Captain America- Winter Soldier- A review

By Darrell J Banks

CR 2014 

What makes a great movie? Actors 7 out of 10, Script  9/10, and the director well if you have two out of the three you cannot go wrong, but when all three are clicking you get a movie like Captain America Winter Soldier. It makes you want to go see it again, this action comic, (the other critics get it wrong it is not a spy movie, trust me.), blockbuster. 

Disney got it right when they released it near the spring break, Easter break; it is a movie with great potential, from   the Black Widow flirting with   the future Falcon all one can say is bring it.  Captain well, he may have a super serum but he is vulnerable, as you will see in the film, things like falls, bullets etc can hurt him.  He needs his sidekick but later for that. For now in Act 1, we have to deal with the agents of shield and like Tony Stark/Iron man; some things are well best left to one person or maybe two. Beyond that well the shield agents let’s say have issues. This is not an ABC TV show.

Act two puts the Captain in a compromising position having to fight the Winter Soldier and his buddies is not easy, nor is it easy to deal with the character development this film shows through. If you like, spies well buy my short story for an old school, new school version of that.

Act 3 finds us on the verge of tears, will Captain win, can Black Widow survive, who is the enemy is it within us or changed by what allegiance we sign up for? 10 of 10.
