Once again Marvel fails to distinguish its boyscout hero by not even touching on the profound sense of loneliness a man out of time would feel, but that's more than okay here. It's difficult to overstate the impact of these action sequences which are not just shot & choreographed for maximum clarity & power, but they're as compelling & thrilling as those in the first Matrix. Story-wise it wisely plays Cap's whitebread virtuousness off shadier returning favorites & several black & female heroes.

According to boxofficemojo.com, Cobie Smulders is in two of the top three highest domestic grossing films of 2014. There's no need for alarm, but that is literally what my suicide note would read.

One of those unicorn-like sequels that manages to surpass the original by quite a margin, this crosses popcorn entertainment with paranoid seventies-ish conspiracy thriller (it even has Robert Redford in it), and it's a great deal more intelligent and relevant than any of the other Marvel flicks. The seemingly unstoppable Winter Soldier is a worthy foil for our patriotic shield bearer who in Falcon literally gets a wingman. Also, ScarJo had some funny lines. It's Top-10 superhero movie material.

Concerned with the past and just how far Rodgers can physically fall and still be ok. Cap seems to be the wrong hero for a tech-oriented espionage thriller but that's the point - he mirrors the villain as a military asset who lacks the historical context to question the mission or faction. They're like, both the Winter Soldier dude I'm telling you. It's all a conspiracy. The JFK bullet left an illuminati chemtrail that leads right to Nick Fury as long as your calculation assumes a flat earth.

Possibly Marvel's most grounded comic book film to date. The "realistic" violence was surprising but well choreographed. It's like Bourne with supers minus the Paul Greengrass'ish epileptic fast cuts. The politics are more nuanced than your standard comic film and addresses government spying, data leaks, erosion of personal freedom, authoritarian national security agencies, as well as setting up the dubious future premise of putting powerful superheroes at the forefront of mankind.

Marvel continues their winning streak, this time defying the laws of physics by making a honest-to-god good Captain America movie. In more ways than one, it's the most mature film to come out the Avengers series, even if it ultimately climaxes in the usual OTT mayhem.

Marvel definitely know their shit, but it doesn't change the fact that CA imo is a pretty uninteresting super hero. And since all the Marvel stories now take place after The Avengers, why don't Steve Rogers just call his green, iron and demi god friends? Or are they not interested in keeping world peace unless they are the main character? I know, thats not how it works, but it would make sense... And the 3D - f#%$~g useless and at times annoyingly disturbing!

It's rare to see action sequences this well choreographed, and rarer still to see them presented with such clarity of composition. For the Russos, long-time veterans of critically-beloved TV sitcoms, this is punching their ticket to the big leagues in a bold way. Marvel's finally found a happy balance in telling a self-contained story while acknowledging previous (and laying pieces for future) adventures. Mackie is a killer addition to the crew, and the conspiracy plot is full of clever touches.

Damn good. Improves on the original quite a bit, with a plot that doesn't stop moving long enough for you to think about anything questionable. Whole cast does well, Anthony Mackie's Falcon was especially good. The ending has big implications for the future of the MCU, which leaves you leaving the theater pumped for what will come next. Bring on the Guardians, the Twins and Ultron!

You know you have a really good movie on your hands, when your only complaint is 'Why did they call it the Winter Soldier? He's hardly in it. But on the other hand, naming it after the actual enemy would have been a spoiler, so I guess that makes sense." And some of the action scenes were kinda dark and made it hard to see what was going on. But like I said, a really good movie. Also upping the score for having awesome female and non-white characters who actually do stuff and kick ass.

The latest issue inside the "Marvel Cinematic Universes" is a "Captain America" story that serves as "The Avengers:1.5" despite being a surprisingly entertaining stand-alone movie. This spy thriller feels more a kin to a "Jason Bourne" or "Mission Impossible" movie than the standard superhero fair. Although the film's plot about S.H.I.E.L.D is more important for future films it services as a device, alongside the "Winter Solider", for "Captain America" to explore his own truth as a hero.

This movie handled a ton of focus characters intelligently, was edited tightly, made a good argument against intelligence overreach, had a deep and powerful friendship between a man and a woman with no romantic tension, was edited tightly, and basically juggled half a dozen different aspects of making a movie worth watching like it was no big deal.

