ass.

— Chris Tilly (@TillyTweets) April 9, 2016

A superhero movie can definitely have too many characters.

— Chris Tilly (@TillyTweets) April 9, 2016

Did I say Spider-Man is great? Because Spider-Man is great. (Though feels like the retrofitted the movie to include him). Really great.

— Chris Tilly (@TillyTweets) April 9, 2016

You know how the villains aren't that great in the MCU? Yeah that.

— Chris Tilly (@TillyTweets) April 9, 2016

@CPThrio He's a major player in this and yet I wanted much more

— Germain Lussier (@GermainLussier) April 9, 2016

@juanselc97 Smaller roles, both good, Scott in particular

— Germain Lussier (@GermainLussier) April 9, 2016

@nazli_tan Yes

— Germain Lussier (@GermainLussier) April 9, 2016

@myfriendalex015 Wanda is complicated for reasons we can't talk about until people have seen it

— Germain Lussier (@GermainLussier) April 9, 2016

@therichfinley The movie has surprises

— Germain Lussier (@GermainLussier) April 9, 2016

@thababes I can say that he's in it and has a fun role to play

— Germain Lussier (@GermainLussier) April 9, 2016

@ptj007 He's incredibly cool and crucial to the story

— Germain Lussier (@GermainLussier) April 9, 2016

@SalilGarg25 Yes

— Germain Lussier (@GermainLussier) April 9, 2016

@davewburns Honestly, they all have their part to play. Some are much smaller than other but it serves the story. Gun to my head? Vision.

— Germain Lussier (@GermainLussier) April 9, 2016

@matt_S_1021 It has a ton of moving parts but somehow all comes together very well.

— Germain Lussier (@GermainLussier) April 9, 2016

@AustinChesshire In between.

— Germain Lussier (@GermainLussier) April 9, 2016

@jeromybme Throw out the comic. Forget about it. This just takes the title. Totally different.

— Germain Lussier (@GermainLussier) April 9, 2016

@jeromybme Not at all. It's much, much smaller than you're expecting story wise.

— Germain Lussier (@GermainLussier) April 9, 2016

@mendelrogueone It's got it all.

— Germain Lussier (@GermainLussier) April 9, 2016

@TylerCobaugh Yes sir.

— Germain Lussier (@GermainLussier) April 9, 2016

@zombie_midgey Second lead. Major major player.

— Germain Lussier (@GermainLussier) April 9, 2016

@ryandowney no

— nived (@devincf) April 9, 2016

@mikeryan yeah but there's no realistic way it's the same character. It's a thing they did in the credits. Has to be.

— nived (@devincf) April 9, 2016

Perhaps a bit late on Twitter, but Captain America: Civil War is the superheroes fighting superheroes movie we deserve and need right now.

— Adam B. Vary (@adambvary) April 9, 2016

CIVIL WAR: This Spider-Man is SPECTACULAR. pic.twitter.com/AUex8LkE9c

— Russ Fischer (@russfischer) April 9, 2016

#CaptainAmericaCivilWar was so good!! Spidey and Black Panther ftw! https://t.co/JyfcvAVW1K

— Dennis Tzeng (@ThinkHero) April 9, 2016

Now THAT was a movie, superhero or otherwise.

— The Rogue Juan (@juanmadpelicula) April 9, 2016

Nobody does action better than the Russo Brothers. I want to see #CivilWar again RIGHT NOW.

— The Rogue Juan (@juanmadpelicula) April 9, 2016

And BTW the movie goes dark and it still a fantastic fun time at the movies. #CivilWar

— The Rogue Juan (@juanmadpelicula) April 9, 2016

Thrilled to say that Captain America Civil War is a blast. Works great as a Cap 2 AND MCU sequel, and has Marvel's best action scene yet.

— Eric Eisenberg (@eeisenberg) April 9, 2016

Really incredible character work in #CivilWar. Spider-Man, Ant-Man & Black Panther kill it & Wanda/Vision & Bucky/Sam dynamics are wonderful

— Eric Eisenberg (@eeisenberg) April 9, 2016

Loved #CivilWar & you will too!

