this movie doesn't have a low floor or a high ceiling. i fully expect to come here this weekend and say, "that was aight. not bad." i think i might prefer this more than seeing all the huge hype blockbusters of the past few years that basically all disappointed
Based on the early reactions I've seen on YouTube most are saying "not bad " :ehh: or "could've been better but hey could have been worse" :manny: I think the highest most people will give this is a 7/10 and at the lowest a 5/10

that's basically all it could have ever been tbh
It's probably going to be on par with the first captain America movie for most people. (Average to good) The sam Wilson era has alot of potential just get stronger writers and tweak whatever issues people had with this movie and we got something good here :ehh:

This makes me want to see the movie more.

see the reviews

action is gonna be terrible :hubie: that signature falcon-cap kick-twist attack move ain't as cool as someone behind the camera seems to think it is.

this film will depend on the script and actor interplay. harrison ford and breh cap are almost guaranteed to do a good job.

from that trailer it looks like a souped up version of TFAWS (which is not a good thing).

reminder:



that is how you build narrative tension. this film ain't gonna have it.

:francis:


no those are examples of what will not be in the film. AS I SAID.

as for the trailer they should slow it down. pace it better. create a flowing mini-narrative.

the absence of such a theme and the cut-driven-action tells me the direction will be poor.

the hackneyed ideas. destroy whitehouse. jump out window. throw shield in anger. HAVE they RUN OUT of new ways to present that stuff already?

here is a trailer with a theme, tension building, good pacing and new ways to present powers.




breh-cap pulling cap-1 level moves (basic wires) in cap 4 :picard: we have already moved to better SS fight presentation have we not?





good for you.

despite the good actors this film will be ok at best.

That's what I expected the reviews of BNW to be like.

Anyway, I don't have any interest in watching BNW in theaters. I'll just watch it when it comes out on digital/streaming platforms.

I read between the lines just fine.

:mjlol:

like i said. hackneyed action (i.e. rehash of done before stuff). poor script. poor structure. poor pacing. no tension building... (i.e. flat). reviews say the film is speed run.

"Critics praise the performances and action in Captain America 4 but criticize the script and pacing."

"heavy on action and full of political intrigue. It excels in its Red Hulk and its many hand-to-hand (or hand-to-shield) fight sequences."

"It didn’t quite hit the emotional or narrative highs I was hoping for"

"“A flat political thriller with scattershot emotional stakes"

"That’s perhaps the biggest weakness of the film, in that many of these story beats could have used much more time dedicated to them to help reinforce their themes overall. Had Captain America: Brave New World had an additional half-hour of run time, many of these themes might have been made stronger with more chances to breathe."

"With familiar drama driving Brave New World forward – and fewer comedic aspirations than your Guardians or Deadpool and Wolverine – the predictably-conceived action is even more of a letdown. Sam knows his way around a pair of jet wings, and we’ve seen that Vibranium shield ricochet off of countless tactical helmets – most of Brave New World’s action feels hesitant to push too far outside of that comfort zone, with no real sense of novelty in either concept or execution"

"Harrison Ford Hulk-smashes together a hodge-podge movie"

I just realize these comicbook films come off as life and death to some people and they can't think objectively. It's a trailer; the FIRST trailer, and you are ALREADY saying it's trash. Tf...

here is a trailer with a theme, tension building, good pacing and new ways to present powers.

there is no multi-part theme WITHIN the trailer. and i gave you an example as well ...

it's far from good.

you will see.

and implied that will mean the same for the film itself.

reviews saying the same thing.
