Captain America: Brave New World review Harrison Ford juggles green screens, red fists and vanilla plotting
Briefly

The recent Marvel Cinematic Universe installment features Harrison Ford as a US president facing health problems while transforming into Red Hulk. The narrative is steeped in familiar superhero tropes, exploring themes of international cooperation amid a backdrop of chaos as Captain America, played by Anthony Mackie, navigates a reception marred by conflict. The film introduces new tensions related to Adamantium's discovery and potential geopolitical strife between the US and Japan, but offers little originality in storytelling or character development.
The latest MCU installment, while featuring Harrison Ford as a troubled president, offers little innovation beyond a conventional plot and predictable characters.
Harrison Ford's portrayal of a president dealing with health issues and becoming Red Hulk brings a novelty but ultimately conforms to the traditional superhero tropes.
