Wondering what to watch this weekend? Captain America: Brave New World may have what you’re looking for. Plus, two favorites from the Sundance Film Festival.
Marveling at Marvel again this week. In Captain America: Brave New World, the MCU has:
— Charming, charismatic Anthony Mackie as a title character who must battle both bad guys and dull writing for two hours.
— Harrison Ford as an unpredictable, populist President who survives an assassination attempt, takes an expansionist approach to mineral wealth outside U.S. borders, and in mid-press conference, unveils his inner bully and wreaks havoc on all of Washington D.C.
— A White House security head whose Israeli intelligence background in Marvel comics made her controversial for a split second before the film was released, but who I mostly noticed because other characters kept pronouncing her name, Ruth Bat-Seraph, as „Ruth Bets-are-off.
