    Default (Rumor) How long is Peter/Spider-Man in Captain America: Civil War? (Potential spoilers)

    http://www.comicbookmovie.com/captai...parker-a137282

    After early viewings of Captain America: Civil War, people were curious as to how big an appearance Spider-Man actually would have.

    The answer is apparently half an hour. About 10 minutes of Peter Parker and around 20 minutes of Spider-Man.

    Spidey's also a highlight of the movie.

    Default Reviews are in for Tom Holland's Spider-Man

    There was a positive reaction to Tom Holland's performance in Captain America: Civil War from people who saw it on twitter. But if you're concerned that this was just guys on twitter, and not professional critics, this excerpt from gamesradar's five star review is reassuring.

    Better yet is Marvel’s all-new Spider-Man. In a surprisingly substantial appearance, 19-year-old Tom Holland not only makes a case for being the best screen Spidey so far, but also threatens to steal the entire film. His Peter Parker is perfect – nervy, goofy and instantly endearing. In the airport fight however he's truly spectacular, holding his own against the best the MCU has to offer, using his webs in entertaining and creative ways, while his motor-mouthed (and charmingly naive) wisecracking couldn’t be better. spoilers:
    “There’s usually not this much talk,” says Falcon. You’ll be grateful there is, and desperate to see more of Holland’s sensational web-slinger the moment you leave the cinema.
    end of spoilers

    This is exactly the reception that Marvel and Sony needed after the... let's say "controversial decision" to reboot the Spider-Man film franchise again.

    Very encouraging; yes, I can't wait to see it and feel assured that they will finally get it right third time around!

    I wasn't quite sure about Holland's performance from that one bit we got at the end of the trailer, but I'm happy to hear that he really steals the show, and gets the character right, as well as that Spidey's trademark wise-cracking is there in full-force .

    Some more...

    From Empire Magazine...

    Then there are the new recruits: Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman, playing it gravelly and furrow-browed), nimble protector of a secretive African nation who has his own beef with Bucky; and a quippy kid from Queens (Tom Holland) who crawls up walls in a red-and-blue outfit and can shoot webs at people. His introduction to the action is resoundingly joyous, the reboot the character truly deserves. (“I don’t know if you’ve been in a fight before,” he’s told by one opponent, “but there’s not usually this much talk.”)
    It’s even bolder that the conflict at the film’s heart doesn’t pander to genre convention and become sidetracked by a grandstanding supervillain plot. And this is the second way Civil War earns our ‘Greatest Marvel Yet’ accolade: by rising above the series’ greatest weakness. Too often, the snappy writing and slick action in these films is undermined by flimsy big bads and formulaic final acts. Yet there is no Loki or Ultron (or, for that matter, Lex Luthor) equivalent this time. Not a whiff of Thanos, or any more of those forgettable Marvel sub-baddies with ‘The’ for a middle name. There is a meddling manipulator — of course there is — but, interestingly, their agenda is as blurred as Steve’s and Tony’s. Arguably just as sympathetic, too. Directors Joe and Anthony Russo don’t just want to rocket your heart into your mouth with their action sequences, which have the tight choreography of a Greengrass Bourne, and the brutal flair of a Gareth Evans rumble; they want to keep your brain firmly engaged, too.

    Who needs a villain when you have Steve and Tony? Both protagonists. Both antagonists. And drawing other power-people to their cause in surprising ways. The clashes go far beyond the set-up squabbles of Avengers Assemble. Or even that other big 2016 superhero showdown. Forget Batman v Superman. Here you get spoilers:
    Ant-Man v Spider-Man, Hawkeye v Black Widow, Scarlet Witch v Vision, The Winter Soldier v Black Panther and (well, duh) Captain America v Iron Man, all rolled into one.
    end of spoilers And that is what you call the ultimate Marvel superhero event.
    From Variety...

    The shaming of “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” will continue apace — or better still, be forgotten entirely — in the wake of “Captain America: Civil War,” a decisively superior hero-vs.-hero extravaganza that also ranks as the most mature and substantive picture to have yet emerged from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
    Not that it will come as much of a surprise to anyone with a degree in MCU studies that “Civil War’s” roster of fighters includes the first big-screen incarnation of T’Challa/Black Panther (a striking Chadwick Boseman), as well as the latest incarnation of Spider-Man, with the plucky young British actor Tom Holland (“The Impossible,” “In the Heart of the Sea”) donning the nervous, nerdy mien of Peter Parker to terrifically scene-stealing effect. We may be watching a series of trailers for these characters’ stand-alone projects, but they’re damn good trailers, and they dutifully uphold the playful egalitarian spirit that defines the Marvel comic-book universe.
    From the Hollywood Reporter...

    Yet another cross-brand introduction, however transparent, takes shape as a comic set piece in Civil War. The terrific sequence involves Stark’s recruitment of a certain New Yorker named Peter Parker, and Tom Holland’s agile performance bodes well for next year’s Spider-Man reboot. That scene is tipped by the spoilers:
    appearance of the screen title “Queens” — itself a nice joke after the film’s succession of globe-hopping locales. From that Forest Hills apartment to Tony Stark’s modernist lair to the cold metallic grunge of a floating prison, Owen Paterson’s assured production design, enhanced by the effects team's polished work, gives vivid form to the Avengers’ world, whether they're saving it or leaving it in a bit of a mess.
    end of spoilers
    Sincerely,
