Part 7/8:
What emerges from this cinematic experience is a movie filled with missed opportunities. Captain America: Brave New World wants to be a political thriller wrapped in superhero aesthetics but falls flat. The film fails to provide a palpable connection to its characters and loses the essence of what made earlier entries in the MCU engaging.
If you go into this film with tempered expectations, you may find a few redeeming qualities, yet overall, it's easy to conclude that this outing is one that can be easily skipped without significant consequence. As the Marvel Universe progresses towards Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars, one must wonder how they plan to regain the magic that captivated audiences in the past.
