Captain America: The Winter Soldier neatly and entertainingly puts into motion some big changes in the Marvel universe, while still sticking to its own charms – no easy feat, but one fit for a hero.

It knocks down a lot of the infrastructure the previous films had created, and it does so in a way that feels organic and refreshing for the Marvel world at large.

‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier’ delivers the superhero movie goods, but it does so with a grin and a wink, and that seems more and more like the right way to approach these things.

Sometimes a film leaves you with a big, dumb grin on your face. The Marvel blockbuster Captain America: The Winter Soldier… is such an item.

Directors Anthony Russo and Joe Russo go for broke not just in the way they stage some of the biggest and most impressive action sequences to be found in a Marvel film but also in changing the course of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

It’s difficult to top a billion-dollar movie with so much star power – and with the absence of Tony Stark – but it comes pretty darn close.

The Winter Soldier is a damn-near perfect film within its genre, with exciting and well directed action spectacle and some good plot twists. An easy 5.

When Steve has to fight Bucky it is emotional and exciting at the same time.

Plot
It is 1942, America has entered World War II, and sickly but determined Steve Rogers is frustrated at being rejected yet again for military service. Everything changes when Dr. Erskine recruits him for the secret Project Rebirth. Proving his extraordinary courage, wits and conscience, Rogers undergoes the experiment and his weak body is suddenly enhanced into the maximum human potential. When Dr. Erskine is then immediately assassinated by an agent of Nazi Germany’s secret HYDRA research department (headed by Johann Schmidt, a.k.a. the Red Skull), Rogers is left as a unique man who is initially misused as a propaganda mascot; however, when his comrades need him, Rogers goes on a successful adventure that truly makes him Captain America, and his war against Schmidt begins.
