Now this is how you do a sequel. Captain America: The First Avenger was my least favourite movie from Avengers Phase one, this is easily my favourite movie from phase two.

We are shown how the captain is dealing with living in current times and working for shield. He is a real bad ass in this one. Even if you never liked Captain America's character before, I'm guaranteeing it that you'll like him after watching this movie.

The story was really good and gripping. Had some really good twists and turns. It wasn't just a superhero movie, it was more like a conspiracy/political/Action Thriller with a superhero in it and that really made it different from other Marvel superhero movies and I loved it for it.

Chris Evans upped the ante as Captain America, he was great in this. Even more awesome was how fleshed out Black widow, played by Scarlet Johansson, and Nick fury, played by Samuel L Jackson, were in this movie. Both got their best roles respectively so far in MCU movies. Nick fury was plain BAD ASS. And black widow has come a long way from that typical robotic spy-ish character from Iron man 2. Her character was great in the Avengers and it was greater still in this. The chemistry between her and cap was nice too. We are introduced to a new character too, Falcon, who acts like a buddy to cap, and he was pretty good. The winter soldier was a pretty good villain. His presence was powerful and fearful and was always accompanied by a great score. Wished he got more screen time though.

The action scenes were AMAZING. Hand to hand fights, car chases, gun fights, aerial combat, you name it, ALL were just awesome to watch and really made up for the lack of action in the first part. Soundtrack was pretty good.

The only thing I didn't like was that there was no mention of Hawkeye. I mean he works for Shield so they should have at least come up a with a line or two to tell us that why isn't he helping out etc. That and no Agent Coulson, he was like the go-to familiar guy in MCU movies, not having him this time was sad.

The events of this film have made the wait for Avengers 2 even more hard. It is one of the best movie of the year so far and one of the best MCU movie. Aside from Iron man 3, phase two has been really strong. Highly recommended. 8.7/10
