How This Works – Read Other Reviews
Hello Cinephiles,
Today we’re talking about the 2025 film Captain America: Brave New World.

Story
This was a Captain America movie, it had all the heroics, all the intrigue, and all the big set pieces that were needed. That’s not to say it was predictable or boring. It dealt with twenty years of lore and not only told a story but connected it with the world.
I know it’s setting up a lot of the next Avengers movies but I never felt like I was watching a prologue.
Score: 1
Characters
There was so much in this that I found the villain got lost. I get that the real villain is the systemic oppression of the American people, especially those that are different, but the Leader wasn’t all that scary once they figured out his mind control trick.
Captain America, the new Falcon, and the agent following them around were a great group and a lot of fun to watch. The softening of Ross was interesting. Much more than the Red Hulk. I also loved the cameos.
Score: 0.5
Dialogue
You’d think with such a big brain, the Leader would be able to come up with better one liners. His dialogue was boring.
The quips by the heroes were great and there were some great lines about government’s mistreatment of people.
Score: 0.5
Visuals and Music
I think, hope, and pray that this movie is proof that Marvel is fully moving away from jump cuts and shakey cam. The action was clean and the special effects were pretty good. The camera work was spectacular.
The music was great.
Score: 1
Fun
I wasn’t looking forward to this movie but I really enjoyed it, as did the rest of the family, although there were a lot of questions about who people were and what they were talking about. Thankfully, I can’t remember important information but I’m great with superhero lore and trivia.
Score: 1
Overall
The movie lives up to the first three in every way possible. It’s an excellent set up for future movies, while being a great political thriller and having fun with superheroes. It’s Captain America and if you loved the others, you’ll love this one.
Final Score: 4 Stars out of 5
