Seldom do I rate rate movies unless they are really good, or really bad. Most movies fall in the middle, and we all know which one those are, action for actions sake. Captain America: The Winter Soldier is not a middle of the road movie, it takes action, adventure, plot and characters to a level not seen since...well...the original Die Hard. This movie surpasses the original Cap, as well as the other Marvel/Avenger movie tie-ins by sheer momentum, character growth, and of course....plot! This is the movie all action movies have wanted to be since the debut of Die Hard in 1988. And I do believe it has surpassed even that. 9 out of 10 as the other Avengers were only mentioned and never seen, otherwise, sit back, relax, and enjoy one of the best action movies made in 26 years!
