Early reviews for 'Captain America: Brave New World' are a bummer

2025 is set to be a massive year for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The MCU is dropping three major titles this year.

'Captain America: Brave New World' will kick off the trio of significant titles for the brand this calendar year.

The newest installment in the Captain American saga is set for an official release on February 14th; however, early reviews are already coming in for the film.

If you are someone who has high hopes for Anthony Mackie's theatrical debut as the Star-Spangled Man, then you might want to look away.

If you do not want to see any spoilers do not scroll past this point.

#CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld both met & exceeded my low expectations.

You can feel the reshoots throughout the film & the main villain was a big miss.

But this is the most cohesive the MCU has felt since 2019. Sam has good chemistry w/ his partners & it can deliver the feels. pic.twitter.com/VPUsNxuXeT

'CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD' isn’t a return to the MCU’s glory days.

Instead, it’s a profoundly mid, muddled action movie. pic.twitter.com/iQIkM2Rllr

If you're new to the superhero film genre, then you need to know something. Longtime fans of the genre may be the hardest fans to please when it comes to making a good movie.

Currently, the newest Captain America film has received one of the lowest ratings of Marvel projects since 'Avengers: Endgame.'

However, not all is lost. There are some good reviews on the film for those of you who are glass-half-full fans.

#CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld is a big win for Marvel Studios! Sam Wilson is undeniably Captain America. He embodies everything needed to lead the Avengers. The action is great! The story is very close to the vibes of The Winter Soldier. Watch on the biggest screen possible. pic.twitter.com/AjoLs7yZtb

#CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld is flat out good.

It feels like an MCU return to form, progressing the overall story with a thrilling tale of its own. It’s pretty nonstop!

The villain feels a bit secondary. Solid action.

Harrison Ford is ALL IN. Mackie really claims the mantle. pic.twitter.com/BZtJ0XdkPY

The MCU needs Brave New World to swoon audiences, as the company hopes to have a massive year with 'Thunderbolts' and the new Fantastic Four film, releasing later this year.

No matter what your opinions are going into this film, it has to be a must-see. Harrison Ford plays a freaking Hulk, for crying out loud.
