Captain America: Brave New World

2025

★½

Omg guys I think there might be like one or twelve allegories for Trump in here!

This movie wants so badly to be Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Opening one-man hostage rescue, assassination attempt on Cap’s boss due to an insider threat, midday car ambush by a crony with a big gun, Black Widow assistant kicking ass and saving Cap, secret mastermind bad guy pulling the strings for years, big battle flying between aircraft carriers, final hospital bedside chat between Cap and his injured sidekick with a boppy tune playing overhead…except this time it’s all just complete ass. Shitty writing, shitty acting, shitty special effects…oh, and it steals two of Hulk’s greatest villains and waters both of them down to the point of drowning in mediocrity. 

You’ve gotta DO BETTER, Feige! Phase 5 can’t end soon enough. 

P.S. At what point are we allowed to acknowledge that Giancarlo Esposito plays pretty much the same character in everything nowadays?
