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.

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

If Brave New World is a sign of things to come, then the MCU is in more trouble than we thought.

It feels as if Sam is merely the guest star in someone’s else story in this particular chapter of the MCU’s interwoven narrative.

Rated: 2.5/5

It's an unfortunate revelation that this brave new post-"Endgame" world was not quite ready to give [Anthony Mackie] a sunny spot where he could shine.

Epoch Times

The film works best as a platform for Mackie to emerge from Chris Evans' shadow, but doesn't successfully create a distinct enough personality.

Anthony Mackie salvages the Marvel film with a lackluster plot.

Very much so enjoyed this, for the most part. A little more action and story depth would’ve made it better but a solid movie overall.

Well paced, great action sequences, great cast and Anthony Mackie is a fantastic Captain America. Went in not expecting much but this was really good. I will say that this is a definite sequel to 2008’s The Incredible Hulk. Many returning characters after 15 years and it was nice to know that they didn’t completely ditch that storyline, respectively cementing it into the MCU’s timeline as canon events. I grew up with the incredible hulk movie so this was a special one. Definitely watch!
