Every reviewer with superhero fatigue needs to stop watching said movies. As an old fart who grew up reading every comic in print, most superhero movies made in the past decade have been awesome - Sony SpidermanWithoutSpiderman movies not included - and I’m sick of reading/hearing a bunch of nonsense whinging from people who never liked capeshit in the first place.
Cap4 was great. I was on the edge of my seat throughout much of the movie. The CGI was 100% fine. Everyone in my theater enjoyed it.
People who review for a living and have to go watch every movie to write something about it, and are sick of Marvel movies but this is their job.
People who hate superhero movies and know that a scathing review will be good for engagement, so they eagerly anticipate each hatewatching experience. I put the bigots in this category, too, although that’s an entirely different kind of hate. This group enjoys shitting on the movies, the companies that make them, the actors and filmmakers who support them, and anyone who wants to see them.
People who enjoy MCU movies and genuinely share their honest opinion, but they are fans so you can’t really trust their opinion either.
In the end, Marvel is for fans. If you’re a fan, you’re going to see the movie or watch the show. If it’s great, word of mouth will spread and people will see it. If it sucks, the same will happen. Written reviews and scores and everything else can be ignored.

Rant over.
I feel like there are three kinds of reviewers.
People who review for a living and have to go watch every movie to write something about it, and are sick of Marvel movies but this is their job.
