#CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld finds the MCU back in fine form with a Winter Soldier-y thriller redolent of Manchurian Candidate & Parallax View. Mackie’s future as the new Cap shines incredibly bright! Bonus: you get to hear Harrison Ford say “Adamantium.” pic.twitter.com/grIM4x6N2k

Captain America: Brave New World is a game-changer for Phase 5 of the MCU. Mackie soars past the role of Falcon cementing himself as the new Captain America. Ford puts his signature grunting and crankiness to great use as Thaddeus Ross and Red Hulk. Brave New World is like Falcon… pic.twitter.com/4YxPScKvfF

CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD seems to only exist to wrap up loose ends to The Incredible Hulk and Eternals. And in doing so the plot is about as convoluted and dull as that all sounds. This should have been called Captain America: Loose Ends #CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld

#CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld is clunky, anticlimactic, and about as exciting as a rerun. The screenplay gives the characters little to do, the action feels like it’s just checking a box, and Red Hulk? Don’t bother getting hyped. As the 35th film in the MCU, it plays things way… pic.twitter.com/ntyXjoECia

Saw 30 minutes of #CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld two weeks ago and for the most part, I think I'm on board? Not fully sold on the Sam Wilson-Joaquín Torres dynamic yet in the same way Sam and Bucky worked but I think there's definitely potential there. Harrison Ford is phenomenal… pic.twitter.com/uRw4OTYXlv

Absolute blast. All-in on the story. It just checked so many boxes for me.
Felt like an MCU movie where other projects actually matter again. Lots of cohesion.
Mackie rocks, Ford is great. pic.twitter.com/pl6828092T
#CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld is a strong testament to why Sam Wilson was the right choice to carry the shield. Mackie delivers his best performance yet, the action is entertaining, & the story remains engaging. There are a few flaws that hold this back from being GREAT though pic.twitter.com/9H3ASzaDxH

#CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld made me feel like I was watching the MCU again—and that’s a good thing. Gritty, intense, and packed with Winter Soldier vibes. It’s not without its flaws—feels a bit disjointed at times—but Anthony Mackie owns the shield, and Red Hulk is a beast.… pic.twitter.com/jyzeKRVa4Z

#CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld proves Anthony Mackie has RIGHTFULLY EARNED the role of Captain America. He puts it all in as Sam Wilson and his chemistry with Danny Ramirez is great! Harrison Ford as President Ross/Red Hulk is charming and the action really rocks when it happens. pic.twitter.com/ktwngfnII6

I enjoyed #CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld a lot. Anthony Mackie is a great Cap. Really enjoyed the action sequences which takes the character to new heights, literally. Did like the Leader, but felt he wasn’t really used enough. Red Hulk kicked ass too! pic.twitter.com/uUgkN5HOqU

After seeing #CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld I now can see Anthony Mackies Captain America being the leader of the avengers but this is one of the most average and safe Marvel movies I have seen. Red Hulk is dope for the 5 minutes he’s in the movie.

#CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld is a lot of things: some good, some okay. It’s exciting, offers a worthwhile message in a divisive time, is a return to form for the mainline MCU after a string of disappointments, and is one of the first to progress the MCU story itself post-Endgame. pic.twitter.com/vHKlc9scAa

#CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld is ... fine

The final battle rocks. Mackie proves he can carry a film. Harrison Ford is Harrison Ford
The story feels disjointed-several intriguing ideas emerge but fail to build in a satisfying fashion
The film relies HEAVILY on unlikely MCU film pic.twitter.com/0eAb78Vi5K
CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD is an incredible surprise! It ROCKS. The story is grounded, focused, and has genuine emotional stakes/solid action. Mackie proves he’s THE guy & Ford over-delivers! The spirit of Cap thrives in this film. Believe me when I say, the MCU is back! pic.twitter.com/5m3TBgtDZY
