SUMMARY (from IMDB): Steve Rogers, now finding difficult to fit in to the era of today then leads an assault against a friend turned rival from World War II, a Soviet emissary known as "The Winter Soldier" and his lead of a precarious uprising.
MY THOUGHTS:
I watched this sometime in July and it took me till October to get to writing a review. That’s how I am nowadays.
However, one of reasons for me stalling with reviewing was definitely the emotional turmoil caused by Captain America: The Winter Soldier which still makes it hard to find the right words to describe my feelings about this film.
I can’t think of anything I didn’t like in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, as there were so many thing I loved:
- the overarching theme of the evil rooted at the very core of the good as Steve stumbles upon a terrible conspiracy against humanity,
- the incredibly developed characters and in-depth explored relationships, even minor ones, despite the turbulent pace of all the action scenes
- and, yes, the spectacular fighting choreographies and special effects.
In conclusion to my sort-of review, I’m pretty sure everyone but me had seen and fallen in love with this franchise ages ago, but if you haven't: what are you waiting for?
RECOMMENDATION: Captain America: The Winter Soldier is an action-packed but heartfelt film about the struggle against evil found in the very pores of what was supposed to be good; a tale of not just one hero, but many; and, of course, a story of a long lost friend who may yet be found again. No need to say I’m excited for Captain America 3.
This was a REALLY good movie. Well, most of the Avengers-related ones are. Captain America still isn't my favorite (he's just so GOOD), but these movies definitely make me want to seek out the comics revolving around him.
ReplyDeleteI usually prefer morally grey character to the utterly good ones, too, but Cap is an exception (there have to be exceptions to the rule, duh). And yes, the movie was great, as most of Marvel movies are.
