Metacritic: 47 from 13 reviews

CBR (8/10): Sam Wilson soars over one of the best Marvel movies in years, as Captain America: Brave New World proves that the MCU hasn't lost its touch.

GamesRadar (3/5): Anthony Mackie's Captain America earns his Stars and Stripes in this uneven, un-MCU thriller. Sam Wilson and an always-excellent Harrison Ford drag Brave New World into unfamiliar narrative territory before it eventually succumbs to familiar Marvel failings.

The Guardian (2/5): Harrison Ford juggles green screens, red fists and vanilla plotting

ComicBook.com (3.5/5): Captain America: Brave New World has its flaws but it’s a movie that works quite well as a return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and what said universe can still achieve when it really puts its mind to it. This sequel might not stand toe to toe with Captain America: Winter Soldier, but it certainly follows in its footsteps, much to the benefit of moviegoers.

ComingSoon.net (7/10): Captain America: Brave New World is fun and rewatchable. It doesn’t reach the heights of any of the previous Captain America movies or a lot of the MCU, but it has just enough going for it, particularly in the first two acts, to make it a worthy watch for any comic book movie fan.

IGN (5/10): Captain America: Brave New World feels neither brave, nor all that new, falling short of strong performances from Anthony Mackie, Harrison Ford, and Carl Lumbly.

Dexerto (3/5): Captain America: Brave New World hasn’t redeemed my faith in the MCU, and it doesn’t hold a candle to its franchise-defining predecessors, but I can’t lie: I had fun, and that’s what actually matters. 

SlashFilm (5/10): Competently made but lacking any emotional soul, Captain America*:* Brave New World is a forgettable, low-energy, by-the-numbers sequel.

Empire Magazine (3/5): Pacy and punchy, this is a promising first official outing for the new Captain America, even if some awkward and inconsistent moments hold it back from greatness.
