Winter Soldier Warms things up...

Rating: 8/10 (27 May 2019)

Captain America: Winter Soldier
A much better showing from the patriotic hero here...the action scenes are far superior to its predecessor l, and the whole storyline which incorporates shield more is like a giant door swinging open in the Marvel series. The masterful Samuel L Jackson is as cool as he ever is whilst maintaining a slight narcissistic yet clever image.
The introduction of some bird man (I still have no idea who that is) is a good concept and adds a needed sidekick to Captain America...and the elevator scene really shows for the first time that Cap can actually be a hard man!
The only thing that lets this film down for me is the idea of the winter soldier being an old friend. I get what the makers are trying to do there, but the ending needed...well the ending needed the end! The fact that he has been left alive tells me that there is more to come from this villainous man, when really he should be dead and buried!
J Boss Reviews gives 8.5/10
