Let's hope for a star spangled banger...
Completely agree with you. I thought both Mackie’s and Ford’s performances were good and well executed. Overall the CGI was good even if minimal for this type of film. The action scenes I thought were good, but could have used a few more. And I like how Sam still struggles whether he can live up to being Cap and whether he should take the super soldier serum.Just saw the movie. I liked all the characters. Performances were decent (although something felt off about two hand to hand combat scenes).
Story was rather anti-climactic in large part because of how they handled the villain. The various parts of the film feel disconnected from one another, which is probably due to all the reshoots. Looking back you can tell this story is not the one they had planned to tell.
It’s difficult for me to give this movie a single score. There was stuff I liked, stuff that was okay, and stuff that was not good. So, I am going to break up my score.
Characters: A
Performances: A-/B+
Story: C
Villain: D
Entertainment value: B-
Not a bad film, but not great either. It exists somewhere between good and just okay. It felt too short. With a longer third act and a bigger direct conflict with the villain I would’ve given the film higher ratings. The third act is really where the film kind of fell apart for me.
And, of course, this all just my opinion.
In any event, I’m far more excited for Thunderbolts and Fantastic 4 than I ever was for this movie! In fact, the Thunderbolts trailer from the Super Bowl played before the film and as I was leaving the theater one girl said to her family that the Thunderbolts movie looks really good.
My mom had the idea that he was referring to the fantastic 4 and them coming to earth-1999Completely agree with you. I thought both Mackie’s and Ford’s performances were good and well executed.

The end credit scene is obviously setting up Battleworld, something they’ve been hinting at and building toward in this Multiverse Saga. That along with the clear direction of Mutants I think future Phases will be very interesting.
