Last night the first screening of Captain America: Civil War happened in LA. No, we weren’t there, but a whole bunch of critics were and at 7am this morning our time, the social embargo dropped and a few shared their first impressions.
Across the board, the movie is getting praised, with Chadwick Boseman‘s Black Panther and Tom Holland‘s Spider-Man getting the most specific comments. The airport scene, that’s been teased in every trailer, is being heralded as the greatest superhero action scene in cinema. Big statement, but more than believable from the minds behind Captain America: Winter Soldier!
Check out some of the choice tweets below:
First things first: we finally have the perfect Spider-Man and the greatest Peter Parker.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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