The marvel universe phase 2, saving the best for last

Captain America the winter solder this is caps first solo movie where he is alone in modern times. I was looking forward to seeing Cap in our time, I wanted to see how Cap deals with modern times doing his thing and how being alone would effect him. Taking place After the avengers, Cap is now working with S.H.I.E.L.D, and that is a big part of the movie. This is the guy they send in to deal with the REAL bad guys.

The opening part of the movie, CAPs on a mission leading a small crew of soldiers. We see him running and jumping taking out bad guys, and I'm thinking this guy is a bad-ass. he is throwing that shield in impossible ways, watching the shield bounce around the room and always back to Caps hand. But its so cool to see. you don't think of it, that this is impossible, you won't try break it apart and nitpick it. You just think, I want that shield. It's heavily used in this movie and Its amazing to watch. This is one of the coolest weapons in the Marvel universe movies. He has lost everything after being frozen, he is trying to catch up in modern times, and adapting to this new world. We see Cap and S.H.I.E.L.D how they really have conflicting ideologies, with how things should be done and with secrets and hidden agendas. And its great to see how Captain America deals with S.H.I.E.L.D on it, and seeing Captain Americas personality and it's what makes this movie so great. There is so much in this movie that makes it so great. Falcon makes his appearance in this movie, he is a military guy to, and is great seeing him and Cap bond and watch him become Caps first friend in modern time. Falcon played by Anthony Mackie has some big parts in the movie as a friend and in battle, and with every scene being enjoyable to watch. The Black Widow played by Scarlett Johansson, makes her appearance after her stint with Iron Man and the Avengers, we get to see a lot more of The Black Widow then we have in any of the other Marvel movies. And she holds every scene well, and in battle she can hold her own. There is so much to this character and seeing her with more screen time I can see her in her own Marvel movie. The Winter Soldier makes his appearance at random points throughout the movie, his screen time is more limited. As the movie is played out we see, He is part of the picture but not the bigger picture, I don't think it was warranted to name the movie after him but I think they went with it because it sounded cool.

The story is great, we can relate to it more in real life then any of the other Marvel movies. We see plot twists, and cover ups and government leaks. after the Edward Snowden leaks The Winter Soldier story of cover ups and secrets felt more real. I like how they played on the past and cults and tied everything together. The story worked so well and every second is enjoyable to watch. I couldn't find anything negative. You do have to watch The First Avenger to understand some parts of the movie, there are some flash backs here and there to help new people to the Captain America world, plus the flashbacks also serves to show what the character is going through and feeling.

We get to see S.H.I.E.L.D agents who where in the Avengers movie, they carry on there acting styles from what they did in the Avengers

Finally a true Captain America movie. This is Cap from the comics. He is fast, he is strong, a super soldier and they show this off throughout every battle. The first avenger we saw small parts of Cap in action and other parts in cut scenes. In the Avengers movie, Cap had a back seat, next to Iron Man, The Hulk and Thor. I felt Hulk, Thor and Iron Man where team A and Captain America, Black Widow and hawkeye where the weaker B team. I felt Caps ability wasn't utilized correctly. It is great to finally see the real Cap, able to take punishment nonstop, able to jump down from up high and land without needing a parachute, watching him run through office walls or doors with easy truly made me feel I was watching the real Cap. His agility and speed and movement was so cool to watch and felt right. In the Avengers movie Cap and Iron Man threaten to fight, I was thinking, Cap would easily lose. Now I'm thinking Captain America would hold his own and could win that battle, me giving it a 55 45% on who would win. Chris Evans is Captain America I couldn't see anyone else playing him after this movie.

This is one of the best Marvel movies right up there with Iron Man and the Avengers. If not my favorite superhero movie ever made, and I can't wait to watch this again. Those who don't really like Captain America I recommend you see this movie it is really that good. I give this movie a must see and must own when it is finally released to buy