More thoroughly competent superhero shenanigans from Marvel. I liked the cast, it was nicely shot, the action was handled well and the dialogue was fine, if sometimes a bit forced. Perhaps the mash of action/plot/characters/themes got a bit messy at times, but this is solid fare. These are good films, and I'd like to see more in the series, but I'm starting to feel a bit like I've seen it all before.

Who'd have figured, a big-budget superhero film about a dude named CAPTAIN AMERICA that is blatantly leftist, attacking drone warfare and the national security state? And that political commentary is neatly packaged in an exciting action film that manages to bring the necessary amount of weight to its proceedings without totally losing sight of its roots as comic book fare. To my continued surprise, Captain America is the best thing Marvel has going for it; even Iron Man takes a backseat.

As the Marvel formula begins to feel a bit tried and tested, this genre-bending entry, featuring the once "least interesting Avenger", shakes the stiffness off and presents a 70s paranoia-esque spy thriller with enough twists to back it up. You still get giant airships crashing too though, not to worry.

So not only is Captain America NOT the Winter Soldier, the Winter Soldier himself is barely in the movie. It starts out great, with Sam Jackson's action scene being a highlight balanced by interesting character drama. Then the plot is unveiled and it turns into dumb action schlock. I'm seriously way more interested in Steve Rogers adjusting to the 21st century than how many ways he can throw his shield. Every Marvel movie seems to be this way, and I'm sick of it.

I approached this sequel with tempered expectations, having been unimpressed with CA's first outing, but I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this film. Not so much an inconsequential entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as a perfectly capable standalone film, TWS combines exciting set pieces and engaging characters in the form of a slick, political action thriller. And they even managed to work in a Pulp Fiction reference, kudos.

A miraculous superhero film, from the perspective that for the most part, it is hardly a superhero film at all. The acting and fight choreography were magnificent - with a few exterior action scenes that felt like De Palma got his cojones back. The only thing I can negatively say its direction, is that it's a remake of Metal Gear Solid - distractingly so. But since I've been wanting a MGS movie for a decade I'll look past it this time.

I thought I was SO COOL when, while watching Cap'n, I though to myself, "Can't wait to write the Criticker review where I make allusions to '70s spy movies and overall sense of paranoia. Boy, that'll make me look smart!" Then I get here and realize I'm about the 8,000th person to make the same observation. Ok, well, still, I appreciate the directors striving for more than CGI whack-a-bad guy shoot-em-ups, and succeeding. I'm almost completely burnt on super hero movies but this one stands above.

My favorite of all of the mediocre Marvel Studios movies. SLJ kills a bunch of cops, the movie doesn't pause to explain why all of Cap's friends are women and black dudes, bonecrunching DTV-ish action and the funniest cameo one of these movies is likely to have, ever.

I understand I'm in a minority here but I liked the first Cap picture better. Sure it was nostalgic and campy but at least it provided a little depth to the comic book genre. Winter Soldier is a much more standard comic book film with all the standard superhero cliches (electronic percussion soundtrack, shaky cam cinematography and martial arts-based fight choreography, etc) all placed in the Bourne universe.

I don't have a lot more to add to what others liked about this. I can mostly repeat how it's pretty grounded (for a Marvel movie), has well-executed action scenes and a story that's more than just an excuse for colorful entertainment. This Marvel movie actually pushes the cinematic universe forward, and I'm genuinely interested where all of this is going. If you enjoyed this, I can really recommend Ed Brubaker's entire run of the Cap comic.

This may be the best, big super hero movie I have seen since The Dark Knight. The acting is all on point, and it balances a kind of Bourne Identity, on-the-run action plot well with compelling bits of characterization and humor. For someone that hates Captain America in the comics and wasn't that impressed by the first movie, I was completely sold on this film the entire time and am very excited for the next installment.

The Winter Solider blew my expectations out of the water and I absolutely loved it. I thought the first film was a mediocre addition to Phase 1 but this sequel is the best of the Phase 2 instalments to follow The Avengers. Evans gives his best Cap performance yet and Johansson, Jackson, Mackie & Redford are all strong too. The set pieces are superb and plot wise it has the most content to date. I loved the spy and espionage tone and I am excited by the direction that the MCU is going in.

