Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
A waste of 90 minutes of my life
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
One of the best hand to hand combat action movie. The way cap & winter soldier fought with bear hand was really impressive. Sending nick fury off to grid was really cool. Bucky did great as a winter soldier. Black widow & sam did great. Its a complete action entertainment movie. Storyline was great. :)
This MUST be one of the Best super heroes movies i've ever seen. The actions scenes was absolutely magnificent. An Movie that worh watching more Than one
~Review originally posted via Instagram (at "@oratiosanctus") on May 20th, 2018.***In a post-Infinity War world, does a film like The Winter Soldier still hold its place in the Marvel ranks as one of its best? The simple answer, yes. When the task came to create a Captain America sequel that followed on from the events of The Avengers (2012), the task fell to the Russo Brothers (then newcomers to Marvel Studios) to create a film where the stakes felt higher than ever. How do you do that? By writing an espionage thriller that compromises the very agency the heroes always thought they could rely on, S.H.I.E.L.D.Watching this film again after a fair few years past, I was delighted by how well it still holds up; not only as a superhero flick but as a riveting and hard-edged drama. At its core, this is essentially a film that is a story of brothers: both new and old; one's gained and those lost. It's there The Winter Soldier finds its heart. Even if you remove the excellent action set-pieces that drive a huge part of this movie or the gorgeous cinematography that fill its almost every frame, the performances by each member of the cast - from Chris Evans' Steve Rogers/Captain America to Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow, to Samuel L. Jackson's Nick Fury and Cobie Smulder's Maria Hill - is the movie's real strength. The actor's performances are carried home by these threatened notions of family and the comfort that had once come with that.Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson/Falcon gives a wonderful turn in this movie, breathing life into the picture as a likeable ally to Cap, but it's with Sebastian Stan's phenomenal turn as the mysterious Winter Soldier that the film finds its true standout. No longer the Bucky we knew, he is every bit as shocking and threatening as he needed to be and Stan's performance is one driven by tragedy and emotional loss. He is utterly convincing in the role.Captain America: The Winter Soldier holds its place as one of the MCU's most consistent films to date, and is a must-watch for all Marvel fans.
Although not as good as the first, Captain America: The Winter Soldier is on the same level as the first. From a Wartime Adventure in the first movie, this sequel jumps to the spy thriller genre. An excellent choice for a modern day Cap film, but it still has a sliver of that Wartime American pride to it. The action is ramped up in this movie to a fast moving, hard hitting punch fest that reminds you just how dangerous Captain America really is. The bar is set high in the beginning, and throughout the film that bar is either reached or passed with every new action sequence. One of the best sequences involves just Nick Fury on his own, and it contains some of the best action in the Marvel Universe. Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury has never been more badass. From his action scenes to his awesome one liners this film squeezes all they can out of Nick Fury and it's never worked better. Unlike many other Marvel Movies, The Winter Soldier is a really good and lethal villain. He can go toe to toe with Cap and even make you question if he's better. You get the sense that his metal arm is something to avoid at all costs. The other side villains also earn their part in the film well. What also is very enjoyable to watch is how Steve Rogers lives in this new world, and how he struggles to face the fact that line between good and bad isn't as clear as it used to be. It's a very well done challenge that he has to face. Black Widow is back and she's even more entertaining then she was in The Avengers. Along with Steve her presence is elevated to new levels of lethality, and she's works great as one of Cap's companions. The other companion being The Falcon, who works as a fun new sidekick for Steve Rogers. The film succeeds on every aspect with only few head scratching moments to make the rest of the story work, but those few scenes that lack sense lead to story threads that make up for it entirely. Overall, this cold, hard, and intense spy thriller serves the character of Steve Rogers well, while also giving new levels of depth to returning characters and adding memorable new characters around him. So I give it an 8.4
