Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Captain America’s frenemy the Winter Soldier stares down Cap and snatches his shield
The second installment in the Captain American franchise is a great film! It has great characters that get enough to do in an action-packed movie with a pretty good story and heart-pounding action sequences. It has a new formula for superhero movies because it is almost a spy thriller. There are some good performances such as Chris Evans, who shows a different side of the character. Captain America is experiencing the present and he’s sad and kind of lonely. Everything he knew in the past doesn’t really exist anymore. Samuel L. Jackson does a good job in the screen time he gets. The direction is well done by Anthony and Joe Russo because they brought a new political thriller feel to the movie. I did have a minor issue with one the story lines with the creepy computer but otherwise the other story lines are good. Captain America: The Winter Soldier is a great superhero movie and it makes me look forward to further installments in the franchise.
