The social media embargo for Marvel’s Captain America; Brave New World has just been lifted.
That means that thoughts and opinions on the film from critics and other entertainment journalists are just starting to pour in.
Check out what some of our peers are already saying about the highly-anticipated sequel below!
“So…#CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld successfully recreates the spy/thriller tone from ‘Winter Soldier’. Still, it only ever feels like a means to tie together the loose ends left hanging in ‘Incredible Hulk’ & ‘Eternals.’ Interesting ideas, but it feels like more of a meditation on the MCU’s past than a clear vision of where the franchise should go next.
And that Post-Credit scene? 🥱” – The DisInsider
“It’s cool to see ideas from the forgotten The Incredible Hulk finally come back into the foray, but it feels like a base for an Incredible Hulk solo movie and not a Captain America film! Ultimately an empty and misguided 4th solo film for Cap. #CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld” – @PetreyCon
“#CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld is a strong testament to why Sam Wilson was the right choice to carry the shield. Mackie delivers his best performance yet, the action is entertaining, & the story remains engaging. There are a few flaws that hold this back from being GREAT though” – @PopeTheKing
“#CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld both met & exceeded my low expectations. You can feel the reshoots throughout the film & the main villain was a big miss. But this is the most cohesive the MCU has felt since 2019. Sam has good chemistry w/ his partners & it can deliver the feels.” – @kirkneverdied
“Captain America: Brave New World is triumphant. The paranoid action picks up the pace in the second half, but this is really Sam Wilson’s story about handling the pressure of the mantle of Captain America. A tense Harrison Ford steals the show. #CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld” – HunterBVideo
“#CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld has top tier action, with some of the best fight sequences of any #MCU film. Anthony Mackie & Danny Ramirez are a delightful & dynamic duo who give the story its heart. A MASSIVELY entertaining film. #Marvel#CaptainAmerica” – @POCCulture
“#CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld is an enjoyable watch with decent action sequences & some standout moments. 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.” – 3CFilmss
“#CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld proves that Sam Wilson can lead a #CaptainAmerica movie. The writing & acting is very strong as a political thriller mixed with superhero elements. While not perfect, it was very engaging & entertaining.” – @Lsirikul
“Kinda disappointed with #CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld There are some good action moments and Mackie is a charismatic Cap but it’s all over the place thematically, overly complicated and ultimately a little pointless. It just never had anything to suck me in. A bummer.” – @GermainLussier
According to Marvel Studios, the official synopsis for the film is as follows:
After meeting with newly elected U.S. President Thaddeus Ross, played by Harrison Ford in his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut, Sam finds himself in the middle of an international incident. He must discover the reason behind a nefarious global plot before the true mastermind has the entire world seeing red.
The film is directed by Julius Onah, who co-wrote the script with Malcolm Spellman and Dalan Musson. It stars Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson / Captain America alongside Danny Ramirez, Carl Lumbly, Tim Blake Nelson, Shira Haas, Harrison Ford, Liv Tyler, and Giancarlo Esposito!
