Captain America: The Winter Soldier

 

After the cataclysmic events in New York with The Avengers, Marvel's Captain America: The Winter Soldier finds Steve Rogers, aka Captain America, living quietly in Washington, D.C. and trying to adjust to the modern world. But when a S.H.I.E.L.D. colleague comes under attack, Steve becomes embroiled in a web of intrigue that threatens to put the world at risk. Joining forces with Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow, Captain America struggles to expose the ever-widening conspiracy while fighting off assailants sent to silence him at every turn. When the full scope of the villainous plot is revealed, Captain America and the Black Widow enlist the help of a new ally, the Falcon. However, they soon find themselves up against an unexpected and formidable enemy - the Winter Soldier.

Wow!  This movie was awesome across the board.  It's easily on par with the original Iron Man as the best Marvel movie after The Avengers.  I thought this movie was so much better than the first one.  I know that they wanted to stay true to the WW II era that the first one took place in but it held back from the amazing action that we've grown used to in the super hero movies.  This one didn't hold back at all.  The fighting was intense througout the movie and there were a couple of car chase sequences that felt Fast & Furious like.  Getting past the great action - the story was very spot on with today's government and kept you so glued to the screen that you barely feel that the movie is a little more than two hours long.  Captain America and Black Widow played very well off each other and The Falcon was an excellent addition to the mix.  However, the Winter Soldier stole every scene that he was in and the guy was so completely badass. 

I would absolutely recommend everyone checking this out.  It's got a great story and action galore.  How did this movie open in April.  This is a textbook summer blockbuster type of movie.