I'm driving so more soon

— Jeff Goldsmith (@yogoldsmith) April 9, 2016

Captain America #CivilWar featured fantastic character driven writing & smart directing with both intense action & emotional moments as well

— Jeff Goldsmith (@yogoldsmith) April 9, 2016

Spider-Man was excellently played in #CivilWar. His function in the story, plus the correct amount of humor made it really pitch perfect

— Jeff Goldsmith (@yogoldsmith) April 9, 2016

Marvel & Sony worked together & we got Spider-Man -- I kept thinking could Marvel & Fox ever work like that? Maybe Deadpool can show up!

— Jeff Goldsmith (@yogoldsmith) April 9, 2016

Some of the shots in this #CivilWar were so iconic I want still frame posters of them - really smart stuff.

— Jeff Goldsmith (@yogoldsmith) April 9, 2016

#CivilWar locks into place near perfectly as a companion to Winter Soldier while at the same time continuing on from Ultron & satisfied both

— Jeff Goldsmith (@yogoldsmith) April 9, 2016

It's not perfect... But it's far better than #Ultron & #BvS Every character gets a proper moment AND.We meet a great #SpiderMan #CivilWar

— Andy Signore (@andysignore) April 9, 2016

True Story... It's fun! https://t.co/LEwOcaOTnK

— Andy Signore (@andysignore) April 9, 2016

I can't wait to see #CivilWar again Soo many great characters. And that fight!! @Russo_Brothers know how to stage a proper superhero brawl 😎

— Andy Signore (@andysignore) April 9, 2016

Get excited for @CaptainAmerica #CivilWar Fantastic Characters, Amazing Action AND it contains the best comic book movie fight EVER. #Hype

@MacRamblerz31 No

@mistersinister1 Great

— John Campea (@johncampea) April 9, 2016

@KevFlicks smaller

— John Campea (@johncampea) April 9, 2016

@jordz8687 no

— Mike Ryan (@mikeryan) April 9, 2016

@PiggyBank824 Sort of. He says a couple of things in conversation.

— Mike Ryan (@mikeryan) April 9, 2016

@nialljohnn great

— Mike Ryan (@mikeryan) April 9, 2016

@Reverb_Ramon Great. They capture "domesticated Vision" very well.

— Mike Ryan (@mikeryan) April 9, 2016

@aasim_yousaf The latter. Not even close.

— Mike Ryan (@mikeryan) April 9, 2016

@GreaserDisguise Yes.

— Mike Ryan (@mikeryan) April 9, 2016

@Burkem6 great

— Steven Weintraub (@colliderfrosty) April 9, 2016

@Dave_DSG yes

— Steven Weintraub (@colliderfrosty) April 9, 2016

@snakexl yes

— Steven Weintraub (@colliderfrosty) April 9, 2016

@DowntownCastles you will be VERY happy

— Steven Weintraub (@colliderfrosty) April 9, 2016

@peachy007keen @DowntownCastles yes and yes

— Steven Weintraub (@colliderfrosty) April 9, 2016

@AustinChesshire he's def in the movie. it's not a cameo

— Steven Weintraub (@colliderfrosty) April 9, 2016

@joshmassey1 Yeah both scenes made the final cut

— Mike Sampson (@mjsamps) April 9, 2016

There was only one post-credits scene at 'Civil War' screening I saw (mid-credits). Assuming another will be added before release

— Mike Sampson (@mjsamps) April 9, 2016

@MarvelousRealm That's about right. Maybe 10 mins of Parker, a good 20 mins of Spidey.

— Mike Sampson (@mjsamps) April 9, 2016

@Pep1126 No

— Mike Sampson (@mjsamps) April 9, 2016

@NastyaShilyaev5 It's the soul of the movie

— Germain Lussier (@GermainLussier) April 9, 2016

@avengersavengin She's crucial to the story

— Germain Lussier (@GermainLussier) April 9, 2016

@TheSageMode 10% first one, 90% second one

— Germain Lussier (@GermainLussier) April 9, 2016

@LouBastian too many spoilers in your questions but the movie makes both sides, IM and Cap, equally valid.

— Germain Lussier (@GermainLussier) April 9, 2016

@A_E414 They do

— Germain Lussier (@GermainLussier) April 9, 2016

We have seen 'Captain America: Civil War' and it's incredible. #CaptainAmericaCivilWar
