The good, the bad and the politics of ‘Captain America: Brave New World’

“Captain America: Brave New World” is a suitable action flick with good performances and effects, however it fails to live up to any high expectations. It's not a very biting political commentary, its twist is given away in the trailer, it does little to help the MCU’s struggling momentum and it's a pretty par for the course for a superhero movie. It almost feels like the first draft or the shadow of a much better movie which probably owes itself to the film's extensive reshoots. When push comes to shove, I'd recommend this movie for hardcore MCU fans, but for the average moviegoer I think it’s safe to ignore.
