Captain America: Civil War Reviews - 12 Early Reactions You Need To Know

3. It's Surprisingly Balanced

The issue of balance has been a big red warning alarm hanging over Civil War ever since it was first announced. It's such a sprawling event on the page that adaptation in a single film always looked difficult, and even with promised trims and narrower focus, having that many characters was always going to be a tough balancing act.

But luckily it seems that the film has pulled off the key issue in an unexpectedly successful way. As per Germain Lussier's reactions, the fact that it manages to keep so many balls in the air seems genuinely surprising.

Obviously Chris Tilly's assessment that the film has too much going on should be taken as something of a warning to anyone hoping it's completely perfect.
