Movie Rating

I really enjoyed this film. It reminds me of 'Now You See Me' but grungier. I'm really hoping everyone returns for the second one because I think it'll be great. O'Shea Jackson Jr. is no doubt the standout in this film and once you watch you'll definitely be able to see why. I didn't really like Gerard Butler's character's storyline. It felt unnecessary and just like a filler. It didn't really have any place in the film and didn't really give him any depth. I also don't know that I like a grungier Gerard Butler. I think what he does well is when he's polished and on point and Nick just doesn't give that off, obviously. So at times, it felt like he was trying too hard. But I also think that's why Nick's team works the way it does so I suppose you win some, you lose some. There are, like Gerard's storyline, some unnecessary scenes that seem to want to make the characters feel more real to you, but I don't find that they do that. I find that they are just dead space on the screen and distract from the actual plot going on.

Overall, I really liked this film. I'm eager for the second one, and it's definitely a good watch.

Kudos

This first sequel to Captain America: The First Avenger is everything a sequel should be. It has bigger and better set pieces, it has a bigger emotional centre, it brings in already established MCU characters and introduces new ones, and is arguably one of the best entries into the MCU to date.

Chris Evans does nothing more than tighten his grip around his most famous role. He joins Robert Downey Jr. in the category of irreplaceable actors for these characters.
Scarlett Johansson is once again great as Black Widow, and newcomer Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson/Falcon provides Cap with a likeable new ally. The three of them as a sort of mini Avengers in this movie are fantastic.
Sebastian Stan plays The Winter Soldier with aplomb, and gives us a truly dangerous antagonist. The dude is fucking terrifying, yet his relationship with Steve Rogers gives us the heart of this movie. It's a tragic story which of course will be further explored in Civil War further down the line.
The cast is rounded off with Samuel L. Jackson returning as Nick Fury, Robert Redford as Alexander Pierce, Emily VanCamp as Agent 13, Frank Grillo as Brock Rumlow, and some smaller roles for Cobie Smulders and Hayley Atwell.
It's a really solid cast all in all, an area that Marvel Studios rarely missteps.

The set pieces are hugely high octane and thrilling. The opening scene on the barge is a highlight, as well as the teams fight with the Winter Soldier midway through. Even Nick Fury gets a banger of an action sequence. Also, this film boasts probably the biggest plot twist gut punch in the whole MCU with the SHIELD/Hydra reveal. It's an extremely well crafted, ballsy narrative that impacts the shape of the MCU going forward.

There's honestly nothing bad to say about this one. It's top tier comic book cinema.
