Looking forward to it, the reactions are a nice boost of confidence but I'll mostly go blind into the movie because of track record which has been pretty good overall.
I mean I enjoyed all the movies I went to, only skipped out on the cinemas for Thor 2 and Iron Man 2. And since I'm not in the Age of Ultron(I like both avengers movies about equally to me they both have good and bad, only edge the first one had for me was being a true event) hate camp seems like a pretty safe bet.

the fact that they are allowing social media impressions this early and lifting the full review embargo almost a month out says a lot, though.
disney knows they have a home run on their hands. I believe that the Russos will deliver.
but these twitter fingers gotta chill with the "best spidey of all time" and "reminds me of the GOAT spidey 2" talk

Fan impressions vs critic impressions, critics are what killed BvS, critics are saying Civil War is good, it seems very likely Civil War is getting a high certified fresh score
Nope, but it never hurts to set your expectation low.
Alright...here's critic early impression for AoU;

Interesting to note these are mostly "geeky" sites. I haven't seen anything from the likes of EW, Variety, Guardian, LA Times, etc.
I'm not sure if their critics typically post personal responses on their accounts or if they're just waiting until Wednesday to publish their review. Or if they even saw it.

Damn it, why can't MCU have a decent villain that doesn't go to waste? Why they gotta waste Daniel Bruhl's talents?
Has anyone said what the runtime is?
I should see Spider-Man 2 again cus as a kid I was kind of disappointed with it.
Dr. Octopus is to blame, I think, he just looks so goddamn stupid.
Even as a kid I couldn't take this shit seriously.

Loki? They are great on the TV side.

Alright...here's critic early impression for AoU;
haha I remember all of those impressions talking about hawkeye for some reason
i don't even remember a single fucking thing hawkeye did in that movie
besides have a family
him shooting ant man on his arrow from the civil war trailer >>>>>>>>> AoU
89 is what Winter Soldier got, that should be the floor

Everything can't always be perfect.
No way that's gonna happen. Winter Soldier was a Winter Miracle.
It'll probably still be pretty good, though.

Based on the early AoU impressions (a lot of which came from the same people), let's be conservative and set 75% as the floor.
My guess is this comes in somewhere between the two, maybe 83-85
no u
These rapid fire early reactions are the modus operandi of enthusiast sites, so it's not that strange to not see anything from the more respected publications.
Praying that he's not a one and done villain.

Woah now. Doc Ock is one of the GOAT comic movie villains.
TV gives them time to develop villains. In the movies there's two hours and they want to push the main heroes as much as possible.
Not an excuse, just what they focus on. They just don't care about villains. We know movies can do great villains and heroes. I'll take the aforementioned Doc Ock over any of the MCU's movie villains so far.
Do you have a picture of the early impressions from professional critics instead of random fans?
The power of the sun... in the palm of my hand!

Yeah, certainly not bad news.
But will refrain from any RT prognosticating till we hear from Variety/Vulture/THR and the likes.

Hearing about Black Panther being the most serious character that's full of rage is making me feel ecstatic.
Need to see how savage he is.

These are critics/top critics, those are internet ransoms. Big difference
Wonder Woman in BvS or Quicksilver in DoFP.
Others seems to be saying he has more character and more utility though.

To be fair they did the same with Age of Ultron and that movie didn't turn out so well, at least in my opinion.
Early impressions are never a surefire thing for any movie anyway, but it's better that there is good impressions from critics rather than bad ones.

Doc Ock is better than the majority of MCU villains, tbh. Only Loki comes close.

These early impressions seem more positive than AoU.
I just read those AoU impressions and yeah, they are surprisingly tepid, at best.
But as always, best to remain skeptic and lower your expectations.
I'm trying to remember how many main supervillains changed their ways at the end.

Interested to watch the film but one thing I have have zero expectations on is the villain.
Outside of Loki, Marvel have had some of the worst villains I've ever seen in comic book movies and I don't expect this film to change tradition.

Sounds promising, but early impressions don't mean a whole lot. As for the RT score, I'm gonna guess around 80% at least. AoU got a 75% while Winter Soldier got a 89%. Plus with Marvel lifting the actual embargo as early as they're planning to, clearly they're confident in Civil War's quality.

Does THR/Variety etc even do instant social media reactions?
Anyways reviews comes out in a couple of days

True, I remember the AOU impressions and kept on seeing words like 'busy', 'stuffed', 'bloated' in a fair number of them.
Any movie that lifts review embargoes out this early from release usually is a sign of confidence. I'm trying to keep my hype level in check as first impressions are almost always positive, but dang it's hard not to get hype! I hope CW lives up to TWS. More Cap3 and less Avengers 2.5 please.

Seems like Spidey is more than a 2 minute cameo. Thank goodness.
