Review of Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014) by Ctzq — 03 Apr 2014

I would like to start by saying that I've always been prejudiced against Marvel movies, because they never seem to be able to veer off shallow entertainment. However, The Winter Soldier definitely surprised me with a relatively strong script with witty dialogue.

It seems 'smarter' than the average Marvel movie. However, a major down-point was that not a single person was able to pull off a strong performance. Scarlett had an interesting character, but her acting was weak, so that really put me off a little.

Well, Robert Redford certainly did not come across as evil to me, even towards the end. It was also quite obvious since the start that he was the villain, but perhaps Marvel meant for us to know that? As for Chris.

..as usual he's just there for people to ogle. Overall, the soundtrack was weak and uninspiring; the biggest disappointment still stems from the big mismatch between a strong script and the actor's weak performances.
