I just saw Captain America The Winter Soldier yesterday. I was super excited for this movie because as many of my readers may know, I'm a huge fan of the Marvel movies. Also this movie was getting great reviews.
Captain America The Winter Soldier is directed by Joe and Anthony Russo. It stars Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Samuel L. Jackson, Robert Redford, Anthony Mackie, and Cobie Smulders. It is the sequel to Captain America The First Avenger. I don't want to spoil too much so if you have not seen the movie, you're safe with me. The basic plot to this movie is that there's an assassin called the Winter Soldier who is sent to kill Captain America and he has to figure out who sent him, who he is, what his past is, etc. How is Captain America the Winter Soldier? It's really good.
In this movie S.H.I.E.L.D gets turned on itself as an organization, and Captain America is suddenly hunted by this organization that he felt was good. One thing I absolutely loved about this movie is that Nick Fury and Black Widow are more relevant than they have been in any Marvel movie previously. Captain America's chemistry with Black Widow was very entertaining. Also his chemistry with Sam Wilson a.k.a Falcon was great as well. Sam Wilson is a war veteran like Steve Rogers and they have that kindred spirit. That was very entertaining as well.
The other thing I loved about this film is that with S.H.I.E.L.D getting turned on itself and the Winter Soldier hunting down Captain America. It had the feel of a spy movie. I really enjoyed seeing that in this movie. The Winter Soldier was not in the movie for a long time. I would have liked to see more of him. But the scenes with him were my favorite scenes in the movie. The fight scenes between Captain America and the Winter Soldier were very gritty, and visceral. Overall the Winter Soldier was an awesome villain.
Overall, This is the best stand alone Marvel movie. It is my second favorite Marvel movie only to the Avengers. This is also one of the best sequels we've gotten to any movie. I'm going to give Captain America 5 out of 5 stars.
