Captain America: The Winter Soldier

Captain America is back, struggling to find his role in today's world while defending it from a threat from the past.

This one is right up there with Marvels best; the first Iron Man and The Avengers.  It's quite possibly the best, and changes everything going forward in the Marvel cinematic universe.  This movie has it all; really solid action, suspense, intrigue, comedy, conspiracy and even a little heart.  The main actors do a great job in their roles and have plenty of chemistry between them.  It's fast paced, keeps you on your toes, wanting to know what happens next.  For the Marvel fan, it's also loaded with fun Easter eggs, with appearances and mentions of some past Marvel characters and ones to come in future films.  It's particularly fun to see Cap' with his superhuman powers that he gained in the 1940's during WWII, mixed with the lethal skills of today's most highly trained soldiers.  Almost a Jason Bourne with super powers.  It is just a bit too long, you feel at some point during or just before the climax of the film, but the entire ride is loads of fun, and as with all Marvel movies, stay in your seat for a mid-credit and end-credit scene.  Oh, and it is a little on the violent side; lot's of shooting, injuring and killing.

**** Must See
