A real turning point in the Marvel Universe as it experiments with new genres, with tremendous action throughout. it’s not perfect, Robert Redford seems ill-at-ease, but eight years on it’s still terrific.

Rated: 4/5

Captain America: The Winter Soldier neatly and entertainingly puts into motion some big changes in the Marvel universe, while still sticking to its own charms - no easy feat, but one fit for a hero.

Rated: 8.8/10

It knocks down a lot of the infrastructure the previous films had created, and it does so in a way that feels organic and refreshing for the Marvel world at large.

“Captain America: The Winter Soldier” is an ideal blockbuster: fast, entertaining, visually striking, well-acted, and with something to say politically. The first film was good, but this is where things get more interesting. [Full review in Spanish].

Rated: 4.5/5

The Wolfman Cometh

Trades the bombast and heroism for a subtle spy thriller with countless shades of grey in the divide between hero and villain, which is exactly what this character needed for his sophomore outing.

Rated: 4/5

... a superhero adventure by way of a political conspiracy thriller that teams up Cap (Chris Evans in all-American integrity mode) with Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) when S.H.I.E.L.D. is infiltrated by the evil Hydra.

action packed and just a fun time. very few lulls in the action, but usually those lulls are filled with pretty people in various stages of undress but no smut.

A genre shift done right, The Winter Soldier trades spandex spectacle for a sleek political thriller — and the result is one of Marvel’s most grounded, confident entries. With muscular direction from the Russo brothers and a compelling central performance from Chris Evans, the film redefines what a superhero movie can be without losing its pulse. It’s sharp, suspenseful, and refreshingly serious — not in tone alone, but in the questions it poses about surveillance, freedom, and trust. For a film built around a shield, this one hits like a well-aimed dagger.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
