1. Overall Plot - 10/10 This movie is very well done. The story is as good as it gets. It is one of the most intriguing and well done Marvel films ever. This movie is very impactful on the overall MCU. We get to see how Steve has adapted to his new life, and how he deals with his new challenges. His character, along with all the others in the film, go through tons of great development.

2. Entertainment / Engagement - 10/10 This movie is full of action. And the story is super cool to watch it all unfold.

3. Emotion / Investment in Story - 10/10 Steve Rogers past coming back is very cool, and absolutely full of emotion. The emotion in this movie is very grand. It affect the universe as a whole. And every character goes through their own emotional journey.

The story makes and keeps you super invested the whole time. It is very entertaining.

4. Theme and Depth of Story - 10/10 This movie is full of fantastic themes. I think the best one is to stand up in what you believe. It is what the Captain America character is all about, and this movie shows that attribute perfectly.

This is one of the deepest MCU movies. It explores so many great things about the characters, history, and different great comic story lines.

5. Characters - 10/10 All of the characters are fantastic. I think this is the best we've seen Captain America, Black Widow, and Nick Fury.

I absolutely love the introduction of Sam Wilson as Falcon. They nailed it, and it really couldn't be better. I love the brotherhood he develops with Steve.

The Winter Soldiers introduction is very, very cool. It is perfect in every way. The way you learn more about him throughout the film is awesome. And it sets up some amazing story lines for future films.

6. Acting / Writing - 10/10 Zero complaints on the acting at all. I think this is the best Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, and Samuel L. Jackson have been in the MCU. Anthony Mackie did fantastic as Sam Wilson.

The writing in this is the best in the MCU. It shows off just how big of a deal this movie is. And shows Captain America's character perfectly.

7a. Cinematography - 8/10 Nothing super special or mind blowing. But still super good. I do love the way they do the flashbacks.

7b. Choreography - 10/10 This has my favorite fight scenes in the MCU. The fighting is done very fast and very well. It is very entertaining to watch. The Winter Soldier in particular has some very cool moves while he fighting.

8. Score - 9/10 Captain America music is super good. And this movie delivers on that. The music for Winter Soldier is super good. It is on Hans Zimmer level. It has the same vibes as The Dark Knight trilogy score.

9. Editing / Pace - 10/10 The editing is very good. I especially love how they make it feel much more serious. And any flashback scenes are edited very well.

The pacing is perfect. It gives the right amount of time to set up and keep you invested in the story. I love how much action this movie has. And they do a great job making it not feel rushed, with action scene after action scene.

10. VFX/Practical Effects - 10/10 This whole movie feels very real. There isn't anything that even feels like special effects. That is probably because there is a lot more practical and less CGI.

Average Score: 9.7/10

My Overall Rating and Final Thoughts: 9.9/10 This was my favorite Marvel movie until Spider-Man No Way Home. And it honestly still might be. It takes one of the best Marvel comic heroes, and displays him perfectly in this movie. The action scenes in this are the best we've seen. And everything to do with Shield is just very cool to watch.
