Action Packed Marvel Intensity,

Rating: 9/10 (15 April 2014)

Captain America: The Winter Soldier is a fantastic movie with a very well developed plot and an outstanding cast. I kind of expected this to be an average movie that would give us one more look at Steve Rogers on his own before we see him with the rest of the gang in Avengers Age of Ultron next year, but I was mistaken. It stood out on its own as a great superhero film, and is much more action packed than the first Captain America. I won't spoil for anyone what happens in this movie, but I will say that it will certainly have a huge effect on future Marvel films, and I really am looking forward to see how they deal with this situation.
The only issue I had with this movie is that the actual Winter Soldier is poorly developed, we learn big pieces of information about him throughout that is all quite vague. I hope they develop the character more significantly in future films.
The cast is great, Chris Evans is back and as good as ever, Samuel L. Jackson is fantastic as always, Robert Redford is on point, I never expected him to be in a Marvel movie and he did a really great job. Anthony Mackie stars and I have very high hopes that we will get to see more of him as he portrayed the character with great depth, as well as a sense of humour. Lastly, Scarlett Johansson returns as Black Widow, and I really enjoyed her performance. Her character develops a lot more and she's get more time in the spotlight than she did in Avengers. She is slick, cool, ruthless and delivered with pure charisma by Johansson, who has an excellent presence on screen.
It is action packed, exciting and all takes time to add great scope to its key characters. Captain America: The Winter Soldier is a thrilling and very enjoyable movie that I would recommend to all Marvel fans.
Steve Rogers must battle the Winter Soldier as he struggles to deal with the world he lives in now.
Best Performance: Scarlett Johansson
