I really wanted to enjoy it more than I did. I like the idea of Sam as Captain America and I like the questions it raises about race in this country. But it felt like a TV show. It felt small and kind of claustrophobic in scope. I have a hard time placing exactly the problems with it

It lacked a message unlike TWS. It blew the big reveal (Red Hulk) in the promos so it lacked punch. The partnership with Joaquin isn't as earned or compelling as the ones with Steve/Bucky or Steve/Sam. The big villain was taken down relatively easily for being one of the smartest people on the planet. It felt like it was just trying to tie loose ends from other movies but had the loosest of threads connecting it to the big multiverse buildup happening in all the other big tentpole MCU movies. It also missed a huge opportunity to follow up on how the real Rhodey is doing.

That said, I still thought it was OK. It was still visually a blast, introduced some fun villains for the future, and a wild card in Red Hulk. Lower middle tier for the MCU. There has certainly been worse.

I think your assessment is pretty spot on. I did feel like they were aiming to tackle race a little further with Isaiah (continuing with that theme from the Falcon and Winter Soldier) but then never really directly addressed it. It might have been weird to all be about civil rights but a much stronger theme would have been nice.

I did still enjoy it, but I think I enjoyed Falcon and Winter Soldier a bit more.
