Here are review links for this film submitted by our members:

  • Allen Almachar @ The MacGuffin
    • Excerpt: This iteration of Cap is a complete blank slate – devoid of moral standing or social cognizance. Because the character is made to see everything straight down the middle, we have no idea what he stands for.
  • Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
    • Excerpt: Captain America: Brave New World is neither the disaster its detractors insist that it is nor a return to form the MCU shills and fanboys insist that it is. It is serviceable, disposable, forgettable.
  • Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
    • Excerpt: Anthony Mackie deserved a better shot in the spotlight than this drab rehash of plots from the likes of “The Incredible Hulk,” “Black Panther” and “The Manchurian Candidate”
  • Richard Gray @ The Reel Bits
    • Excerpt: A solid but safe thriller, Marvel delivers engaging action and franchise nostalgia but struggles to push Sam Wilson’s Captain America into truly new territory.
  • Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
    • Excerpt: This should have been an exhilarating superhero film, but not even a vibranium shield can defend Sam Wilson from a script, a plot, and action this bad.
  • Harrison Martin @ Flixfrog
    • Excerpt: Captain America: Brave New World is a return to form for the MCU. Story radiates Winter Soldier vibes. Anthony Mackie turns in a powerful performance as Captain America! He is the clear choice to lead the new Avengers team.
  • Mike McGranaghan @ The Aisle Seat
    • Excerpt: Captain America: Brave New World finds Marvel with its head up its own posterior.
  • Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
    • Excerpt: [It] might just be bridging the gap with disposable entertainment, but it at least feels moored to this world. It holds onto the history of what came before it and the promise of what might be if Secret Wars lives up to the (perhaps unearned) hype.
  • Matt Oakes @ Silver Screen Riot
    • Excerpt: The MCU remains stuck in neutral with this wheel-spinning fourth Captain America movie, which—much like Falcon and The Winter Soldier—asks what it means for Sam Wilson to take up the mantle without ever finding a compelling answer. The film itself is mid at best, and Mackie just isn’t up to the task of carrying it on his shield-clad back.
  • [New] | Diego Salgado @ Sofilm [Spanish]
  • Sebastian Zavala @ MeGustaElCine.com [Spanish]
    • Excerpt: What could have very well been developed as an interesting thriller, trying to at least be on the level of “The Winter Soldier”, has instead ended up becoming a chaotic, irregular, visually ugly and at times tedious experience.
