This film is an abomination. It has enormous difficulties in captivating the viewer because it offers a story about the character that not only has nothing to do with this legendary character but also adds elements that are not supported by history or legend. It is a bad film because the hero is unbearable, his relationship with the others is lamentable, those who accompany him are weak figures and the villains are the only ones who reason and do not let themselves be carried away by emotions. It is a very hard experience to watch a film that appeals to all kinds of innovations so that the hero is something like a superhero. Horrible. Desolate.

I just watched the movie. I decided to forget the story of everything I know and read in order to see the film as an individual story and analyze this movie as an individual event. The issue is as follows: we have a Captain America with a certain touch of Falcon (he flies) who has problems accepting his new role and all that it means. To show individuality then he will not take that serum that was injected to the first Avenger because in that way he will have three differential aspects: he is black, he flies and he is also weaker. We have a new Falcon played by an insufferable Latino. From here we require a story that facilitates the advancement of things: there is a president very well acted by Harrison Ford (let's agree that Captain America movies choose good character actors like Hugo Weaving, Robert Redford or Harrison Ford). What happens is that there is a certain island (why the island is there I do not care) that has an element that will become very useful and is what made Wolverine and Deadpool strong. From there we have a surprising villain who doesn't resemble the character from twenty years ago even though it's played by the same actor, a secondary villain who looked good in Megalopolis and here shows that he's a respectable actor and very little else. The director presents us with fun and intense action sequences but the weakness of the film is that the story, relationships between them and motivations that animate them are so weak that it gives you chills. The only way to enjoy the film is to forget about everything and not question anything that any character does; only in this way you can enjoy the film without consequences for your stomach.

This film has peculiar characteristics; it forgets the spectacular production design of the first part to decently introduce some new character and establish premises to sustain a plot not so similar to the first.

Let's agree here that the most attractive character is not Sly and that suggests that it was an idea for the producers to have an ace up their sleeve in case they could offer a broader narrative arc. It's curious but it is said that a film is as good as its villain is. And here the villain is so weak that it is almost unbearable: weak in his motivation, weak in his history, weak in his character and weak in his personality. That is precisely the key that allows the film to advance but on the other hand his character and other elements present (those who support the project have no plan B, etc.) are all indefensible. If someone is dedicated to blackmail and is capable of mortgaging his future in exchange for revenge, it implies that it is impossible for such an individual to be someone in the underworld of crime. The story allows us to have access to certain relationships between characters that allow us to hate almost everything in front of our eyes. The ending is cathartic and powerful. Although they leave the door open for another film, the path chosen was not the best and we all know that.
