Captain America: Brave New World is finally here, and people have a lot to say about it. The movie had a strong start, making $192.4 million worldwide in its first weekend, but it dropped 68% in its second weekend, which has some people worried. Critics have mixed feelings too, with the film sitting at 49% on Rotten Tomatoes. Some love the action and performances, especially Harrison Ford as President Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross, while others think the story wasn’t deep enough and the characters could have been better.
Audiences seem just as split, giving it a B- CinemaScore, which is actually the lowest for a Marvel movie ever. Still, this movie is a big deal because it’s the first full film with Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) as Captain America, following up on The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. It’s got big action scenes, cool characters returning, and some fun surprises, but it might not be as great as past Captain America movies. Some fans think Marvel needs to step it up and make sure future films have better stories and more exciting moments. Even though not everyone loves it, the movie still proves that the MCU is changing, and Sam Wilson is here to stay as the new Cap. Whether you think it’s amazing or just okay, it’s definitely a big moment for Marvel.
