Am morgigen Donnerstag, den 13. Februar 2025 wird der neue MCU-Film „Captain America: Brave New World“ weltweit in die Kinos kommen. Auch wenn normalsterbliche Menschen somit noch keinen Zugriff auf den Film haben, so durften ausgewählte Reviewer, Kritiker und Journalisten aber natürlich schon im Vorfeld einen Blick auf die Produktion werfen. Diese Personen haben mittlerweile ihre ersten Reaktionen zu dem Film im Internet mit der Öffentlichkeit geteilt, sodass man zumindest einen ungefähren Eindruck von der Qualität des Films erhalten kann.
Diese ersten Reviews zu „Captain America: Brave New World“ fallen überraschend gemischt aus. Einige Menschen den Film wirklich zu mögen und sie loben besonders die schauspielerischen Leistungen von Anthony Mackie und Harrison Ford. Andere Review sind allerdings recht eindeutig der Meinung, dass das MCU mit diesem Film seine seit Endgame anhaltenden Abwärtskurs fortsetzt. Angeblich macht sich in der chaotischen und unzureichenden Geschichte durchaus bemerkbar, wie viele verschiedene Schreiber (5) am Drehbuch mitgearbeitet haben.
Mich persönlich enttäuschen diese ersten Reviews ein wenig. Ich hatte nämlich gehofft, dass das MCU mit „Captain America: Brave New World“ endlich wieder einen guten Film erhält, der die Grundlage für weitere Erfolge bilden kann. Natürlich sind gemischte Reviews am Ende des Tages noch immer besser als nur negative Reviews und solche ersten Kritiken darf man sowieso nie zu ernst nehmen. Trotzdem zeichnet das Ganze in Verbindung mit niedrigen Zahlen bei Kartenvorverkäufen kein gutes Bild ab.
CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD is below-average Marvel. The director seemed overwhelmed. You felt the chaos of all five writers stitching this together. Harrison Ford was underutilized. An angry President exploding with rage during a press conference of questions is very 2025.

CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD seems to only exist to wrap up loose ends to The Incredible Hulk and Eternals. And in doing so the plot is about as convoluted and dull as that all sounds. This should have been called Captain America: Loose Ends #CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld

#CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld was grounded, entertaining, and to the point. Solid action & mild surprises. Red Hulk 👌🏿Felt like it pulled A LOT of political punches. Hard to tell whether the marketing showed too much or if the movie didn’t have much else to offer. 🤔 It was… pic.twitter.com/EYD354D5E3

CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD was…kinda awesome?
Flawed fun, to be sure — part WINTER SOLDIER lite, part quasi-sequel to INCREDIBLE HULK.
It (mostly) looks great and, despite a script in need of polishing, felt like classic Marvel fun.
Game changer? No.
A blast? Sure. pic.twitter.com/OxNgstFP3w

I used to complain about how Marvel’s problem was making movies that were „fun“ but nothing more.
Now, I just wish #CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld was remotely fun.
A dour thriller-lite afraid of saying anything. Some sparks of excitement, mostly flat. pic.twitter.com/q9KDzAv3JP

#CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld finds the MCU back in fine form with a Winter Soldier-y thriller redolent of Manchurian Candidate & Parallax View. Mackie’s future as the new Cap shines incredibly bright! Bonus: you get to hear Harrison Ford say “Adamantium.” pic.twitter.com/grIM4x6N2k

#CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld brings an exciting idea for the future of the MCU under Sam Wilson as leader. A pretty solid Cap meets Hulk film but where it shines is in @AnthonyMackie and @DannyRamirez’s performances. Harrison Ford is having so much fun and I had fun with him pic.twitter.com/cE6zv0uo6j

CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD: looks like Marvel got that Netflix memo about characters having to say everything they do so an inattentive audience can keep up. Extreme Disney+ series energy

#CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld is a lot of things: some good, some okay. It’s exciting, offers a worthwhile message in a divisive time, is a return to form for the mainline MCU after a string of disappointments, and is one of the first to progress the MCU story itself post-Endgame. pic.twitter.com/vHKlc9scAa

#CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld is an enjoyable watch with decent action sequences & some standout moments. However, it didn’t quite hit the emotional or narrative highs I was hoping for. Loved Mackie as Cap & I appreciated the more serious tone but it did feel slightly empty. pic.twitter.com/kPJINLnw1G

I only saw 30 minutes of #CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld so here are some thoughts:
Absolute blast. All-in on the story. It just checked so many boxes for me.
Felt like an MCU movie where other projects actually matter again. Lots of cohesion.
Mackie rocks, Ford is great. pic.twitter.com/pl6828092T

Kinda disappointed with #CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld
There are some good action moments and Mackie is a charismatic Cap but it’s all over the place thematically, overly complicated and ultimately a little pointless. It just never had anything to suck me in. A bummer. pic.twitter.com/FMA5ca1pg8
