This movie failed to focus on a villain or a storyline despite its length. It felt like it was being used as an excuse to introduce new dynamics and catapult upcoming releases and potential projects (IDF woman, Bucky in Thunderbolts*, the new Falcon) rather than focusing on the Captain America character. Both the Winter Soldier & Falcon show as well as the trailers made it seem like this movie had specific intentions for the new Captain America, but the movie fell flat and didn't tell us anything we didn't already know about Sam. Despite the possible consequences, the villains wound up feeling low stakes and impersonal. The most interesting characters had the least screen time, and it was overall disappointing compared to the show that preceded it.

Considering the fact that the Captain America films have produced two of the best MCU films in Winter Soldier and Civil War, it is a shame that we are now left with this thoroughly mediocre and lazy fourth instalment.

Firstly, this film requires you to recall the events of a movie that came out in 2008. If you don't remember the events of this film, don't worry, as Brave New World is chock full of clunky exposition. It also requires you to remember the events of a show that came out in 2021. Without remembering some of these details, certain plot points just lose all their impact and don't carry much weight. Maybe my memory isn't what it used to be, and maybe I should have rewatched The Incredible Hulk and Falcon and the Winter Soldier before watching this, but who has the time for that.

Even ignoring these links to previous MCU instalments, the whole plot still feels incredibly messy and all over the place. There is a random collection of new characters all of whom get zero character development. Even Sam Wilson, Cap himself, gets no real development or journey in this film. It's an incredibly bland portrayal of the character, which is a shame given the great journey Steve Rodgers had. Anthony Mackie and Sam Wilson deserves more from his solo projects. Once you muddle through the clumsy link back the Eternals, and the overarching plot that links to The Incredible Hulk, you are still left trying to grapple with other bizarre aspects of the film. Why was a character seemingly central to the story like Sidewinder only added in reshoots? They can spin as much yarn as they like about the reshoots not being material to the film, but they clearly weren't happy with what they had in the can when they finished principal photography and it shows. The plot also felt very fragmented and choppy. Somehow it managed to feel convoluted yet mindlessly simple at the same time. Quite the achievement.

Now I will put my positive hat on briefly as there are some good points to this film. Despite being given very little to work with, Anthony Mackie puts in a good performance as Cap. It's clear that he could nail this role if the writing wasn't so poor, so I hope this improves for future outings. His chemistry with the new Falcon is pretty solid and there's some promise there. I do also think the final action scene is suitably chaotic, even if it does fizzle out, and the action throughout is all decent enough if nothing remarkable.

Ultimately though I really do think that Marvel has just hit a brick wall. With each film that passes, it becomes more and more apparent that Endgame was the obvious end point. The franchise should have taken a hiatus then kicked off again with a whole new cast and a whole new set of stories. It's a shame as Mackie has been let down by a poor film and poor overall franchise direction, but for Marvel diehards this film will be watchable enough.

Brave New World left me with a feeling of disappointment, summed up in one word: forgettable. Throughout the film, I struggled to find any new or exciting scenes that we haven't already seen in the MCU. In fact, I caught myself nodding off a couple of times due to the lack of engagement and investment in the characters. Danny Ramírez's character managed to deliver a couple of amusing lines, though I can't remember what they were. Despite this, he was the only character I found myself rooting for.

The one thing that could have been a surprise would have been Harrison Ford's character transformation. But of course, they decided to spoil it in the trailer, why?!!!

The future doesn't look bright for Marvel films. Where have the good old days gone?

Man, I remember a time when the MCU was good. Like, really good. Now, I feel nothing. This film got nothing out of me. Not hatred, not love, not even a whiff. Just nothing. Let's get this over with.

The performances were alright. Harrison Ford was definitely the standout in this film. I was expecting him to just phone it in, but he actually puts in the work. Not his best work, but enough to make me like his version of Thaddeus Ross. Anthony Mackie is great as always, but is honestly given very little. I'm not entirely sure Sam had a character arc outside of one scene late into the film and even that is just rehashing what happened in a D+ show. Giancarlo Esposito was absolutely wasted. Clearly added in later and could easily be cut.

