Captain America: The Winter Soldier

Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014)
Directed by Anthony and Joe Russo.

Well this should wrap up my week of getting caught up on reviews...for now...

The first Captain America movie was pretty good. It isn't my favorite from Phase One, but it was a very enjoyable film. Winter Soldier, on the other hand, was great. I loved it, and it is currently my second favorite film of the year so far.

Why? Well it had great visual effects, a lot of fun comedy, and awesome action sequences, but what makes this one of the best Marvel films ever is the characters. The writing, directing, and performances came together beautifully, from the mysterious father figure, the bad-ass best friends, the tragic back-stories, all wonderfully focused around the amazing Chris Evens (who just might actually be Captain America in real life.)

What is your favorite Marvel film of all time?

4 out of 5 stars.
