A successful spy-superhero movie from Anthony and Joe Russo

Rating: 9/10 (27 June 2020)

The writing is fantastic. Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely do fantastic job of incorporating all elements. Captain America's past and present are well-bridged, especially his relationships with Peggy, Bucky, Zola, and the military; his friendships with Sam and Natasha, his trust issue with Fury, and his developing romance with Sharon. The character development and growth are nicely done. The villains are awesome, the Winter Soldier is extremely dangerous, and so do Alexander Pierce, Rumlow, Sitwell, and Hydra.
The casting and performances are great. Chris Evans as Steve Rogers/Captain America, Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow, Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier, Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson/Falcon, Cobie Smulders as Maria Hill, Frank Grillo as Brock Rumlow, Emily VanCamp as Sharon Carter, Robert Redford as Alexander Pierce, and Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury are perfect.
The production set, props, costumes, and music are wonderful. The tone is perfect. The action sequences are terrific. The visual and special effects are magnificent.
