Captain America: Brave New World (Julius Onah, February 14, 2025) Movie • Page 18

thought this was supposed to be marvel’s year lmao

 

80% audience score and $190+ million opening is a pretty good start, imo

 

So Brave New World is a film. Didn’t hate it but also didn’t love it despite having bits in it that I did love. Probably the epitome of a 2.5 out of 5.

Loved the random Bucky appearance. Running for congress apparently. As you do.

Got a feeling a fair few on here will hate it and rip it to shreds, though.

 

I am feeling like some of the stuff that was cut had to do with the adamantium already being used as weapons. The way the dude’s knife cut Sam’s suit at the beginning and Sam’s reaction to it felt like it implied something was off.

 

feel bad for @MidDave that this is the most excited he’s ever been for the mcu and it’s getting the brakes beat off it

 

In fairness, I wasn't excited for the movie itself. Just the setting haha

 

come on

 

The Big Picture podcast went (I think) unnecessarily hard on this and weirdly, minus the superhero complaints, I feel like their same complaints could be used for “Civil War” (a movie they loved).

 

concerning

 

doubt

 

Bucky should become the next president

 

is the nation ready to elect a dead man ?

 

I feel like he won’t even win his shot at congress.

 

Yeah, despite real world scenarios showing different, I find it hard to believe that a former brainwashed Russian assassin would be able to win.

 

It’s not that for me. I just feel like his presence in Thunderbolts* indicates he’s not in the best place.

 

Or he's in a great place and he's got his eye on them.

 

This was nowhere near as bad as people were making it out to be. Mid tier. I was thoroughly entertained. My main complaint was everything before Celestial Island felt more like a tv show than a movie. Not so much the content but how it was shot and how it appeared on the screen. The first fight sequence and the acting up until the White House was very wooden and seemed like they were just going through the motions. I liked the narrative though.
