Critic Laura Sirikul Wrote: “#CaptainAmericabravenewworld proves that Sam Wilson can lead a #captainAmica movie. Writing and playing are very strong as a political thriller mixed with superhero elements. Although not perfect, it was very engaging and entertaining.”
Program Manager Brandon Davis Was also a fan, tweeting: “#captainamericabravenewworld is flat out. It feels like an MCU -bailiff for shape that goes on with the overall story with an exciting story of its own. It’s pretty non -stop! The villain feels a bit Secondary.
Critic Scott Menzel Writer: “Captain America: Brave New World is a game election for phase 5 of MCU. Mackie hovers past the role of Falcon cementing of himself as the new Captain America. Ford puts its signature grunting and crankiness for great use as thaddeus ross and red hulk.
