Powerful
Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
Captain America's second solo outing in the MCU was something that I wasn't sure about at first. Some plot points can be a bit confusing upon your first viewing if you are not paying super close attention to every little detail. However, upon my second viewing, it all came together. In my opinion, there are only 3 comic book films that are good movies, not just superhero movies. These are movies with deep characters and complex story elements. Those 3 movies are Dark Knight, Logan, and Winter Soldier; this movie is amazing. First off, this film really does Captain America justice. He is so awesome in this movie. Just in the first ten minutes you really start to buy into the idea that he is the greatest soldier in history. I like the Russo brothers vision of the character in this film. Cap is the definition of the American Dream; the moral guy who was your great neighbor; but now in 2014, things aren't exactly the same. He quickly realizes he can't just trust anybody that easily, even his allies. Nick Fury and Natasha Romanoff are fantastic characters to have in this film for that exact reason. We know Cap can trust them, but they are still very, very complex people with shady personalities. SHIELD is hiding very big secrets and when Cap has an unknown mercenary after him, things get more out of hand. The pacing in this film is excellent. It has frequent action but there is one time where roughly 25 minutes go by without any action, but I wasn't bored at all, The things that happen in there are interesting story and character building. The film has a great look. The CGI is polished in a way that fits well with this political thriller theme. A lot of people don't like this movie, and I sort of understand, it's easy to get lost. If you know what is going on though, this film is so much deeper than it appears. Next time you have family movie night, give this one a watch!
Best actions scenes in the MCU, period. So many brilliant coreographed fights that went along with the pace of what this story tried to feed. It felt tense and not tense exactly when it needed to. All of the characters were essential to what was going on, and that pushed the movie to excellence
Movie Review: "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" (2014)To this day arguably the most thrilling action-movie, coming from the "Marvel Universe" due to live-action metal-clashing street car crashing sequences in best 1980s "Die Hard" / "Lethal Weapon" manner as further fullfilling martial arts fighting scenic ingredients, when Steve Rogers aka Captain America, portrayed by actor Chris Evans in super-motivation mode under newly-acquired directions through absolute engaging director duo Anthony and Joe Russo, who own the pace, the story pointing twists surrounding mysteriously build-up character of Bucky Barnes, performed in capable action manners with highly-trained combat skills and artificial metal arm as Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury and Robert Redford as the character of Alexander Pierce bring further suspense-pushing conspiracy material to the screen, when in 130 minutes the emotional as gripping story arc never fails to Hollywood major budget event showdowns with giant "Helicarrier" collision in extreme wide-angle high quality shots, letting second installment of "Captain America" mark one of the highlight movies at "Marvel Studios" alongside the always amazing "Avengers" assemble venues.Copyright 2018 Cinemajesty Enterteinments LLC
Honestly I think this one is 10X better then the first one. We know that Bucky is alive and was programed later on to become weapon known as the Winter Soldier.The best scenes are when Cap and bucky have a fight on the road and on the landing bay at SHIELD. When Arnim Zola triggers a bomb in the lab and destroyed the building and when Steve takes the elevator but gets attacked by agents.Samuel L Jackson definitely improved as Nick Fury in this movie and it turned out that his eye patch had a tracer or boob in it I can't remember why he burned it.Overall awesome movie 10/10
