Captain America: The Winter Soldier was overall an
entertaining movie. Keeping up with what
seems to be a theme of the Avenger movies, there was plenty of action and comedy. It’s hard to describe fully what the movie is
about without giving too much away, but basically it’s the Cap in present day
dealing with (obviously) the Winter Soldier, and the issue of who to trust (it’s
way more complicated than that, but that’s a nutshell overview).
A welcome new edition to the cast is Anthony Mackie as Falcon. Now he’s one of my personal fav’s so I’m partial, but he fits in well with the cast and the relationship between Cap and Falcon seems like a genuine fit. I don’t know much about the comics, but I sure hope Falcon is in future movies.
Scarlett Johansson is much better as Black Widow this time around
(compared to Iron Man 2 where I wasn’t sold), she brings some humor and
badassesness, if that’s even a word?
While a fan of Chris Evans, sometimes I’m not completely sold on him as
an action star, I think he’s much better suited in comedy and drama, his
overall performance as Cap was good. And
of course Samuel L. Jackson…he has a much bigger role in this installment as
Nick Fury and is great as always.
Overall I give it a 3 out of 5. I was entertained, not blown away, but it’s
worth the admission price and seeing it in the theatres.
