Critics have a range of reactions toCaptain America: Brave New Worldin early social media reviews.
And in doing so the plot is about as convoluted and dull as that all sounds.
Dont bother getting hyped.
As the 35th film in the MCU, it plays things way too safe."
MeanwhileErik Davispraised the movie, saying"Marvel is back!
It excels in its Red Hulk and its many hand-to-hand (or hand-to-shield) fight sequences.
Love the bromance between Cap and Falcon, too.
Maybe rewatch that film before this one.
It’s great to see Cap back in action.
I can watch him sling that shield all day.
However, it didn’t quite hit the emotional or narrative highs I was hoping for.
Loved Mackie as Cap & I appreciated the more serious tone but it did feel slightly empty."
There are fun action sequences and political undertones that work!
The chemistry between Sam, Joaquin, and Isiah shines.
Adam Patlacalled the movie an"eyesore,“saying that"Anthony Mackie and Danny Ramirez deserve better.
Lacks a lot of depth when tackling the politics it earnestly tries to handle.
you could also feel the constant reshoots it had to undergo.
It just never had anything to suck me in.
Jeff Nelsonwas not a fan, saying there was"Nothing brave aboutCaptain America: Brave New World.
A flat political thriller with scattershot emotional stakes, recycled plot points, & a disengaging path forward.
Another forgettable villain.”
Rama’s Screenfelt far more positive, saying the movie"cooked.
Anthony Mackie owned that role like its nobodys business.
The politics went deep too.
And the Red Hulk VS. Cap fight was even more epic than the trailers sold us.
No one is more deserving to hold the shield than Sam Wilson.
It’s grounded in hard truths without sacrificing that classic Cap optimism.
Esposito & Ramirez shine, but Mackie’s infectious empathy is the true MVP."
“Is it perfect?
Of course not, nothing is.
But I had a blast, saw the vision, and loved it.”
