    Captain America: Brave New World

    ★★

    Originally called “New World Order” reduced to a weeny hut junior title because it was too “dark”. Continuous rewrites of the script and reshoots. 

    A somewhat sequel to 2008 The Incredible Hulk without Bruce Banner after 17 years. Missed opportunity of not using The Leader’s original character design. 

    No focus/development with Sam Wilson as Captain America. Relegated to a smaller role when the movie is literally called “CAPTAIN AMERICA”!! Bad CGI and atrocious green screen. 

    And they cut Seth “FREAKIN”…

    It was a MUST re-watch. For sure Kieran Culkin gives a free spirit heartfelt performance. Same with Jesse Eisenberg. 

    Benji’s character was a great parallel for David. Active, outspoken and clearly a deep emotional person who’s suffering from a heavy loss. I just wish there was more room for it. Maybe the whole subplot tour, held back a rich story of what could’ve been just between Benji and David. 

    Still glad he won his Oscar. Although Jeremy Strong and Guy…

    Getting flashbacks from Joker: Folie a Deux…

    Three stars for Zoe Saldana for making this “concept” work?? 
    Everything I heard about this film and Selena Gomez…THEY WERE RIGHT! 

    Eugenio Derbez you were right! 

    And this got nominated and won awards?? What a joke.
