Captain America: Civil War Reactions Are In, Here's What Critics Are Saying

After months of waiting, Captain America: Civil War finally started screening to select journalists ahead of the first stop on a lengthy global press tour. And because Marvel Studios seems confident in what Joe and Anthony Russo have cooked up, they have removed the socal media embargo, meaning Twitter became a hot-bed for Civil War reactions overnight.

So, what did critics and reporters think of Captain America’s third movie, and the first film in Marvel’s Phase Three of superhero epics? Our very own Eric Eisenberg was in attendance at an L.A. screening of Captain America: Civil War and had this to say about the anticipated film:

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’s holding a Cap shield in his hand, so you kind of knew he’d be open to liking it. But still, he went on to praise most of the characters NOT named Captain America, Tweeting:

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

Eric wasn’t alone. Germain Lussier at io9 Tweets:

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

Mike Sampson and ScreenCrush posts:

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

Adding:

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

And Mike Ryan at Uproxx sums it up with:

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