Much better than I expected, especially after the first film

Rating: 8/10 (27 January 2018)

The first Captain America was fine, though not fantastic, and then got
ruined right at the end. Given that, and having seen most of the recent
superhero / comic-book movies I wasn't expecting much from this. That
is was expecting all style, no substance, token plot, wooden
performances, lives and dies by action scenes and special effects.
Captain America: The Winter Soldier has the action scenes and special
effects, but it has much more than that. Plot is fairly good. Not
watertight, but moves along well, mostly makes sense, and has some
character development.
Performances are good. The interplay between Chris Evans and Scarlett
Johansson works and the supporting cast give solid performances.
Overall, an entertaining movie and the best of the Marvel movies.
