Over een kleine drie weken draait Anthony en Joe Russo's Captain America: Civil War in de Nederlandse bioscoopzalen. De film is ondertussen al aan critici (en fans) vertoond via vroege persvoorstellingen. Op Twitter verschenen iets wat wisselende, maar vooral positieve reacties zonder spoilers!
Laten we starten met de vele pluspunten. De nieuwe personages Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman) en vooral Spider-Man (Tom Holland) worden geprezen. Ook Ant-Man (Paul Rudd) zou indruk maken. Als te verwachten wordt de Marvel-superheldenfilm gezien als een humoristische film, met veel emoties maar ook onverwachte wendingen. Ook zou het de duisterste MCU-film tot op heden zijn. Ook het voornaamste gevecht op het vliegveld krijgt veel steun. We zouden van die scène nog maar 1% te zien hebben gekregen via de trailer.
Wat minder is dat het verhaal wat gebreken zou vertonen en ergens ook in de valkuil zou stappen van Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Er gebeurt namelijk zeer veel in de superheldenfilm welke overigens wel beter zou zijn dan Avengers: Age of Ultron, maar minder samenhangend is dan The Winter Soldier. Ook wordt aangegeven dat we opnieuw een wat matige Marvel slechterik kunnen verwachten.
Hieronder een greep uit de reacties van de critici, op Twitter. Vanaf 28 april in de Nederlandse filmtheaters.
I liked it.

First things first: we finally have the perfect Spider-Man and the greatest Peter Parker.

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

Zemo is another wasted Marvel villain whose scheme is, while not as crazy as Lex's, isn't much more coherent or less convoluted

#CaptainAmericaCivilWar falls into a lot of the same traps as #BvS, but it's a lot more fun. What we get of #SpiderMan is played perfectly.

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'm trying not to talk about 'Civil War' by comparing it to BvS, but it's hard. It succeeds because it's exactly what that film is not: FUN.

The plot has problems in #CaptainAmericaCivilWar, no doubt about it. So do the plots of most superhero movies. But when it's fun, it's FUN.

So to wrap it up: it's not perfect, but it's a blast. Better than Age of Ultron. Not as cohesive as Winter Soldier. #CaptainAmericaCivilWar

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

I'll also admit, after 1 viewing, I have some small issues with the film. I'm guessing they'll shrink after a 2nd viewing to unpack them tho

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.

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

Seriously...this scene is the best thing ever done in a comic book movie! #CaptainAmericaCivilWar pic.twitter.com/zp0X6r7i6e

There is an airport action sequence in CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR that I would pay full price to see on loop for 3 hours.
