REVIEW : CAPTAIN AMERICA WHATEVER

[number six]

It's been reshot 11 times! It's a followup to the Captain America TV show (which was terrible), the Eternals (which was terrible) and the mostly forgotten but admittedly underrated Edward Norton Incredible Hulk movie. Huzzah?

So I wasn't expecting much with Captain America 7 but it's.. OK.

The plot does incorporate a lot of things from old and/or disliked projects but it mostly tells a coherent story. There is some attempt at investment.. not a lot.. but some. Anthony Mackie is OK here and they kept the America Sucks angle down in this one which is nice. Falcon/Captain America has so many gadgets now he's basically Iron Man with a shield though.. well minus the charisma. I'm still not sold on this character being A-list it still feels more like a mid-carder.

The surprise here was a reasonable performance by Harrison Ford taking over the William Hurt (RIP) role. He's the only character in the movie to have a real emotional arc.

Action sequences were fine. The pacing was fine. Overall it's fine.

Is it enough though? Disney has been in a slump and if we're talking pre-endgame Marvel this is a mid tier film like a Captain Marvel. They still really need Fantastic Four to hit solid.

Movie sucked . Harrison ford is old . Way old ! Not recommending it

this one wasn't bad.  I agree with jack's assessment, not great but passable and definitely better than most of what we have seen recently out of marvel.  No reason I can find to say it sucked really (unless of course you're on that 'must hate at all costs' bandwagon of life these days)

heh? Bandwagon . I do not go with the flow or bandwagon nothing in life . It sucked because of so many reasons .
Cap is not a super hero or took any drug to make him super . Yet most of the flick he performs superhero strength type stuff .  Maybe another under cover Krill or mystique type changeling or was it all wakunda tech .  Mr Fords acting looked to me like he was not into the role .
And last what most likely is a dei hire Shira Haas/Ruth Bat-Haas character lmao 90 pounds soaking wet being a badass John wick crouching tiger cracked me up .   And omg the cgi factor was over the top . If I never seen this movie it would be a zero loss .      I love so many films and content as seen in my own reviews . I Bandwagon nothing Brian !  Glad you enjoyed the show

I saw it last night and give it a 5 out of 10 at best.
I agree with Rich, for a non super soldier serum hero this Cap/Falcon was waaaaay more powerful than he should have been in all ways going up against top tier military and a red hulk.  Not that marvel is realistic but this was way over the top in my opinion.

thanks Russ , and guess if snap ,crackle pop is what movie goers want then thus will be a hit .  For me it has to be more than just explosions and beatings !!!!

Rich, in hindsight, the movie is worse than even previously written about by me.  It was a real mess and forgettable.
An insult to Marvel fans and adults.  I know some may disagree and that's fine.
