“Captain America: Brave New World” Movie Review
Rated PG-13
Opens: February 14, 2025
Kevin says CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD kinda rocks!
Strap on your wings and grab your shield. Marvel Studios is coming in hot with CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD.
This film sees Sam Wilson as the new Captain America. When an attempt on the President’s life throws the country into chaos, Cap goes rogue to uncover a deadly conspiracy.
As with other Captain America content, this film attempts a taut political thriller. It works for the most part, though there’s some clunky dialogue and it bends over backwards to avoid being too political.
Anthony Mackie holds his own in the title role, earning the Captain America shield. And Harrison Ford is a fun as ever as the grumpy, on-again-off-again antagonist President Thaddeus Ross.
This movie has the action you’d expect from Marvel, but there are some issues. Mainly, when it comes to the comic book elements, there’s no surprises thanks to spoiler-filled marketing. I mean, Red Hulk is on the flippin’ posters, after all.
In the end, CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD offers an entertaining introduction into a darker Marvel Universe.
CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD gets three and a half vibranium shields out of five. I’m Kevin Carr, and that’s the way I see it.