A horribly bland and transparent criticism of the NSA (as if we really needed a major blockbuster telling us this) with pastiche set-piece and not a single character presented with any sort of interesting effect on the action. Makes The Dark Knight look nuanced and intelligent. Fistfights were nice, though.

Still one of my top five MCU films and one of my favorite modern action movies. The action, car chases, and choreography are superb, and it would further develop Steve Rogers as a character. It was nice to see him adjusting to the real world, and I really enjoyed Black Widow and Samuel L. Jackson's performance as Nick Fury. Feels a bit like a 90s thrill-ride and I mean that as a compliment. I don't have any real complaints about this movie. Acting, direction, and writing are all solid.

Can simply be viewed as a very fine, and actually suprisingly violent action movie. Credit also has to go to the Russo's for getting the most out of The Avengers most dreary lead character in a way Joe Johnson never did. In the mix, there's also some fairly effective, if clunky, Marvel Universe politics, an interesting villian, and some good character development. It's almost a shame the Russo's will be directing Captain America 3, instead of one of the MCU's more compelling protagonists.

The ONLY thing that holds this back is that Cap is... kinda boring. It has nothing to do with how Evans is playing him, it's the character itself. Despite that, this movie is TONS of fun. I skipped the 3D this time; heard it wasn't great. The Winter Soldier is a great character and Sebastian Stan is perfect in that role. ScarJo continues to add depth & substance to Black Widow. Though I'm critical of Cap, his relationship with Winter Soldier reeled me in big-time. Among my favorite MCU films.

The Russo Brother's take on the the Captain America character not only keeps with the same beats as the first, but improves in every category. The Winter Soldier keeps the campy and grounded feel the first one brought, all while bringing on a spy/espionage feel that made the movie that more compelling. A combination of a excellent story not too cluttered with characters, well done action and affects, and a script that keeps the same Marvel tone that everyone loves. The Russo's hit a homer.

What a 2014 for Marvel. This is tied for my favorite Marvel Cinematic Universe film. The humor was well-written but not overdone, the twist was genuinely a surprise, there were touching moments (Cap's visit with Peggy Carter), a wonderful supporting cast, and so on. I've heard some people criticize Redford's performance in this one, but I thought he made for a great villain, a different kind than the over-the-top Red Skulls and Ronans of the world.

The world's most boring superhero rides elevators, as Hollywood warns about our surveillance age. To call it intelligent would be an overstatement, but at least it tries, so eh. To square up against captain snooze fest we have Robert Redford, the only living actor capable of less facial expression than Liam Neeson. I found this strangely befitting. To summarize: A grueling romance subplot aside I didn't see a single scene that I wish I hadn't, nor a single scene that I ever need to watch again.

This is probably my favourite in the Marvel Series Extravaganza, or at least in close competition with the Avengers. This movie really is a thrill ride from start to finish that keeps the action going, while giving itself some time to breathe throughout. Scarjo deserves her own movie (I have my reasons). My only complaint is sometimes they make you think Cap is in danger, but (and not really anyones fault) it just doesn't work since you know he'll be ok and will survive the movie.

Marvel takes the Iron Man 1 plot formula and applies it to the Cap. The results are a VAST improvement for this hero. The most significant element is, of course, the action; in a word, incredible. Marvel has some talented choreographers and they're work is apparent here. The action is largely grounded and gritty vs. the CG frenzy of other Marvel films. The plot is as derivative and cliche as any other superhero film, though I admire the valiant, though weak, attempt at a political commentary.

Another slickly competent production from Marvel. There are some problems. The freedom vs. security political subplot is written so broad and simplistic a 7-year-old can grasp it, and the movie pulls a "no j/k not really" on arguably its bolded plot development. Still, as an action flick it satisfies. Great fight choreography. Great use of Cap's shield as a weapon. Elevator fight was very cool; very nice use of space. Abed cameo was rockin'.

