CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD SCORES LOWEST MCU REVIEWS

Feb 13, 2025 10:11 AM

Captain America: Brave New World has debuted to less-than-stellar reviews, becoming one of the lowest-rated films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) with just 52% on Rotten Tomatoes. Critics cite a lack of narrative focus and poor CGI as major issues, while drawing unfavorable comparisons to previous MCU entries. Despite its troubled reception, the film is poised for solid box office numbers, but some doubt it will reach significant milestones like $800 million or $1 billion. The film follows Anthony Mackie stepping into the role of Captain America amidst concerns it fails to provide substantial commentary on its themes.

The film represents a pivotal moment in the MCU, as it marks Anthony Mackie's first film as the titular character. Captain America: Brave New World ties into ongoing narratives from previous Marvel films, particularly referencing elements from The Incredible Hulk and Eternals. Despite high hopes for the franchise's future with upcoming titles like Thunderbolts and Avengers: Doomsday, this entry seems to struggle to stand out among its peers.
