Critics Consensus

Anthony Mackie capably takes up Cap's mantle and shield, but Brave New World is too routine and overstuffed with uninteresting easter eggs to feel like a worthy standalone adventure for this new Avengers leader.

Audience Says

Captain America: Brave New World is a passable superhero enterprise that delivers the swell action one comes to expect in a Marvel outing.

Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube)

I found it absolutely impossible to get interested in it. The writing is at its very, very best functional.

Action scenes pop up frequently enough to keep the most fidgety teen engaged.

The not-so-secret weapon this CAPTAIN AMERICA has going for it is Harrison Ford. Don’t believe the nay-sayers out there: Brave New World is a 21st century Tall Tale, and if it takes two viewings to take it all in, so be it

It’s not quite Captain America: Brave Spew Hurled, but it’s close. C-minus-level MCU.

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.

Rated: 3/4

Bounding Into Comics

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.

Rated: 1.5/5

This one has great action scene that makes you feel it blow for blow. Captain America is back but with a different vibe. Harrison Ford makes Ross way more interesting and layered. Red Hulk gave you that classic hulk feel, like he turns to a horror film for a moment.

6.5/10 this movie felt like a bland experience w/no thrills but it had classic hills vibes which was cool. Harrison Ford was ok it wasn’t the standout but this felt like a buddy cop movie that dragged. Sry Marvel u flopped again but I still have faith in u.
