I'm not sure why I care so much about a movie that I have no intention of seeing. We have two stories from Vulture.
Up first is ‘I Think Everyone Knew This Is Probably Not Going to Be a Good Film’
According to a technical crew member on Captain America: Brave New World who was present on set and has knowledge of the film’s postproduction process, Disney is all too aware of its potential liabilities — on the heels of disastrous test screenings last year that necessitated a lengthy 22 days of reshoots, the 11th-hour addition of a new supervillain played by Giancarlo Esposito, major sequences being cut, and the film’s release date being punted from February last year. In particular, Harrison Ford’s Red Hulk/Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross character created uncomfortable political resonances. A demagogic military leader who transforms into a rampaging, orange-skinned superhuman, the character shares certain unmistakable traits with Donald Trump
The movie was directed by Julius Onah, a guy that had a first movie titled something that you can't say on social media or a Google-hosted website, without being canceled. You can research that movie's name at IMDB.
And they go into that length.
That is an article that was written before the movie came out. What's up next is a review from someone who saw the movie. Marvel Is Now a Giant Slop Machine
This is technically the fourth Captain America movie, and the first starring Mackie (a very good actor and a standout in previous entries such as Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Ant-Man). Sam Wilson has inherited the mantle (and the shield) from Chris Evans’s Rogers after he bowed out of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Avengers: Endgame. (Evans himself did come back in Deadpool and Wolverine, because nothing in these movies ever stays gone.) Sam was, of course, Steve’s pal Falcon in previous films, and he was also one of the heroes of the Marvel television series Falcon and the Winter Soldier, alongside Steve’s other best bud, Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan).
If you are still planning to see this movie, well, bless your heart.

Someone is going to see it, though not a lot of people. It sold 40 million dollars worth of tickets Thursday and Friday, which is either a lot of money or not very much depending on how you look at it.