As for the plot, there's nothing new here I'm afraid. It feels like this film's only purpose was to introduce Adamantium to the MCU. The antagonist is terrible, they try to connect it to earlier MCU entries but no one is really going to remember. This film was clearly altered from what it originally was. It's difficult to talk about honestly, because it feels like there's nothing here. The film wants to be an espionage thriller like Winter Soldier, but lacks the tonal consistency, tight pacing and writing to even come close.

But what about the action? It isn't great. The hand to hand combat looks sluggish and poorly edited. There's a good amount of that throughout. The CGI ranges from decent to downright terrible. It all rings hollow.

So yeah, it's probably not the worst thing the MCU has put out, but it certainly isn't far above it. I can't bring myself to hate this film, because it is ultimately nothing. A waste of time.

Newer Marvel movies are just simply not as good anymore. Without spoilers this movie was okay watching but it didn't excite me like older Marvel movies or even give you that wow factor...

This Movie as you watch it is somewhat slow initially. Some action sequences here and there but the overall story is feels like a repeat of another Marvel movie that came out (which I won't name here. Up to you to find out). What happened to the innovation? I didn't really see any.

I only give this movie a 6/10. It's not perfect but it's not terrible either. The writing does need more work and the story should of been revamped.

"Captain America: Brave New World" is a disappointing addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, failing to live up to the legacy of its predecessors. The film's plot is a convoluted mess, attempting to blend political intrigue with superhero action but succeeding in neither. The narrative is riddled with clichés and lacks any real depth or originality.

Anthony Mackie's portrayal of Sam Wilson as the new Captain America is uninspired, offering little to no character development. His performance feels wooden, and the script does him no favors with its lackluster dialogue and forced humor. The chemistry between characters is virtually non-existent, making it difficult to invest in their relationships or motivations.

The action sequences, a staple of Marvel films, are surprisingly dull and poorly choreographed. The CGI is subpar, with certain scenes appearing almost cartoonish. The film's pacing is erratic, dragging in parts where it should be thrilling and rushing through moments that could have provided emotional weight.

Harrison Ford's role as President Thaddeus Ross is a rare bright spot, but even his seasoned performance can't salvage the film from its myriad flaws. The villains are forgettable, with motivations that are either unclear or utterly unconvincing.

In summary, "Captain America: Brave New World" is a lackluster effort that fails to capture the spirit and excitement of earlier entries in the franchise. It's a film that feels more like a contractual obligation than a passionate storytelling endeavor. Marvel fans deserve better.

I went into Captain America: Brave New World with low expectations, especially after all the negative publicity. But I decided to approach it as a straight-up action movie-and in that sense, it was okay. It was entertaining and somewhat enjoyable for what it was, but the movie had its fair share of flaws.

The Story: The plot felt rushed, and while it had some interesting connections to The Eternals, it lacked depth. There were noticeable editing issues, and the script felt average at best. The villains was forgettable, which is a huge missed opportunity because a hero is only as good as their villains. The Red Hulk storyline, which had so much potential, was underutilized and felt wasted.

The Character.

* Anthony Mackie (Sam Wilson/Captain America): Mackie carried the film and was a definite highlight. He's an underrated actor who did the best he could with the material he was given. His performance felt genuine, and he brought heart to the role.

* Danny Ramirez (Joaquin Torres: A pleasant surprise! Ramirez played Joaquin Torres well and showed good chemistry with Mackie. I hope they continue building his character as Captain America's sidekick.

* Harrison Ford (Thunderbolt Ross Red Hulk): Ford is a legend, but he looked uncomfortable in the role. At 83, it's understandable that such a physically demanding character might be tough to portray. If they plan to continue the Red Hulk storyline, they may need to consider a recast or a different approach to the character.

* Shira Haas (Ruth Bat-Seraph): Haas is a okay actress, but she didn't feel like the right fit for this character. She gave it her all, but something about her performance felt off. Maybe it was the writing or direction, and it seems like she was trying way too hard to act tough, taking on men twice her size was not believable, but either way. The character didn't connect, it was a pointless character to have in the movie.

The Action:

The action scenes were not bad, with some well-choreographed fights and high-paced sequences that kept it fun. But the editing issues were hard to ignore, with some moments feeling choppy or out of place.

The Missed Opportunities: The biggest letdown was the Red Hulk storyline. They introduced such a powerful character but barely scratched the surface of his potential. Also, the villains lacked presence, which hurt the overall impact of the movie.

