    Captain America: Brave New World

    ★★½

    This was not a good movie, but I didn’t hate it. Really suffers from the assumption that everyone that watches it will not only be in-tune to the events of the Celestials (which came out 4 years ago) or the Falcon/Winter soldier TV show (also 4 years ago) but also the Incredible Hulk, which is BARELY MCU and came out SEVENTEEN (17!) years ago.

    Would absolutely recommend this to…

    Been meaning to watch this forever.

    Great great movie. Probably more like a 4.25 for me, but we’ll give it 4.5 instead of 4 just for the Jennifer Lawrence monologue about how the Eagles win when her and Pat are hanging out. Absolutely incredible performances from her and Bradley Cooper throughout.
