Captain America: Brave New World is a soulless movie that is the cinematic equivalent of eating fast food.
It’s a chore to get through and very forgettable for a $185 million dollar movie.
It’s a perfect example of all the worst things about Marvel in one movie.
It also looks fake as fuck.
Marvel has leaned on shabby CGI for a long time now.
It’s one reason why I don’t think these movies will age well.
You’d think with these huge budgets, they’d have better effects.
But groundbreaking filmmaking was never a priority for Marvel.
Having many stories connect was always the focus.
The actual moviemaking has been secondary for some time.
A bad script with worse dialogue.FIVE (!!!)
people were credited as screenwriters for Brave New World.
It’s typical Marvel schlock with poor/bizarre jokes.
Who are these jokes even for?
No one in that situation would say that.
It also minimizes what is happening on screen.
If the characters in the movie aren’t taking it seriously, why should we?
I’ve never understood why Marvel tries so hard to shoe-horn comedy into these movies.
But instead this weird ham-fisted one liners in otherwise serious movies.
Of course, this movie went through multiple re-writes so the point of this movie is all muddled.
He looks like he came from a high school production of Wicked.
It would look cheap if it was in a movie 25 years ago.
Marvel movies have lousy bad guys because there are usually few (if any) ramifications to these movies.
They are just a bridge to the next movie which will be as pointless as the last.
All that being said, this isn’t a horrific movie.
We’re not talking Love Hurts or Wolf Man here.
Harrison Ford actually tries and gives a good performance.
Anthony Mackie is OK enough but this script lets him down.
Cinemascore is when they ask people to grade the movie right when they walk out of the theater.
A B- doesn’t sound bad but it’s actually terrible.
People typically give most movies at least a B+.
For example, Paddington In Peru got an A.
Marvel and Kevin Feige have got to figure this out.
If these movies don’t get better soon, Marvel could be in trouble.
This puts even more pressure on Thunderbolts* to be good.
This one sure wasn’t.
