Fans, critics and comic-book guys have gotten their first looks at “Captain America: Civil War” and the initial buzz is very good. Here are some of the first reactions.
“Just home from Captain America: Civil War. It is SPECTACULAR!!!” tweeted “Deadpool” creator Rob Liefeld. “Great twists and turns throughout the film. It really is a total blast. Go in with as little info as possible. You’ll be amazed!!”
“I believe it is Marvel’s best movie to date. And that’s saying something,” Liefeld added, who also tweeted: “BLACK PANTHER!!!!! ‘Nuff said.”
“If you’re a ‘Winter Soldier’ fan, you’re going to love ‘Captain America: Civil War.’ Also it’s going to be the biggest movie of the year,” tweeted Ed Brubaker, a longtime “Captain America” comics scribe, including during Marvel’s “Civil War” storyline.
Brubaker got hundreds of retweets for that comment, but not as many when he hedged: “Until ‘Star Wars: Rogue One,’ at least.”
“Well the world premiere of Captain America: Civil War was amazing!!! … It’s a much watch!” tweeted singer/songwriter Mikey Bromley.
“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” tweeted i09’s Germain Lussier.
“Get excited for @CaptainAmerica #CivilWar Fantastic Characters, Amazing Action AND it contains the best comic book movie fight EVER,” tweeted Honest Trailers creator Andy Signore.
“Really incredible character work in #CivilWar. Spider-Man, Ant-Man & Black Panther kill it & Wanda/Vision & Bucky/Sam dynamics are wonderful,” tweeted Cinemablend’s Eric Eisenberg.
