  Captain America: Brave New World 2025

  ★★½ Watched 14 Feb 2025

  Nothing short of disappointing for me, kept asking myself whether I wanted to leave early or not. Several other people left early. 

  Loved the fighting scene at the White House and things here and there. It felt like a mix of Winter Soldier and Civil War (sprinkled with Eternals). The villain was subpar (IMHO) and nothing convincing like Winter Soldier. I didn’t like the shots being taken at Steve Roger’s Cap when Bucky said “Steve gave people hope but you…

  Fresh 1994

  ★★★★ Watched 04 Oct 2024
