Captain America: Brave New World
Sam Wilson, the new Captain America, finds himself in the middle of an international incident and must discover the motive behind a nefarious global plan. Most of the action sequences were sharp and the mystery and tension simmering. By far the greatest triumph of the movie was the heart it allowed its main characters to have and the relationships it built between them. Captain America: Brave New World is an enjoyable watch with decent action sequences and some standout moments. However, it didn't quite hit the emotional or narrative highs of the previous Cap movies.
