‘Captain America: Brave New World’ Review: Half-Hearted Marvel Movie Looks Half-Finished

If you want to feel old, read the following sentence: It’s been 11 years since “Captain America: The Winter Solder” came out. Eleven years ago, Marvel and Disney released a film about Nazis taking over the American government. That story aged unpleasantly well. Now the year is 2025 and Marvel and Disney are making hapless and cheap-looking junk like “Captain America: Brave New World,” a film without a backbone. It’s a shamelessly pointless motion picture, one that stumbles into powerful symbolism but uses those symbols to say as little as possible. In fact, nothing is said. Which sadly says it all.
