The article criticizes Captain America: Brave New World, describing it as an uninspired film within the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Phase Five. The movie, featuring Anthony Mackie as a new Captain America, is said to recycle familiar elements from other films, including political conspiracies and prior Marvel narratives. Despite the inclusion of characters like Harrison Ford's Thaddeus Thunderbolt Ross and a star-studded villain lineup, the film ultimately fails to engage, offering a bland cinematic experience. The use of a 2014 Kendrick Lamar song further underscores the film's lack of fresh content.
Captain America: Brave New World feels like it's just treading water, wasting Anthony Mackie in his first cinematic outing as his Hamlet-like Captain America.
This is a dangerous idea superheroes working for the government and Cap is warned but still agrees. Trust me. My eyes are wide open, he reassures.
It lifts from The Manchurian Candidate and Top Gun and even pointlessly steals its title from Aldous Huxley.
There is a Kendrick Lamar song heard at the climactic end, but it's not new; it's from 2014.
