Captain America: Brave New World

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.

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 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.

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.

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.
