Captain America: Brave New World

"Enjoyable enough for what it is: a proper introduction of Sam as Captain America."

"Anthony Mackie takes the lead, but (this) uninspired Marvel entry lets him down."

"Served with just enough competence and dash not to feel like reheated leftovers."

"The latest Marvel movie belongs to Harrison Ford."

"Brave? New? In this economy!?"

"A raging bore on top of being nearly incomprehensible."

"Stuffed with callbacks to movies everyone seemed to agree were misfires upon release."

"Mackie has charm and presence, and it would be great to see him at the centre of something more satisfying."

"Brave New World pushes the MCU doomsday clock closer to midnight."

"A step in the right direction."

"Mercifully, the jaggedness of the dramatic scenes doesn’t extend to the action."

"Another run-of-the-mill MCU joint."

"Another Marvel mess."

"It's the same old Marvel rubbish... Even Harrison Ford can't save it."

"Even for its flaws, (the film) feels like the series may be finding its soul again."

"A bunch of characters wandering around in search of meaning."

"Pacy and punchy... even if some awkward and inconsistent moments hold it back from greatness."

"A thrill-free thriller that wastes Harrison Ford."

"A better title might have been Captain America: Business as Usual."

"Listless and deeply unengaging."
