Surprisingly Brilliant!!!

Rating: 10/10 (27 July 2014)

Having found the first Captain America incredibly underwhelming and by far the weakest of the initial Marvel Avengers films I went into the film with low expectations... but WOW! I was blown away.
An outstanding film across the board!
The special effects were just as brilliant as they were for other Marvel films and added completely to the whole immersive feel of the film.
The Storyline was for me the best part of the film. A MASSIVE improvement on the first Captain America and really drew you in. A story that completely drew you in, taking you on an emotional roller coaster with some shocking twists and turns throughout. The plot wasn't just an explosive action thriller but quite a good political thriller too making you question who's the good guys and who's the bad ones.
The ending was superb too and the cast were brilliant! Excellent support cast.
An overall excellent film and one of the best stand alone Marvel films yet. 10/10 and I would definitely recommend.
