Movie Review: Captain America Brave New World

Captain America Brave New World movie poster

Directed by: Julius Onah
Starring: Anthony Mackie, Harrison Ford
Release Date: February 14, 2025
Runtime: 1 hr 58 min
My Rating:

After an assassination attempt on the president, Sam is thrust into the middle of an international incident with an unknown antagonist. The MCU is still struggling to recreate the success they had with the films in the Infinity Saga. Honestly, I don’t think this film brings them any closer.

I wanted to give this movie four stars, and I almost did solely based on Harrison Ford’s performance. However, we expect great acting from a person of his caliber. Honestly, everyone in the cast does a great job and the action is solid. There is slight confusion around the story and its link to the previous films in the franchise.

Thunderbolts Trailer

Of course, the moment I commit to expanding my content a little bit, we get several new trailers that fall under the “geek canon” genre. DC has been stepping up their game with Superman so Marvel doubles down. First, it was the Fantastic Four First Steps trailer, then, during the Super Bowl, Marvel released the Thunderbolts trailer. Let’s have a look.

If I’m not mistaken Thunderbolts is the Marvel version of DC’s Suicide Squad; misfit anit-heros brought together to save humanity. Marvel needs a serious win right now. They have struggled since ending the Infinity Saga.

This trailer gives us some hope. The humor and dialog are very promising, I just hope they didn’t put all the funny parts in the trailer. The action looks good and engaging. I’m a little excited about it.

I am way behind on all of the series and I need to watch a couple of movies. It should be a goal to get caught up before I see any new films, including Captain America: Brave New World (which comes out this Friday). Thunderbolts* comes out May 2nd.

Movie Review: Deadpool & Wolverine

Directed by: Shawn Levy
Starring: Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman
My Rating:

It’s rare for us to be able to see one movie in the theater but to see two is even more extraordinary. I know this movie has been out for a while and most have probably already seen it. If you have not seen it Deadpool & Wolverine will be available for streaming on-demand October 1st.

As you can tell from my rating, I really enjoyed this movie. I enjoyed just about everything about it. I love the fact that it doesn’t take itself too seriously; I love the action and the comedy; I love the chemistry between Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman.

The general plot, without giving away too much, is that Deadpool needs to save his family and friends and there is only one person that can help him do that.

Prior to watching this movie, I would advise that you should probably watch both seasons of Loki. Obviously, the prior two films would be helpful as well as Doctor Strange.

If you have seen the previous two films then you know what to expect. This film is equally as obscene and has just as much gratuitous violence. It is obvious these guys enjoy playing these characters. I think they had just as much fun making this film as I did watching it.

Movie Review: Thor Love and Thunder

Thor: Love and Thunder

Starring: Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Christian Bale
Directed By: Taika Waititi

My Rating:

I finally saw the newest Thor movie (Thor Love and Thunder), but not in the theater, which I regret. Personally, I think Marvel movies are best when seen in the theater. Be that as it may, instead, we waited until it’s release on Disney+. I assume, by now, most people have seen this movie (if you’re an avid MCU fan). First a quick synopsis before I give my feedback.

Gorr (Bale) is besmirched by the gods. When he becomes in possession of the Necrosword he vows to seek revenge against all gods for their vanity and hubris. Thor comes out of retirement to battle Gorr with the help of King Valkyrie and Jane (who can now wield Mjolnir); in other words Thor teams up with Queen Padme Amidala to defeat Batman.