Final Thoughts: Captain America: Brave New World is worth watching when it comes out on streaming service, if you're looking for a okay action movie. Just don't expect anything groundbreaking from the story or villains. It's entertaining, but it feels rushed and underdeveloped. Hopefully, if they make a sequel, they'll slow down, tighten the script, and develop a stronger villain like MODOK or Zemo could be amazing if done right!

Rating: 6/10 - Watch it for the action and Anthony Mackie's performance, but don't expect it to blow you away.

One of the biggest strengths of Marvel's early phases was its ability to build charismatic heroes with strong background stories. However, in recent years, Disney has diluted the franchise by prioritizing quantity over quality, spreading the universe too thin with TV shows and subpar storytelling.

While Anthony Mackie is a talented actor with some great performances in his career, Sam Wilson was always a side character, and his transition into the lead role feels forced rather than earned. Unlike Steve Rogers, who had a compelling journey from underdog to leader, Sam's arc lacks the same depth, making it hard to connect with him as the central hero. Unfortunately, despite the film's attempt to elevate him, Harrison Ford ends up stealing the spotlight.

When The Avengers was released, every character had a well-established origin and presence, making the team-up feel epic. Now, Marvel seems directionless, throwing out content without a clear vision. With talk of a new Avengers movie, it's hard to feel excited when most of the lineup lacks the same impact as before.

Disney has taken what was once an incredible franchise and spread it too thin, sacrificing quality storytelling in favor of mass production. A disappointing direction for what used to be the pinnacle of superhero films.

Captain America: Brave New World is the latest entry in the Phase Five of the MCU. Considering the amount of reshoots, I didn't had high hopes for it and thought it wouldn't live up to the Captain America Trilogy and unfortunately I was right.

Starting with the positives. The cast delivers some charismatic performances particularly Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson/Captain America. He pours his heart and soul into bringing the best out of his character. Danny Ramirez as Joaquin Torres also delivered a hilarious and delightful performance and his chemistry with Mackie is solid. And Harrison Ford as Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross/"The Red Hulk" was one of the highlights of the film. The action sequences were entertaining even though not as mesmerising as they could've been.

Now the movie has some obvious flaws. The plot felt rushed, predictable and lacked depth with a lot of story elements feeling underdeveloped. The pacing was extremely uneven. There were moments that felt rushed while others dragged on making the film a little unengaging at times. It tries to match the storytelling heights of the Captain America Trilogy only to fail at it. The editing is noticeably choppy. The CGI was questionable at times. The villain was underwhelming which shouldn't be the case with a Marvel movie. And the ending was anti-climactic.

While it suffers from a rushed and predictable plot, boring villain and uneven pacing, Anthony Mackie's performance and the entertaining action sequences makes Captain America: Brave New World a passable action flick and another mixed bag in the Phase Five of the MCU.

Most of the reviews turned out to be true. The movie really looks like a cut of random scenes, in some places it's disgusting, and in some places it's just bad graphics and just no action sequences.

If the previous parts could boast of all of the above, then the new part is very difficult to praise for anything.

She tries to be sequels of two films at once and introduce several villains at once, not forgetting to reveal new characters and explore old ones, but the lack of a clear script and extremely poor timing simply do not allow all this to be done.

It's nice to see the old characters, but with all the flaws, the movie becomes a disappointment.

I just saw this in IMAX, and the quality was so bad we really thought something was wrong. It looked like an old VHS-copy. Anyone else experienced this?

The middle of the movie was kinda of okay. But the movie was kinda of pointless besides introducing the red hulk for the thunderbolts (which no doubt is gonna be a pretty pointless movie for the multiverse saga).

The movie also has one of the most dissapointing cameos of all time. I heard like 1 or 2 people go "oooh" in a way that almost felt ironic.

Red hulk and sam wilson were great, the rest of the films characters were just boring. 1 2 3 4 5.

I found myself extremely disappointed. Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson and Harrison Ford as Ross, both fails to capture the essence that made its predecessors compelling.

Although Ford is better than the charismatic vaccum that is "Do Better" Cap.

The narrative is a convoluted mess, attempting to juggle political intrigue with superhero action, but succeeding in neither.

No tension, thrill, no excitement. The action felt tedious to follow.

It's as if the writers threw together a series of tropes without any regard for coherence or originality.

