Captain America: The Winter Soldier Review And Thoughts


This movie in my opinion is one of marvel’s strongest title in the MCU so far,even almost topping The Avengers and that is saying a lot,for everyone knows that even though MCU is a big superhero franchise,they love to jump around in many genres,for example Thor: The Dark World is a fantasy movie,with a dash of space opera thrown in,and the Ironman saga is a political thriller and science fiction movie,Much like Ironman movies, Captain America’s sequel is also a political thriller movie,but done right.

So,why this movie gets to be compared to The Avengers?at least according to me. Because me as a critic,felt the thrill,suspense and excitement the movie is trying to deliver,every plot twist is done charmingly perfect,every time an important moments is being delivered I was on the edge of my seat,totally unexpected from the Captain America Franchise,looking back on its predecessor this sequel is the great follow-up avoiding sequelitis on the process too

We start of the movie with its initial premise,well for the most part,Ol’ captain America trying to cope with the modern era,the sequence following this is beautifully done delivered the charming but grim feel we were supposed to have,but the kicker in the sequence is,The Reunion of Steve Rogers and Agent Peggy carter(yes she is still alive,although very aged),in an almost The Notebook-esque scene(but not as cheesy) is a great scene to start to movie with.

The next plot twist(s) that maybe earned the reputation of the movie is The (Temporary)Death Of Nick Fury and the reveal of hydra compromising S.H.I.E.L.D,the atmosphere of literally no one to trust,with nick fury dead(for the moment) we see captain america trying to scrap whatevery ally he could find,and eventually finding out the truth,this is my favorite part of the movie,no doubt “The Hydra Reveal” that one sequence really placed the movies foot as a great experience for me,the total burst of unexpected plot twist in one single sequence left me totally speechless,dazed and in awe,just like how captain must have felt,bravo movie.

But for every great scene there must have some kind of retribution,for me the reveal that nick fury isn’t dead made the movie loses a lot of steam,i know that they couldn’t possibly kill him,but after that almost everything is predictable,but I do love the implication of this movie though,with S.H.I.E.L.D gone,what will happen to our heroes,what will happen to tony stark? What will happen to black widow with her information is all spread,what’s next? Yes this movie made a unexpected turn in the MCU,a good one of course,and me as a critic,fan and audience can’t wait to see what’s next in the MCU arsenal. Cheers and stay awesome.


Oh and everyone already knows that its bucky,I don’t even have to point it out.
