REVIEW OF "CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER"

When an adversary, long thought to be dead, crops back and takes complete control of SHIELD, Captain becomes the mole and finds himself at the receiving end of a manhunt. Captain digs deeper to find out that there is more to SHIELD than meets the eye.

“Captain America: Winter Soldier” is a fully packed explosive, much similar to those that go blazing on screen, that ignites at the start and keeps blasting its way until the end. The movie has all the proper ingredients for a full on entertainer (nefarious villain, evil plot, hero who rises, couple of sidekicks and finally the CG to help things up).

Chris Evans, as the misplaced-in-time superhero, is slowly getting accustomed to the new world (he watches SAW, Rocky) and finds new friends who later lend a helping hand. But the righteousness still prevails inside him that makes him pop out of the crowd like a 3D screen. One of the downfalls is to have not kissed since 1940s.

Scarlett Johansson is the red-haired sidekick who kicks and fires in the meanest way possible in some not very nice places and keeps the action sequences alive.

Samuel Jackson goes easy on the swearing but no so on the bad guys and maintains his macho status that the character deserves. Anthony Mackie does his part and so does Robert Redford (he was almost unrecognizable without the glasses).

Like every other Marvel movie this one is no short for witty one-liners. A sample below:
In the middle of an ambush scene,
Computer voice: Window Integrity failing
Fury                    : Restart the car.
Computer voice: Propulsion system offline.
Fury                    : Switch to flight mode.
Computer voice: Flight sensors damaged.
Fury                    : Then what’s not damaged?
Computer voice: Air Conditioning is fully operational.

A word of Caution: If you are the kind that finds the artistic movies entertaining then please avoid this one. This is for the people who enjoy action movies and seek entertainment by neglecting a few logical flaws.


Captain America: Winter Soldier, will withstand the “summer”.
