I had absolutely no expectations whatsoever. I loved the time when everything Marvel made was gold. Unfortunately they have fallen off quite a bit. Falcon being Captain America was hard to accept but I gave it chance. While Mackie was a good actor I just can’t see him as Captain America. Every time they referred to him as Cap, I was reminded that he was not Captain America. The character belongs to Chris Evans who played Steve Rogers so well. This isn’t a blow to Mackie as a superhero just not Captain America. Also I took issue with the fight scenes. Mackie was stabbed, pummeled by Red Hulk, tossed all over and had huge rubble from an explosion dropped on him as a human with gadgets and no super solider serum. I think even for Marvel that is stretching it. The movie isn’t bad but the Red Hulk was a beast and Mackie successfully took him on and flew on missiles and disarmed them. As a Hulk fan I just can’t believe it. Red Hulk or Not. I wasn’t won over by his new side kick falcon 2.0. I would like to Mackie in another superhero role just maybe not as Captain America. I guess I just spent too many years watching that be Steve Rogers. Blame it on Marvel for making us love him so much he hard to replace.
