Captain America: The Winter Soldier Movie Review

Title: Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

Starring: Chris Evens {Captain America/Steve Rodgers}, Scarlett Johansson {Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow}, Sebastian Stan {Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier}, Anthony Mackie {Sam Wilson/Falcon}, Samuel L. Jackson {Nick Fury}, and Robert Redford {Alexander Pierce}.

Release Date: To Theaters: April 4th, 2014.

Genre: Sequel, Action/Adventure, Drama, Science Fiction.

Plot: Steve Rodgers is still adjusting to the new modern world he awoke to after a fifty-year sleep. With almost nothing in common with anyone, he finds making friends difficult and going out on a date even more so. Natasha isn't detoured by his protests, however, and multi-tasks during one of their missions together by coming up with possible date candidates for Steve to choose from. More amused by this than anything, Steve lets her run with it. Besides, he's too busy calling out Nick Fury on his trust issues.

When a beaten up Nick arrives unexpectedly in his apartment after discovering a potential threat then being attacked, Steve quickly realizes there is more to worry about than trust issues and dates. Teaming up with Natasha and new friend Sam, Steve launches his own investigation and learns more than he bargained for.

Likes/Dislikes: Captain America is definitely a down-to-earth honest character with some very good points on security and our country in general. The movie was fast-paced, entertaining and had a cool teaser at the end for more adventures from Marvels. My only objection is that it was too long and the theater we were in was way too loud. I thought the winter soldier's identity was a great twist but also, rather cliche`.  I look forward to the third installment however, and will definitely see this movie again.

Rating: Official: PG-13. My rating: PG-14 and up, mainly for content {violence, lots of fight scenes, some scenes of torture, etc.}.

Date Report Written: May 16th, 2014.
