Captain America: Brave New World Reviews

A hugely boring and unengaging superhero movie with its second-rate patriotic characters. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/10 | Apr 29, 2025

It鈥檚 not quite Captain America: Brave Spew Hurled, but it鈥檚 close. C-minus-level MCU.

| Apr 17, 2025

It tries a little too hard to get things moving in the first act, and it does feel fairly slight overall, a Minor Marvel. But for the majority of its running time, it soars, largely thanks to Anthony Mackie's potent presence.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 4, 2025

The worst part about Captain America: Brave New World is that it merely exists. Apart from its nostalgic roots, this “new” direction is more of the same just with actors and characters that aren’t nearly as interesting as they think they are.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Apr 4, 2025

I had moderately high hopes with Iger back in the fold but this is a confounding experience from pitch to execution. There will likely be worse superhero movies this year but this will likely stand out as one of the more disappointing efforts.

| Original Score: C | Apr 2, 2025

As a major motion picture, CA:BNW is a non-entity, deceptively non-sensical in its spackled, empty-headed narrative. It's unclear what the film is attempting to say other than suggesting the necessity of embracing one's own strengths AND weaknesses.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 20, 2025

Mackie delivers a charismatic performance ... [But] the story sputters where it should soar.

| Mar 20, 2025

There’s some action in the film that’s frankly unforgettable, with a creative spin on a character we’ve seen before.

| Original Score: Half Price | Mar 18, 2025

Cap IV is a... hammer, good for little more than hitting things until all the things are hit. It is not about finesse, or sculpting something beautiful. It just hits, in unsubtle but effective ways, until all the nails have been hammered home.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 17, 2025

It is pretty entertaining – and also nice to see Mackie and Ford with roles they seem to enjoy – it’s also dangerously close in quality to being a direct to streaming viewing rather than a big family IMAX outing.

| Original Score: 6.5/10 | Mar 15, 2025

There's no excuse for this to be this poorly executed.

| Original Score: D | Mar 15, 2025

Brave New World's kinetic moments of spectacle aren’t enough to make the movie feel like it has anything substantive to say about who Sam is or how his becoming Captain America changes the world

| Mar 13, 2025

A plot without something to say is directionless, and characters without a point of view are doomed to remain one-dimensional. The simple fact is, you can’t make a political thriller devoid of political commentary...

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Mar 9, 2025

Another frustratingly mediocre MCU film. It has its high points, but all throughout the runtime you're constantly reminded of better films in the franchise. And your brain keeps coming up with a better version of this film than the one they delivered.

| Original Score: C+ | Mar 7, 2025

Captain America: Brave New World has the moral backbone of a piece of wet bread.

| Mar 7, 2025

Brave New World fares slightly better than the majority of its padded-out and mostly interminable brethren...

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 6, 2025

Captain America: Brave New World arrives saddled with a lot of baggage, and that's before the movie even starts.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Mar 4, 2025

An underbaked central narrative, bland expository dialogue, consistently drab visuals, poor characterisation and nondescript action scenes combine to create a conspiracy thriller lacking even a whiff of intrigue or paranoia.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 4, 2025

...Captain America: A New World...is, quite simply, a tedious film on its own, and redundant in the grand scheme of things. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Feb 28, 2025

Because “The Boys” has done such an incredible job sending up superheroes, it’s hard for something like this to maneuver. Had Marvel corrupted someone in the Avengers, there might have been a need for someone else to rise to the challenge.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 28, 2025
