A Blast! Breathes Refreshing air into the Marvel Avengers Canon.

Rating: 8/10 (4 April 2014)

I just went to see Captain America: The Winter Soldier with very little expectations. After the last dud "Thor The Dark World" Which could possibly be the worst superhero film to ever grace the silver screen, I felt betrayed by Marvel. They haven't made a good movie in 2013. But now that I have seen this, I think this is going to be a great year for Marvel movies.
The plot: Steve Rodgers is framed for murder, SHIELD is compromised, and a new evil arises. But with the help of The Falcon and his other companions, Captain America fights to save the lives of millions.
The thing I like a lot about this movie, is that it takes itself very seriously with very little humor. Thor 2's problem was the constant use of humor. It can work, but that film had terrible writing which made the comedy scenes cringe worthy and immature. The Winter Soldier uses little humor, but the humor that is in it is very high brow and funny.
Also, The action scenes are good also. Even though they look like Ballerinas jumping around, it still makes as much sense as traveling through black holes.
The film's best parts are when things get emotional. Steve pays a visit to Peggy, his old love interest from the first film. I actually felt touched by this scene, and is one of the strongest parts of any of The Avengers canon. You feel sad that he missed all his life and never got a chance to dance with her until now.
The Stan Lee cameo was funny. He played a security guard. He seems to always make me smile, whether he is in an amazing superhero film or a dull one.
Danny Pudi gets a very small role in the film as one of the people working for shield. But just seeing him made my inner fan boy go wild. (He is Abed from Community)
The Villains in the film are not all the special, Robert Redford's character Alexander Pierce does not give any punch I felt. But The other villains, such as The Winter Soldier and SHIELD Soldiers are cool.
I have nothing else to say about it. If you love Marvel, you'll love this film. If you are a non demanding film-goer, then you will like the action sequences. Its good fun at the movies. I wouldn't pay to see it in 3D, but you can if you want. Lets hope Marvel keeps going on a streak with movies like this.
