Captain America : The Winter Soldier [Movie-2014]


SPOLIER ALERT!


Captain America : The Winter Soldier is bold, thrilling and keeps you engaged throughout. Marvel Studios deliver us yet another Marvel Universe masterpiece as we see Steve Rogers/Captain America [Chris Evans] coping up to this new world of mobile phones and the Internet, and fighting a battle to save the world, yet again.

We have the sexy Scarlett Johansson, and the 'badass motherfucker', Samuel L Jackson reprising their roles as Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow and Director Nick Fury. Amazing cameos from Sebastian Stan as Bucky, Anthony Mackie as Falcon and Cobie Smulders as Agent Hill.

We have brilliant fighting sequences, hand to hand, as well as gun-fighting, and chases in the movie, which naturally needs to be there. Duh, it’s a superhero movie. What is quite interesting, is the occurrence of such plot twisters, which keeps the audience engaged, be it the assassination of Nick Fury, S.H.I.E.L.D being compromised, Hydra's existence getting known, the arrival of Falcon, and the apparent 'still alive moment' for Bucky Barnes and Director Fury.

We see Captain America, Black Widow and Falcon, with help from Hill and Fury, fighting the fight to avoid Hydra killing 20 Million people to establish rule on the earth.
We also witness Captain America taking on the Winter Soldier, who is revealed to be the assumed deceased best friend of the cap, who was mind wiped and coerced and given supernatural powers into becoming the personal assassin of Hydra. As expected, the 'Hero' emerges victorious, and the planet is saved (sic).

In all, brilliant movie. Great use of VFX and CGI. A perfect Superhero movie.

The mid and post credit scene gave new insights into the next Marvel movies' i.e. Avengers : Age of Ultron and Captain America 3. Really amazed by the first look of Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch - much better than those of 'Fox Studios' who shall feature in the upcoming X-Men movie. Will Steve Rogers die and Bucky Barnes take up the identity of Captain America in the third part as  is written in the comics?

A must watch movie. My Rating - 8.5/10
