Rating: 7/10 (7 May 2014)

I Know there are probably worse super heroes out there. But Captain America is probably my least favourite of the more well known ones. A Superman rip-off who throws his shield at people? Ye, great. I almost gave this one a miss. But when almost everyone recommended it too me. I was nice enough to give it the benefit of the doubt.
Now I haven't changed my mind about the first movie. It was still fairly lame, rushed, and had a lot of poor decisions in it. But they really tried to up their game in this one. I have to say. As Much off a goof-ball as Captain America is. The More straight forward, yet action packed approach this film takes works more in its favour. I was entertained by a movie that I thought was going to suck. And I always love when that happens.
"Captain America â€“ The Winter soldier" is a stand out "Marvel" movie, in that its rekindled my interest in the series for the first time since "The Avengers" was awesome. These guys are making so much money now, and they've got most of their origin stories out off the way. That I guess they can just get on with making some great movies. Onwards and upwards I say!
