Captain America: Brave New World

What a great movie! It was way better than I expected. Though one thing I'd change - the length. I wish it was longer!!

This movie has a heart. I would think Sam needs to get the super-soldier injection however. That's my only issue with the movie.

This is not the movie that will cure your superhero fatigue, so if you suffer from it – just go see something else. I really don't understand why people who've fallen out of love with superheroes still force themselves to see every Marvel movie. pretty weird behavior.

(And yeah, it's also pretty weird to still be salty the new Cap is black. Get over it.)

Anyway, this is a fun movie with interesting characters, Harrison Ford doing a great Thunderbolt Ross, and a bunch of neat callbacks to the very beginning of the MCU. The villain works well, Harrison Ford shows us why he's still a big effing deal, and generally all the pieces work well together. Recommended if you like this sort of thing.

Damn, Cap can do all of that without the serum?? Well I guess that proves Black Cap is the best Cap there ever was. Also, Giancarlo is a national treasure. Also also - more Anthony Mackie topless, but no more Harrison Ford shirtless ever, ever again.

Was great to see Harrison Ford back on Air Force One! Just don’t make him angry.. you won’t like him when he’s angry!

Final battle kinda meh, but I'm still enjoying the movie.

Actually, a sequel like this was needed for the Marvel universe. I like the old Captain America more, he seemed more likeable. How many movies did he play as Captain America since 2011? Maybe he got tired or he made his own decision to withdraw and return to the time when the events never started. You never know, you might see him for a moment and he comes back. Anyway, when it comes to the movie, I can't say it's perfect, but the Marvel universe needed to progress in some way and I think Captain America made a very good start after Thanos. The acting is very good. There's no need to discuss the effects anyway. The script is good. It doesn't get boring while watching it, but it's not such a perfect movie. I don't know how they progress, but the universe is very wide and a new hero constantly emerges. For example, the previous series. I'm thinking of watching this movie again on the computer. Thank you for your efforts and definitely give it a chance. The new Captain America is really good.

I went into this movie expecting to hate it, as I have with some of Marvel's recent films, but I walked out genuinely loving it.

The story builds up nicely, and the villain they set up feels like a real threat—exactly the kind of adversary Sam’s Captain America should face in what I hope is the first of many solo adventures. Anthony Mackie carries the film with his usual charisma, handling the weight of the role exceptionally well.

While I do miss Chris Evans as Steve Rogers, at no point did I feel like Mackie wasn’t the real Captain America. The identity crisis Sam went through in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier truly pays off here. He owns the title, and he feels like Cap. More importantly, the world in the movie treats him as such, which is all we need to believe it ourselves. The film doesn’t waste time rehashing that conflict because it doesn’t need to—Sam is Captain America, and the story moves forward with that in mind.

Harrison Ford’s portrayal of Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross was something I didn’t realize I needed, but he delivers in every scene. Nothing against William Hurt’s excellent take on the character, but Ford brings a presence that makes it feel like he should have played Ross from the start.

One of Marvel’s biggest missed opportunities here was keeping Red Hulk under wraps. If the reveal had been a true surprise, it would have elevated the movie significantly. That said, the story stands strong on its own. It has clear direction, emotional stakes, and a compelling character arc. In fact, one of the biggest surprises was how much sympathy I felt for Ross, of all people—something I never expected.

The action is top-tier, seamlessly fitting the tone of a Marvel thriller and spy film. It complements the pacing, which is tight and engaging. The Red Hulk vs. Cap fight at the end shows us that it's noticeably clear that Sam is just a normal human with anything but his determination and tech to help him. Which is a question raised in the movie, why didn’t he get the super-soldier serum and become super himself? And I think that’s something they should explore in the future.

However, the villain—while initially compelling—feels underwhelming by the end. Given how much of a threat he poses at the start, his defeat feels almost too easy, making the climax feel somewhat incomplete. This, along with tonal inconsistencies, makes it obvious that the movie went through a chaotic production process. Some sections feel vastly different from others in style and execution.

The first 20 minutes almost confirmed my worst fears—bad dialogue, jarring cuts, and flashy action to cover up what seemed like a weak Captain America movie. But then, the film actually starts, and from that point on, it proves itself. Despite the production struggles, it manages to come together into something genuinely enjoyable.

Captain America: Brave New World shifts gears from the usual Marvel spectacle, delivering a political thriller in the vein of The Winter Soldier and The Manchurian Candidate. It leans into espionage, power struggles, and real-world consequences rather than nonstop action, though there are still plenty of standout moments that showcase Sam Wilson’s unique approach to being Captain America. His use of strategy, flight, and Redwing—alongside his vibranium-enhanced gear—makes for some exhilarating sequences, proving he’s a different kind of Cap but no less formidable.

Harrison Ford brings weight to his role as President Thaddeus Ross, whose history with the Hulk plays into the film’s broader themes of control and responsibility. The story also takes strides in connecting past MCU entries, reinforcing The Incredible Hulk’s place in the timeline and teasing future developments that will excite long-time fans.

More than anything, Brave New World is a film about what it truly means to be Captain America. Without super-soldier serum, Sam Wilson stands as a hero purely through skill, conviction, and determination—an idea explored in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and expanded here. The film’s deliberate pacing may not be what some expect, but it delivers a gripping, intelligent story that challenges the notion of power while setting up intriguing possibilities for what’s next.

Wasn’t too excited for this film the way marvel has been lately and the falcon and winter soldier show was so boring, but I was surprised how much I liked this not saying it’s Marvels best work because it’s not but an improvement for sure.

Doesn’t feel like a marvel film most of it is more of a darker tone which I liked the story wasn’t rushed ,and they took there time with President Ross turning into Red Hulk was a very well done scene.

The villain was a decent character and his look was quite cool.

Overall definitely happy with the film don’t get why so many low reviews I get that the hero normally has powers but it’s good they are trying something different , although I do think they should of just called him Captain Falcon or something nobody can replace Chris Evan’s has Cap.
