The main message of the movie seems to be a biting commentary of the state of the media today, and how people are being divided by media-driven narratives. The film is pretty direct with its criticism of social media, and has a very unique take on the real-life “bot” phenomenon that pushes phony, media generated outrage. The movie is really an indictment on our self-absorbed selfie culture where there is no such thing as “bad” publicity. It’s a bit satisfying to see this since the social-criticism is well-deserved, but the movie at times gets a little too obvious making this point.

Movie Review: Captain America Brave New World
A new Marvel movie is out so of course, I saw it. I see all of them. Captain America Brave New World, (henceforth to be abbreviated as: CABNW) is the fourth Captain American movie, but the first one featuring Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) as Captain America. It’s really a sequel to The Incredible Hulk. MCU fans will like it because it does provide a little bit of continuity from other films like the aforementioned Incredible Hulk, and the Eternals, and from Falcon and the Winter Soldier. It doesn't do much more than that. It's not an entry-level movie for someone who's not seen any other MCU movies.

All in all, Civil War is worth watching, but if you're looking for a partisan fight, this movie will disappoint. It completely avoids politics and ideology thus, it's safe for conservatives worried the film would be a work of Hollywood propaganda.

This is more than just a "feel good" movie. As a matter of fact, it will make you feel quite uneasy at times, as the subject matter of child exploitation can be hard to deal with. Sound of Freedom does a great job of telling this important story.

One of the more ridiculous 'holes' claimed is that people started wearing gloves when they dropped off ballots, not to keep their fingerprints off the ballots or drop boxes, but to keep their hands warm. Do most people you know wear surgical gloves to keep their hands warm?
