Captain America: Brave New World (2025)

This seems to be Marvel's boysy 90s action tv-style superhero series - think A-team's all-male cast, its leather jackets, grey military bases, tanks and fighter jets, and lots of good old-fashioned fisticuffs - and while there's special effects, of course, they are toned down - the bad guy wears a hoodie and simply has a painted-green face for much of the movie - which makes this story of a mind-controlled White House being led into war an okay change from Marvel's otherwise younger cartoony smart-arse superhero series.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014)

This superhero action thriller on a mega-scale makes a couple of mistakes: 1) teaming the hero, Captain America alongside team mates with abilities that seem to one-up his own, and 2) ending with a glimpse of what is to come in the next inevitable instalment, leaving viewers exhausted at the thought of the whole tumultuous thing happening all over again, only with villains with a different skin...but, still, this is a very good superhero action from Marvel.
