(ESP-ENG) Captain America: Brave New World - Movie Review!
Hello friends, good vibes to all.
The superhero movie genre, even though I like it a lot, it must be admitted that in recent years has had a significant drop in popularity. This happens for a combination of things, nonsense plots, a nefarious CGI, the whole issue of the woke culture that for many years flooded the Marvel/Disney films and series and that in the end made the fan completely divorced from the brand. I understand those days are behind them, Disney's CEO himself has said that those approaches were going to phase them out of all their programming in the face of dwindling support that has become very evident. This new Captain America movie I was reluctant to see but in the end I made up my mind and well, here's what I got.
This new installment shows us a Sam Wilson a little more consolidated in the role of Captain America, I have always had my doubts towards him but in this film his performance is quite decent. Here he faces a global threat that occurs after Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross is elected president of the United States. This man has a history within this universe, he was the general who was obsessed with the Hulk in his movie. It turns out that there is a world conspiracy, as always happens, where in the middle is a “newly” discovered element and that the world powers are crazy to get their hands on it. The issue here is that the mind behind it all is another known, a villain of the universe called “the leader”.
Basically this is the whole film, finding out who is behind it and how to get to him. In between things like a possible third world war, conflicts of interest, war problems, etc. will happen. This kind of plots seem repetitive to me, there is no emotion, there is no room for plot twist, there is nothing interesting, it is just a means to an end. This is not to say that the film is bad, surprisingly it was not what I expected but for the better, I imagined it much worse. When you start giving the film time you know how it's all going to end, it's very predictable. I think that's the problem with Marvel movies sometimes, they left behind the superheroes being the center of everything to turn the stories into very political and geopolitical themes.
I noticed that the use of CGI was pretty decent, the doubt was how the red Hulk was going to look like and I honestly think it passed the test. One of the weakest points of Marvel in recent years was precisely this and here there was an effort to improve it. Also to say that all the action scenes with their choreographies were well done, we have to give this point to Anthony Mackie, the comparison and pressure with which he lives is very great, I think that when he does things well we have to recognize it. The bar of Chris Evans was very big and high, it is true that Mackie still lacks but little by little. Actually all the scenes, or the vast majority of them, fulfilled.
Acting. I think Harrison Ford is one of the best in the film. Very sober, every time he is on screen all the attention is condensed on him, it's the least you can expect from an actor of his stature. An actor a bit wasted was Giancarlo Esposito, he has an appearance here but very short and ended up being relegated a little, I would have liked to see him a little more. In general terms, Anthony Mackie does not do bad, I think we have to get used once and for all to see him in the suit. The fact that he didn't take the serum at the time makes him more human and that effort of the character to fill Rodgers' shoes is very noticeable.
Anyway, a film that felt more like a Hulk spin-off than anything else where the main character is Captain America; a bit weird if you ask me. I give it a 6/10. It's not terrible as they wanted to paint it, it's true that it went through a lot of reshoots, there was a lot of editing, they took out characters but it's still something you can see. It's not the worst of Marvel, I'll tell you that. It lasts less than two hours. I leave the trailer here.
¡Un abrazo a todos, nos vemos en la próxima!
