"Captain America: Brave New World" introduces Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson in a disappointing entry to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. With a lackluster villain and uninspired fight sequences, the film struggles to connect with audiences while requiring viewers to have prior knowledge of several previous movies and series. The character dynamics, particularly between new heroes and the legacy of Captain America, are underwhelming, and attempts at humor fall flat. Overall, the film fails to carry the legacy of its predecessors, marking it as the weakest in the franchise.
The villain is a drab "Star Trek" reject, the fight sequences are meditative, and the grave-whisper acting belongs in a coming-attraction trailer from 1996.
"Brave New World," with its lofty Shakespearean-Huxleyan title, tries and fails to be a political Marvel movie.
