Captain America 4: Brave New World (2025)

[wildturkey]

This movie is aggressively MID. Not as bad as Eternals, but damn close. You can visibly see the reshoots during this movie, making it disjointed. It's also pretty boring and doesn't accomplish anything. Like literally nothing much happens. They basically made a sequel to that Incredible Hulk movie everyone forgot about and flavored it with Falcon and Winter Soldier, a TV show that was also mid at best who my guess is less than half this movie's audience actually watched.

If you plan on going to see this, just skip it. Just wait until its on cable or streaming if you must see it, but like I said, you aren't missing anything at all because nothing happens. It's pointless. Whatever original script or plan they had, they completely botched it

I'll probably skip this one like I have with the majority of the stuff since Endgame. Same with Thunderbolts more than likely. Just haven't really cared about any of the characters and their arcs since Endgame finished a lot of things up.

I haven’t seen this yet, but is getting horrible reviews. I have heard that basically, nothing happens and it CAN be skipped.

And apparently the editing is really bad and you can tell what was an original shot and what was a reshoot.

HOPEFULLY this disaster will be the last we see of the pre-Feige correction. I thought we got through all that, but this one seems like it is just more of the same.

Thunderbolts looks promising fwiw

I saw this movie today. It wasn’t awful. I also think they knew that this movie was going to be weak. Because this was 118 minutes. That’s super short for these movies.

There was a piece on Vulture (I think?) this week from anonymous sources from production. The two takeaways were everyone pretty much knew this was gonna stink about halfway thru and that Harrison Ford is a pain in the ass to work with and caused several rewrites. Though that's not really news that Ford is a pain in the ass. He's a notorious crank.

I dunno who in their right mind thought those dumbass glasses and turning the guy into Iron Man was a good idea... but please find that person and ban them rom Earth.

The 3rd best Captain America opening. There has been 4.

I liked it, I thought the fight scene between Cap and Red Hulk was pretty cool. Also I’m not sure if it is or not but it seemed like the first movie in phase 6.

They kind of established a few things going forward and the post credit scene does tease something coming in the future even if it didn’t have any shocking reveals like I was expecting.

Also this was the first movie I’ve seen since the Eternals ending where they acknowledged the giant head statue in the middle of the Indian Ocean

Just saw it today. On YouTube, interestingly enough. The quality was pretty decent, but I am shocked they haven’t pulled it down yet.

I am glad I heard how bad it was before watching it, because I was prepped for its “badness” and was able to somewhat enjoy it. They should have focused a LOT more on the Leader, though. He seemed very background. The SFX of the press conference where Red Hulk appears was horrible. The extras were running around with no urgency and they were clearly on a sound stage. Bucky’s appearance was awkward as well. Seemed shoe-horned. And Sabra was pointless. Why was she even there?
