Captain America The Winter Soldier seamlessly utilizes umber of innovative techniques to create a film that seems to seamlessly merge the real world with the fictitious Marvel Cinematic Universe. Using the "political thriller" genre for the basis of this movie proved to be very successful as it help give the story that relatable, realistic factor that the first movie lacked. The different approach that the director's took with Captain America also helped elevate not only the movie, but also the status of the Super Soldier himself. The deciding factor that puts this movie above other typical superhero movies is its villain. The Winter Soldier was a perfect choice for the villain, an helped introduce the more darker tone that most Marvel movies lack. However, Captain America The Winter Soldier does have its fair share of cons, with the movie at times being a little to cliché, but overall, it still manages to prevail as one of the best action movies of all time.
