Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014) Ratings: Genre 4.5/5 | Overall 3/5



By the time I sat down to watch this I have already heard quite a lot from the comic fans that this is beyond what they actually hoped to see. Captain America being sort of a side roll in the Avengers and the first movie being somewhat less attractive than many other Marvel flicks I had mixed feelings. But Captain America: The Winter Soldier bitch slapped me and caught me at the first punch.  And it’s simply overwhelming to witness that this has being one of the best super hero movies up to date and for over two long hours it’s just intense and gripping as its first 10 minutes. And Chris Evans just climbed my favorite super hero ladder a few notches with a Ka-Boooom.

I don’t want to waste my words explain the plot a lot. It does what super hero movies supposed to do and it’s heroic, adventures etc with lots and lots of plot holes. But hay no one expect top notch script from a superhero movie so it doesn’t matter. But what it really matters is that Captain America: The Winter Soldier pulls off all the unimaginable and farfetched stunts so easily and the viewers are kept on the edge of their seats and it gives no time to relax. The sheer amount of mind blowing action that appears within short intervals are just awesome. And the interesting thing is one after the other they become stronger and better and has its unique twists to make them differentiate from the previous.

What make Captain America: The Winter Soldier so good is that it’s brilliant flow. There is no second wasted and no punches thrown in vain. And there is awesome sense of tense and unrest steadily built without putting too much pressure or indigestible acceleration of events. And visually the movie delivers a feast with super good CG combined with live action.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier is an unexpectedly good super hero movie. And it’s being a while since we have witnessed one. And it can be simply enjoyed even if anyone does not have a thorough knowledge about the previous movie or the Avengers at all. So it’s a very good standalone entertainer. Though I have no high hopes for a better Captain America in the next movie as Hollywood has this certain trend of bigger action and poor movie as the franchisees grow I have truly enjoyed this one.

Genre: Action | Adventure

Directors: Anthony Russo, Joe Russo
