Too late for that. I may or may not have been getting in a heated Team Cap vs Team Iron man text message debate while in the ultrasound waiting room...
Crowfoot is the worst theater I've ever been to, live 30 seconds from it but I'll just drive to Chinook instead. Not paying for my spine to be arranged by the torture devices resembling chairs at Crowfoot.
With Spider-Man, as seen in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.

Ahead of its domestic release, "Captain America: Civil War" has already crossed the $200 million mark globally. Variety reports that the film has pulled in $261.6 million overseas since opening in international markets last week. "Civil War" debuts in the United States tomorrow with preview night screenings tonight
Apparently, Marvel just about sold the rights for Cap to WB and Thor to Sony as well back in that 03-09 stretch. We are very lucky they didn't.

Ant-man. Spot on comic relief/character impact. Still a little sad that it's not Pym, but getting over it.
Spiderman. Actually seemed like Spiderman. First time ever.
Vision. Wearing a sweater, being a homebody. Nice interaction with Wanda.
All of the characters were strong, no one stood out as a weak link. Introductions of Panther and Spidey should mean that they skip origin stories altogether in their stand alone movies. Please.
Marisa Tomei never ages.
Things that I could have wished were better :
Spoiler!
A little more bitterness. Or at least animosity between people that really didn't know each other. Panther should have unleashed the fury at the beginning.
A little less action. It sounds strange, but a slower buildup would have sat better with me. They all wailed away on each other so much, it kind of lowered the impact.
They kept insinuating that someone would die...
Spoiler!
and it was Crossbones! Did anyone not reading comics even know who Crossbones was? It's the movie equivalent of running over a kitten.
Anyway, those were first thoughts. I did enjoy it. Maybe not as much as Winter Soldier, but I think that that one was written better. I will watch it again, and enjoy it again. Not a game changer, but solidly above Avengers Age of Ultron for me.
