Critics Consensus

Anthony Mackie capably takes up Cap's mantle and shield, but Brave New World is too routine and overstuffed with uninteresting easter eggs to feel like a worthy standalone adventure for this new Avengers leader.

Audience Says

Captain America: Brave New World is a passable superhero enterprise that delivers the swell action one comes to expect in a Marvel outing.

Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube)

I found it absolutely impossible to get interested in it. The writing is at its very, very best functional.

Action scenes pop up frequently enough to keep the most fidgety teen engaged.

The not-so-secret weapon this CAPTAIN AMERICA has going for it is Harrison Ford. Don’t believe the nay-sayers out there: Brave New World is a 21st century Tall Tale, and if it takes two viewings to take it all in, so be it

Fish Jelly Films (YouTube)

As a major motion picture, CA:BNW is a non-entity, deceptively non-sensical in its spackled, empty-headed narrative. It's unclear what the film is attempting to say other than suggesting the necessity of embracing one's own strengths AND weaknesses.

Rated: 1/5

Mackie delivers a charismatic performance ... [But] the story sputters where it should soar.

There’s some action in the film that’s frankly unforgettable, with a creative spin on a character we’ve seen before.

Rated: Half Price

Hate to say it but it was pretty bad, story was way too similar to Civil War, which shows how lazy the writers are getting these days. Bad editing. Side characters were shallow and just taking up space. (Especially that government plant, iykyk). Had some great performances, which is even more impressive given the script. CGI was stellar, which is all they seem to care about. Overall this is a huge smudge on Marvel's record. They better shape it up soon or the bad is. S gonna outweigh the good. Or has that happened already?
