I’ve never seen a Marvel movie presented less like a Marvel movie than CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD. Also the CGI looks… I dunno. Maybe it’s fine and I’m just old.
And maybe it’s not fine. …Alas, that doesn’t mean that I get to not be old anymore. That hardly seems fair.

That being said: Red Hulk doesn’t look too bad.
Opening it on Valentines day is a…bold choice.
Nothing about it says date movie, so are you tacitly admitting all of your hardcore – gotta-be-there-opening-night fans are lonely incels?
I’m sure TheMouse™ thinks so. That tracks with the contempt they have for what’s left of the marvel audience.
It’s Madame Webb all over again! “Want to bring your date to a terrible movie that will be a meme? Want to sleep on the couch after, or possibly get ghosted? We have you covered!”
Also, the dramatic split-screening as well as a bunch of the posed shots in the trailer are very reminiscent of the (unfairly) derided Eric Bana Hulk film.
Some of us still consider it visually the perfect comic book film.
Ok, that might just be me.
That Hulk movie was ahead of its time.
The key failure for Ang Lee’s Hulk was the villain, IMHO. The story and tension went weird with a villain that became virtually abstracted.
Everyone I read blamed the framing and visuals, but I think that was more concrete than the take on the Absorbing Man.
Of course, my opinion doesn’t count for much.
