Better than the first

Rating: 8/10 (10 April 2015)

I wasn't a fan of Captain America: The First Avenger I rated it a 5 as to me it was just an average popcorn movie, nothing stood out about it but there was nothing terribly wrong with it either. It just felt like a prelude to Avengers and not a fully fledged film in itself.
Thankfully though this sequel feels like a proper Captain America film. I liked the story of the winter soldier, there was some great action sequences and I liked Nick Cage and Black Widow getting more screen time.
This is how the first film should of been. It was enjoyable and one the better MCU films up there with the first Iron Man and Avengers (not seen Guardians yet). If like me you found the first Captain America lacklustre don't let it put you off watching this one. 7/10
