Victoria Luxford

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

MTV

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.

Every Movie Has a Lesson

The heroic eye-popping action sequences, hand-to-hand fight scenes, and extraordinary stuntwork are still present, but there is legitimate exposition going on that matters.

Rated: 5/5

Me gusta el cine

“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

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.

Excellent plot line, excellent writing, excellent story development and character development. Perfect amount of significance in the overall MCU story. Great chemistry with all actors. Despite being well received, I still think this is one of the most underrated movies in the mcu. It is just so good. Captain America deserved 2 other movies: taking place in Vietnam and then one of the Iraq wars. The additional movies should have had more espionage and Battle tactics as well. But a nearly perfect movie
