Review of Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014) by Anthony M — 27 Jan 2017

Taking over the director's chair for the Captain America franchise is the Russo Brothers (Anthony Russo & Joe Russo), they did not disappoint, it was a step up from Captain America: The First Avenger, and I was a fan of the first movie.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier is a smart and an engaging film. A more realistic take, reducing the work of CGI to a degree in favor of some retro action. The story was suspenseful and I've gotta say, good character development as well.

Chris Evans does a great job at playing the role of a good friend trying to save a good friend. Also I was very impressed with Sebastian Stan's Bucky Barnes/Winter Solider, along with everyone else, they did a solid job.

If this is the direction, the series is headed, I'm all for it.
