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

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

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

First things first: we finally have the perfect Spider-Man and the greatest Peter Parker.
The movie is bigger in scale than WINTER SOLDIER but is so much more personal. The stakes are incredibly emotional.
Next: Black Panther is incredible. Boseman plays him as both regal and full of rage. The most serious character in the film.

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

Captain America #CivilWar featured fantastic character driven writing & smart directing with both intense action & emotional moments as well
Spider-Man was excellently played in #CivilWar. His function in the story, plus the correct amount of humor made it really pitch perfect

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

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.

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.
Zemo is another wasted Marvel villain whose scheme is, while not as crazy as Lex's, isn't much more coherent or less convoluted
Spider-Man is both the best & most expendable part of Civil War. I want to see more of him & movie never recovers from him leaving it
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

The superhero movie Civil War most reminded me of was Spider-man 2. Will have more on Tuesday? I think?
(As per usual, this mostly means, “Todd cares about boring structural stuff a lot, while you may not,” but it’s good! I promise!)

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