    Captain America: Brave New World

    ★★

    By far the weakest Captain American entry and not a patch on the previous three.

    For a seriously long movie, it ultimately doesn’t earn its brutal(!) running time. Though, mercifully, there is actually an intermission half way through. 

    I’m stealing the words from someone else, but it’s a movie about ideas, which ultimately feels like it doesn’t go anywhere. 

    Some great performances, particularly from Ritchie, but also Brodie.  

    If it had been an hour shorter, I would have given it an extra star.

    I also just felt like…
