Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014) Movie Review

Captain America is back! Nick Fury, unfortunately, is attacked by a bunch of people pretending to be police officers. Fury sneaks into Cap’s apartment to tell him that shield has been compromised. And it has! So now Cap has to takedown S.H.I.E.L.D from the inside. We have ourselves a movie.

I would just like to start by saying that I have recently gotten a lot more into the marvel universe. This means that I know who a lot of the smaller characters are in the marvel movies. One of these being ‘Batroc the Leaper’, who by the way is brilliant in this movie. Most importantly regarding Batroc, however, he doesn’t die, so he is probably going to appear in Captain America 3.

The most important thing in most superhero movies is the action. This movie is no exception and it does it wonderfully. Batroc comes back as my favourite. His fight scene with Cap is absolutely high-flying in that they are just flipping everywhere and kicking each other. Also Falcon is utterly badass in the last third of the movie. The fight scenes between Winter Soldier and Cap are really cool as well which I am happy to say aren’t affected by any shaky cam, which is becoming more prevalent in superhero movies recently.

The story in the movie is really interesting in that S.H.I.E.L.D has been hyped up over the past 4 or 5 marvel movies to be an ultra secure and reliable super powered intelligence group. This movie uncovers the problems that were probably there since Iron Man 1. One thing that I wonder is why Coulson hasn’t come back yet because If anyone has watched Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, they know he’s alive.

This movie has some really awesome action from even the small characters and interesting story that isn’t usually explored in a superhero movies. There are very few downfalls to the movie. The characters were interesting and the action was enthralling. Two things a superhero movie needs to be brilliant. I give ‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier’ a 8/10 - Awesome
