Victoria Luxford BBC.com 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 Aug 19, 2022 Full Review Kate Erbland 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 Nov 21, 2016 Full Review David Sims The Atlantic 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. Sep 22, 2016 Full Review Don Shanahan 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 Jul 17, 2025 Full Review Sebastian Zavala Kahn 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 Feb 13, 2025 Full Review Patrick Cavanaugh 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 Sep 20, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Boots McGee 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/24/24 Full Review Eye C It’s an spectacle revisit this movie, the best from the MCU. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/07/25 Full Review Alex C. One of the best movies in the marvel universe. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/29/25 Full Review Kalissa H Really cool action scenes. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/28/25 Full Review R H 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 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/27/25 Full Review Cameron N Peak MCU, sunk me immediately. It took my focus and didn't let up until the credits rolled.
