Captain America: Brave New World | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

It tries a little too hard to get things moving in the first act, and it does feel fairly slight overall, a Minor Marvel. But for the majority of its running time, it soars, largely thanks to Anthony Mackie's potent presence.

The worst part about Captain America: Brave New World is that it merely exists. Apart from its nostalgic roots, this “new” direction is more of the same just with actors and characters that aren’t nearly as interesting as they think they are.

I had moderately high hopes with Iger back in the fold but this is a confounding experience from pitch to execution. There will likely be worse superhero movies this year but this will likely stand out as one of the more disappointing efforts.

As a major motion picture, CA:BNW is a non-entity, deceptively non-sensical in its spackled, empty-headed narrative. It's unclear what the film is attempting to say other than suggesting the necessity of embracing one's own strengths AND weaknesses.
