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

5. It Isn't Flawless

If you thought the critical response on Twitter was a whitewash of positivity, you'd be wrong. Despite seeing reviews as high as 9.8 out of 10, there are those who freely admit that the film is not perfect. So it seems the inevitable dismissal of the reception by DC fanboys as empty Marvel love will have to wait.

It seems there's a general consensus that it's simply not as good as The Winter Soldier. But then, as benchmarks go, the Russos MCU debut was incredibly good, so it's no great defeat to not quite reach those heights again.

IGN's Chris Tilly meanwhile had specific complaints about Baron Zemo and the film's over-stuffed character roster.