It's telling, though, that for the movie's climactic fight, Captain America swipes his old World War II-era uniform from the Smithsonian and dons it for battle. Forget the murk and uncertainty: Cap wants to be a red-white-and-blue hero. And he's left standing in the end--standing for everything he is, perhaps everything we'd want to be. It's hard to be good in his world, just as it's hard to be good in ours. (pluggedin.com)

I was a bit disappointed. The Captain America character just felt out of place in the conspiracy thriller genre. The whole plot feels so much bigger than Cap himself. The supporting characters didn't do much for me, either. Well-made, looks nice, the action and effects are decent. It's actually quite brave, too, with what it does with the MCU. I think what the film was largely missing for me was fun. It's still a solid entry in the franchise. Just not one I liked as much as the others.

I've got a strong bias towards Captain America, so I probably would have liked this movie even if it was schlock. Luckily for us, it was pretty damn good. I enjoyed the action (and was surprised that it was the Russo's first action venture), but everything outside of that was the main selling point for the movie. I saw the movie with a friend, and he said "I was honestly just waiting for the action to get over so I could see everything else". Easily one of the best Marvel efforts.

I actually liked the first Captain America better. This is still an enjoyable movie, but I just felt that it was going for twists and turns, but I saw most of them coming. Even so I really did like how Cap, Black Widow and Falcon made a pretty awesome team.

Captain America is a difficult concept to adapt; here they tried large scale conspiracy angle (this kind of infiltration really happened in Turkey a while back, so, unfortunately, it is not that crazy) and although it is not really bad; it is not very good either. The action around Winter Soldier is good; but his stoicism that works very well in comic medium is an impediment to character development in cinema. It is rather a weak link in MCU.

Retroactive 74=>77 for buildup to Endgame. An average action movie, but the setting feels oversaturated after Avengers. We get modern car chases in bland cities, Nick Fury and Scarlet Johansson doing the generic modern spy thing. There are a few new characters, but there is just not that much new from a lore perspective. Robert Redford doesn't have the same menacing presence as Hugo Weaving's Red Skull. The action sequences were a bit fast-cut and nauseating.

Downright fantastic from start to finish, this is the follow up Captain America needed after the First Avenger. It was more dramatic and less forumlaic than its predecessor. Each peice of the puzzle fit nicely, the only fault being that the twist regarding the Winter Soldier did not get the resolution it deserved. Also I feel like mentioning that Scarlett Johansson deserves a solo movie after watching her peformance in this film.

"The Winter Soldier" is a huge step up from the slightly lackluster debut of Captain America and overall ranks as one of the best Avengers-related outings. Yes the plot and action might be totally blown out of proportion and the occasional sentimentalisms might irritate some viewers, but the entertainment levels are very high thanks to the heart-stopping action and the unpredictable twists. A definite winner.

Certainly more ambitious than the original, though not perfect: The titular character is given hints of nuance ("What makes you happy?" "I don't know"), as is the mysterious Fury (finally) but both remain underdeveloped; The Winter Soldier is a formidable opponent and the SHIELD internal drama adds some complexity to the antagonism, but both the villain reveal and the Hydra twist feel far-fetched and a little dumb. Above criticism though, is the fantastic action choreography found throughout.

The driving force is really Steve Rogers's virtuousness, and it's not just his patriotism, sense of duty, politeness, and desire to serve. He has a way of connecting with people wherever they are, a disarming sense of compassion and comprehension that tells people he's on their side. This interpersonal talent makes him a quick, accurate judge of character that's as valuable an asset as his super strength and speed. It makes me eager to see more.

A bunch of boring paramilitary combat instead of the 'action figures bashing each other' combat I enjoyed in the Avengers, and boring talk about what's an acceptable use of power instead of having a Loki or Ultron keeping things fun.

Exhilarating choreography and, compared to its first installment, a nuanced look at peace and freedom politics (still not very nuanced but at least bearable) contribute to making this a pretty solid action film.

Good punching & interesting narration about American self-consciousness. It's a bit silly and blatant even for such a popular style and suffers from the Marvel syndrome of cramming in too many characters and using too much time setting up sequels. However it does have some weight compared to many of these blockbusters (including the previous one) in both style & substance. Could use some variation in locations but is pretty enjoyable visually. Some good stunts & the character stuff is ok.

Excellent pacing and action. Much better than the original and, in my book, more interesting than the Avengers. It capitalizes on some of the paranoia that exists in America right now (are we talking about the Illuminati or Masons?) The cast is all golden and Mackie in particular is a great addition.

cap'n murica is a weird character. he's arguably one of the most boring heroes of marvel, obviously outdated by today's values, on the other hand, they put so much love into his films, what could have been a terrible corny movie becomes a thrilling ride, and mr. rogers becomes a likable dude. on a side note, sun shines, grass grows and ScarJo is hot.

