-Review by Dav Noble of AEP Media
I’m not gonna lie, I enjoyed this more than I expected. Yes, there are issues with the story- pacing, character setups and the villain was AWFUL. But I’m starting to expect studio issues when these movies are under 2 hours long. That screams filler-movie to me, and the trend is pretty consistent.
That being said, there is some heart in this movie. Anthony Mackie sells Captain America. He plays him really well and is believable in his action scenes. He carried this thin script very well. Ramirez, who plays Falcon was solid; I liked the banter between him and Mackie. Their actions scenes were actually really good, especially that scene over the ocean. Very “Top Gun”-esque. The Red Hulk story was meh, but the scene was cool. Harrison Ford was…old, lol. I don’t know, it was kind of hard seeing him in this film. Maybe it’s just me?? Isaiah Bradley, the Widow and the rest of the supporting cast did their things too. Overall I give “Captain America: Brave New World” a Rating of:
The action and the cast elevated a very thin and mediocre script. I also hated the villain, it was lazy. That being said, it was a solid movie worth checking out in the theaters for the fight scenes.
What did you rate it?
