Critics are Praising Captain America: Civil War After First Screening
Last night, Captain America: Civil War was screened for the first time for members of the Los Angeles press who are attending a press junket this weekend.
While the embargo ensures no full reviews will appear until April 13, when the film screens as CinemaCon Las Vegas, Twitter has seen various reactions to the superhero epic, and they're singing the praises of the Russo brothers' political and superhero slog.
Various Tweets highlight Tom Holland's Spider-Man, as well as claiming Black Panther to be a success, and the most serious part of the film. Praise is also being heaped on that airport action sequence teased in trailers, which from the Tweets is sounding like an action set piece to be remembered.Here are a handful of Tweets to give us a taste:
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!

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.

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

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

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