Interesting twist on a franchise that has a ton of potential to be lame or boring. A movie with ruthless pacing, the action never stops and the plot never stalls. Plus, what Marvel is doing with their extended movie universe and all the tie-ins is rather cool. Superhero movies tend to make me go meh, but I liked this one.

Easily the best of the Marvel movies. I honestly really loved this. Of the whole Marvel Cinematic Universe, this is the one that comes the closest to transcending its own genre and getting taken seriously as its own film. Just remarkably well-put-together on almost every level, and the depth and distinctly darker tone than previous entries is much appreciated.

By far better than the first film in the series. This stands up there with the Iron Man franchise, putting Captain America where he rightly deserves to be in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and breathing new life into a series of films that were beginning to grow stale. I actually really liked the Falcon character, and glad they introduced him in the film, though lament the lack of Hawkeye, who rightly deserved to be in the fray.

The directors expertly place the Captain in the middle of a intelligence/political thriller and watch him wreak glorious super-powered violence. Comparable to the Dark Knight for its wit, brutality and genre competence. Chris Evans is perhaps still miscast - his "little boy lost in time" looks rob him of any real moral authority, and Scarlett Johansson and Cobie Smulders are badly miscast - clogging up the screen. The outstanding direction not only exceeds the writing, but makes up for it.

I haven't been following much of the Avengers series and spin-offs. Never been a fan of the comics either. But I did catch Captain America: The First Avenger (2011) and enjoyed it. Enjoyed this one too. A solid action movies with several tie-ins from the previous one. It's the soap aspect that works best for these movies for the effects are all variations of the same in these type blockbusters. I don't know exactly what made me like it so much. It was just well-paced and pleasant to watch.

Now there's a pleasant surprise. Captain America himself is still pretty dull, but he sure knows how to kick ass in this equally entertaining and intelligent spy thriller disguised as a superhero movie. Marvel's best?

I'm not a huge Captain America fan but this was good. Probably the strongest story out of all the Avenger's films. It's hard to create stakes in these movies since you know it's a huge franchise and there is no chance they aren't going to save the day (especially in these individual films) but this did about as good of a job as possible.

2014 was a breakthrough year for Marvel in terms of storytelling, with this and X-Men DoFP being the most well developed films yet from the studio. TWS from start to finish presses on with a sense of purpose rooted in its clever political espionage plot that branches nicely into levels of tastefully executed superhero ridiculousness. If Marvel can maintain this balance of comic excitement and sophisticated execution I might actually be on board for the "Golden Age" of superhero movies.

First of all, I can't understand how people love this movie. I mean, yes it has great action scenes, it's targetting all Captain America fans and sci-fi freaks like me etc. I don't want to write spoilers, but all scenes were predictable, it's full of clichés, actings are terrible and everthing was exaggerated. If you're not planning to see Avengers 2, there's no reason to watch this movie.

An improvement from the first one, Cap was good but now he's got company that are interesting as well. Black Widow is exciting along with Jackson and Redford, Winter Soldier certainly feels like a threatening character were as Red Skull was just comical. The action sequences are improved by a lot although all the new modern machinery can get unexciting in the end. Resparkled my belief in the upcoming Marvel movies.

I liked that they essentially tried to turn Captain America into Jason Bourne, even as they keep his essential goodness intact. Thing I'm grateful for: The filmmakers mine the fish-out-of-water proceedings for pathos rather than cheap laughs. Cameo by last installment's villain is great (as someone who occasionally works with big data, I'm tickled by the fact that the main villain is for all intents and purposes big data). Cap continues to provide the best material in the Marvel franchise so far

I really rather enjoyed this film. I was skeptical of the first because Cap has never been my favourite character, but it was a good romp and this more than lived up to it. The intro of Falcon didn't feel contrived and it felt like a rounded story. I spoilt the plot-twist for myself by looking too into the comics, but nonetheless I was entertained. I like how the plot melds with the S.H.I.E.L.D. tv series too, and I look forward to the next Avengers on the back of this.
