This movie is very good I loved it so much.

This is indeed a great piece of superhero entertainment. If superheroes and action, plenty of action, is within your sphere of interest then this movie truly delivers. There is even a story to support the stunts and special effects fireworks that is not too shabby. As a matter of fact, for being a Marvel-based movie, the story is more than acceptable.
As the blurb states, our hero is meeting a few adaptation issues after having been awaken int…

Put *a little* bit of brain in a superhero's movie script and you will have everybody talking wonders about it.
This is not a bad movie but neither astonishing. Fun and entertaining and with great FX, as expected.

The Winter Soldier has all the action, quirky one-liners, and bold adventure that we have come to expect of a Marvel movie.
Plus we get introduced to a new/old villain as well as some fun romantic tension between Steve Rogers (Captain America) and Natasha Romanoff (The Black Widow). (Scarlett Johansson is perfect in this role.)
But this film also has some minor irritations all stemming from Marvel's tendency to make _Captain America_ more …

Till the end of the road.
Stonking! Now this is more like it, after the disappointments that have been Iron Man 2 and Thor 2, Captain America gets a sequel of substance and sparks. It manages to blend everything required to make a great superhero film, lashings of derring-do heroics, action bonanza, adventure, some sexy sizzle and of course the key, a story with brains and mystery elements.
True enough to say that the considerable contribut…

**A long format review from 2014**
Misleadingly, the titular Winter Soldier is essentially a minor subplot in what is more of an espionage-technoir-thriller meets spectacle-epic than your typical super hero film. The real meat of the movie, thankfully, has some more substance behind it. Though it wouldn't surprise me if we learn later that Sebastian Stan's villain was forced to take a back seat via last minute script changes à la Hawkeye in _T…

Captain America: The Winter Soldier opens up with an action sequence that's better than most action movie climaxes. It then sets up a really intriguing story before launching into one of the most suspenseful car chases since the Simpson/Bruckheimer 90s era. After that it's scene after scene of amazing action coupled with a complex story about heroes and villains being caught in a system that is too big to bring down, unless you're as good and lev… read the rest.

Third time seeing this and still a fantastic all-around film, not just a comic book movie either. Briskly paced and a great complex story, this is a Marvel movie that felt complete from beginning to end, and actually advanced the universe so well. Chris Evans continues to embody the role and nice to see Scarlett Johansson given more to do (up to the point of this film's release) than in Iron Man 2 or The Avengers. **4.75/5**
I probably rate th…

Entertaining!
<em>'Captain America: The Winter Soldier'</em> makes for an enjoyable flick. Chris Evans does great work as the lead character, while Scarlett Johansson gives her most fun to watch performance in the MCU up until this point; it would've been great if she had such a role pre-<em>'The Avengers'</em>, so she wouldn't have felt so out of place to me in that.
Anthony Mackie and Robert Redford are notable in their respective roles, …

Picking up from his rather frosty denouement of 2011, "Capt. America" (Chris Evans) finds himself seventy years older but still with battles to fight. This time, he teams up with "Nick Fury" (Samuel L. Jackson) and his SHIELD agent "Natasha" (Scarlet Johansson) to combat the ruthless warrior known only as the "Winter Soldier". It doesn't take us long to discover that there is quite conspiracy going on too - with an attempt on the life of "Fury" b… read the rest.

**The darker tone and spy plot are a perfect fit for Captain America taking the MCU into new territory that results in one of the franchise’s very best.**
The Winter Soldier broke new ground for Marvel. The Russo Brothers took Captain America and immersed him in a dangerous world filled with subterfuge, spies, and betrayal. This was the first MCU film that didn’t feel as bright and light-hearted as its predecessors, and this new tone fit Cap’s…

Not as good as the first. Still a good movie though. The only thing I don't like is, he's suppose to be Captain America. With all these super powers. So why does he need help all time.

"Captain America: The Winter Soldier" is deservedly one of the most beloved and well-regarded movies in the MCU, a film I also count among the franchise's very finest. It distinguishes itself by successfully operating as a 70s-style paranoid political thriller, which is a mature, intellig…
