A star rating of 2 out of 5.

Patrick Cremona

This 35th entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is a largely flat and insipid affair. The first film to see Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson take on the Captain America mantle, it follows his uneasy alliance with new US President Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross (Harrison Ford, replacing the late William Hurt) as they tackle a conspiracy plot involving Tim Blake Nelson's Sam Sterns - who last appeared in 2008's The Incredible Hulk. Where once Marvel had created a relatively seamless interconnected universe, the attempts to link back to previous films here are clunky and a little desperate. Meanwhile, an underbaked central narrative, bland expository dialogue, consistently drab visuals, poor characterisation and nondescript action scenes combine to create a conspiracy thriller lacking even a whiff of intrigue or paranoia. Despite the best efforts of the reliably charismatic Mackie and Hollywood icon Ford -who lends the picture a gravitas it hardly deserves - it's exactly the sort of cobbled together effort you'd expect from a film which required extensive reshoots and boasts three different credited writing teams.
