In heroes we trust

Rating: 8/10 (31 August 2018)

Imagining awakening up after about 70 years of being ice cold. That is what Steve Rogers (played by Chris Evans) has to deal with, and it's not just about watching every single classic movie since the 40's. It's also about morality and finding out that those who you trust may not be so trustworthy. When Captain goes after the Winter Soldier, he is branded as a traitor and must line up with Black Widow (played by Golden Globe Nominee Scarlett Johansson) and Falcon (played by Anthony Mackie) to get to the bottom of what is going on here. He also finds out that the Winter Soldier is more than just an assassin.
Let me just say this: Spider-Man is my favorite hero, while Batman has produced the best superhero of all time (The Dark Knight). But, when it comes to the MCU, my favorite hero is Captain America. In this film, not only does he fight for what's good for America, but that also includes going against government officials whose morals have gone out the window. If the American government is corrupt, he will go against it. Captain America is a hero that we need in this time of government turbulence.
As for the actors, well they all play their parts well. Steve Rogers practically IS Captain America, and he conveys the confusion and the morality of Captain America well. Scarlett Johansson is at her MCU best in this film; she is the one who stays by Captain America throughout this whole process. Academy Award Nominee Samuel L. Jackson is his Samuel L. Jackson self in this film, which is always a good thing. But this time we get a couple of newcomers. Anthony Mackie is awesome as Falcon, as he gets a few pretty sweet moments himself. And the great Academy Award Winner Robert Redford always does a great job with whatever role he is presented with.
All in all, a great film! Go and watch it!