Mackie's portrayal of Sam Wilson lacks the charisma and gravitas needed for the mantle of Cap.

His performance is wooden and uninspired, making it difficult to invest in his character's journey. Plus we have to act as if we care for his sidekick...the new falcon... didn't bother to learn his name.

Ford, usually a powerhouse, seems disinterested and it's obvious he came to collect a paycheck. Plus why would you cast a 80 plus nearby to grave for a character that is properly re introduced.

The film's pacing is atrocious, dragging in parts where it should be thrilling and rushing through moments that could have provided emotional resonance.

The action sequences are uninspired, lacking the creativity and excitement that we expect.

As usual the secondary or primary ( depends how you see it) antagonist is worthless whereas if used correctly he could have been a seriously dangerous threat. Earth's mightiest heroes the tv series had awesome portrayal of the character in a handful of episodes.

The VFX is trash with several scenes appearing blatantly artificial. The cinematography is uninspired, failing to capture any memorable or striking imagery.

Save your time and money; this is one superhero flick that's not worth the watch.

I have to agree with the majority of the reviews here. This was a mediocre movie that could have been a lot better. The acting was fine, the plot sketchy, and the cg below average. How does the cg in Starship Troopers look better than it does in a movie made 30 years later? To quote the Church lady "It's a mystery." The real shame here is that they wasted The Leader. For a super genius, he didn't come across as all that intelligent. I like the big forehead look from the comics much better than what they did here. There's an episode of the original Outer Limits, where David McCallum goes through a similar transformation; they should have taken their cue from that makeup instead of the brain salad look they used in this film.

I'm super surprised I liked it as much as I did honestly! I'm a marvel fan don't get me wrong but the films have gone a bit.. u know. But the movie is grounded. It feels more real and less CGI than recent marvel films. Anthony excels in his first solo movie and I loved Danny Ramirez in it. There are a couple surprise cameos and overall it makes me thrilled for what's to come with the future of marvel movies. There's PLENTY of action all throughout and it's really good. I saw a negative review about the fight scenes??? Did we watch the same movie? Lol there's a lot of them and they are good. And I actually like that everyone is getting hurt. It's realistic. And I didn't mind the build of to the Red Hulk. Because he's not the big bad of the movie. It wouldn't make sense to have him going on a rampage for the entire movie because that's not who he is. But when he comes, he's excellent. He looked great and did alll of the iconic hulk moves, jumps, claps and smashes. It was thoughtful to the character!

Definitely don't let the bad reviews fool you. Just go and watch a good action movie! I watched in 3D prime.

Very hard to review this movie without spoiling, but to summerise this is not as bad as I thought. There are a few weird cuts, a couple of nonsensical story-beats, very weird editing at times and an end credit scene which is just meh (only one btw). But movie-wise this is... almost okay, I would say.

There are good ideas here, which has been lacking in Marvel recently so despite my score and critique I will praise the studio for at least trying something. Failed try, but a try nevertheless.

The positives: this is decently entertaining, decently fun with good acting. I would rank this middle- to Low comes to Marvel movies, ahead of Black Widow, but worse than The Marvels... And, I think the music and sound design was great.

With that said the movie also have a lot of negatives. The main problem is what they tried to do. They want this to be a 'Winter Soldier'-like movie, sprinkled with some Incredible Hulk sequel. But both of those movies are far better and so this movie's story does not hold up. I think they should have gone down a different road and let this movie be its own thing. Another issue is that the movie drags and have pacing issues, which is sort of weird since the movie is only about 1 hour and 40min of actual run-time (movie is 2hrs officially). I actually think this movie should have been 25min longer to make scenes breath a little. But due to pacing and content the movie almost becomes boring. Almost all of these problems is likely due to all the reshoots and re-writes we've heard about.

There are sadly also more problems. The overuse of CG for one, especially since it is not always done well either. How come Iron Man and the early MCU movies still, to this day, have better computer graphics than today's Marvel? Don't Marvel care anymore?

And who came up with the main opposition to US? Really? A vassal will fight their master and superpower? Yea, right. Also, who is that Israeli child? What was the point with her character?

Overall though, as a movie, I give it a 3/10. In one month no one will ever care about this movie.

Worth your money? Maybe. Some of you are likely to enjoy this movie, or at least more than I did but I will not recommend.
