While there are some “hard number” metrics to cite when it comes to how a movie is received, Rotten Tomatoes, Metacritic, IMDB, there’s one that gets circled back to more than others when it comes to audience reception: Cinemascore.
This usually measures what’s a “crowd pleaser,” skewing higher in terms of blockbusters a lot of the time as it tries to measure audience satisfaction. Now, Captain America has the lowest Cinemascore in MCU history, a B-, which may not sound that bad, but in context, it definitely is, especially when you see the overall chart. That would be:

Initial box office receipts are pretty good, and better than other low-scored MCU movies, but this still has to be somewhat alarming for Marvel to have a movie received this poorly. As it stands, this is the third lowest scored film on Rotten Tomatoes, the lowest scored film on Metacritic and the lowest scored on Cinemascore now.
This chart single-handedly destroys any credibility Cinemascore may have had. Cap 4 is better than Quantumania, Eternals, The Marvels, Thor 2 & 4, and Black Widow.
Black widow was terrible, and Thor 2 was pretty middling. The others I haven’t seen… It all seemed like a cash grab and downhill slide after ant man.
Can’t say I am surprised cap 4 got bad reviews, Anthony Mackie has just not been a show stealer as Sam Wilson. He’s not bad in the role, but he’s always kinda broken the MCU immersion for me by being kinda b-list over the top. Of course… I can (and would) say the same about Paul Rudd.
GASP!
You shut your filthy whore mouth! Paul Rudd is a delight, regardless of the writing, directing, plot, or other actors.
Lol I didn’t say I don’t enjoy him from time to time. I think he’s pretty funny. I said for me he breaks immersion. I’m watching Paul Rudd as Ant Man for example, instead of watching ant man.
Paul Rudd is a gorgeous human being. Anything with him is at least a B+.
Anytime i see Mackie i just remember when eminem destoryed him in 8 mile
