The Early 'Captain America: Civil War' Reviews Are Spectacular

Spider-Man. Black Panther. The Airport scene. Prepare to be talking about them after you see "Captain America: Civil War."

Cap's third solo (sort of) movie isn't arriving in theaters until May 6, so it's a wee bit too early to be checking Rotten Tomatoes for official reviews. However, some critics got to see the movie almost a month early, and shared brief reactions on Twitter. Long story short: They loved it. Granted, screening audiences tend to be overly enthusiastic, but they got pretty specific (and consistent) about what they loved, while avoiding any spoilers:

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

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

Tom Holland is the greatest Peter Parker and Spider-Man ever put to screen. It made me bawl. #CaptainAmericaCivilWar

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

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

Black Panther is amazing and Boseman excels here. The most serious character in the film and not in a bad way. #CaptainAmericaCivilWar

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.

The movie is bigger in scale than WINTER SOLDIER but is so much more personal. The stakes are incredibly emotional.

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.

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

So they kinda liked it, huh?

Anthony Mackie (Falcon) said this was Marvel's best movie to date and the first to maybe even be worthy of a Best Picture nomination. Too much hype? Maybe. Chris Evans was at the MTV Movie Awards over the weekend to show off the first full clip from the movie, featuring Cap, Falcon, and Scarlet Witch. Watch that over here and prepare to judge the film for yourself next month.
