Captain America: Brave New World





PRAISE: The Manchurian Candidate, and Star Wars Episode II : Attack of the Clones i couldn't help but think about these two movies as the 35th Marvel film about Sam Wilson, the new Captain America, finding himself in the middle of an international incident played out.
Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson and Captain America has two stand out scenes and one is spoiler filled but it's when he is expressions self doubt is when i really paid attention to the character aside from some early action sequences. As the newly Falcon, Joaquin Torres Danny Ramirez has a couple of good moments. As Thaddeus Ross , Harrison Ford does really well expressing the many twisty layers to the character.Giancarlo Esposito’s Voelker/Sidewinder does well in his moments in the movie.Isaiah Bradley, played by Carl Lumbly, friendship with Wilson carries over nicely from The Falcon and the Winter Soldier show.As Ruth Bat-Seraph, Sira Haas does ok in another brief performance in this movie, the background of her character was interesting and i wondered if she will appear in more Marvel movies. The movie tries to be as cohesive as it can be connecting Marvel films from the past and present. There are some really great hard hitting action sequences coupled with some great sound design and the hand to hand fights weren't bad either. There is one scene that made me wish The Falcon and The Winter Soldier had been given another season. There are some inserts of humor that worked for me.

PROBLEMS: I was hoping for more from the villain. I could definitely tell what was reshot because the green screen in those scenes were awful. One characters "disguise' was laughable. Some characters were taken off the board far to quickly. Predictable moments are scattered throughout the movie. I had to suspend disbelief several times when a character walks away from some fights almost completely unscathed and the audience is reminded of this when a line of dialogue is repeated. CABNW is not as involving or engaging as it wants to be.

Scale of 1 to 10 a 7

Captain America : Brave New World = Not the best entry but a rock solid political' thriller disguised as a comic book flick. Starts off slow but builds up into an interesting story. A few guest appearances are fun and the action is good. Marvel is back. 3 stars.

I agree with all the above points. I really dug the movie, especially based on the current phase.
Ant-Man, Marvels, Guardians 3, Deadpool, Cap 3

Out of those movies, Cap is easily the best movie. One of the problem with this phase is that it requires a lot of prior knowledge of multiple TV shows & movies. I honestly don't keep up with movie & celebrity news and I was confused as to why they recasted Ross. William Hurt is a MUCH better actor than grumpy old man 'barking like a dog' Harrison Ford. I didn't know till the movie was over and I looked it up and saw William Hurt passed. Damn shame too, he's been in the MCU just as long as Tony Stark and they had to recast right at the one yard line.

I'm not sure how this movie weighs against its competitors but she killed it in this flick.
She deserves an award for an excellent performance.


Agreed - she did a great job in the movie.


The line "Your son is a fucking pussy!" still cracks me up.


I plan on checking out the series Better Things in the near future. I've heard good things over the years, and that's one of her big breaks in acting ...
