A real turning point in the Marvel Universe as it experiments with new genres, with tremendous action throughout. it’s not perfect, Robert Redford seems ill-at-ease, but eight years on it’s still terrific.

Rated: 4/5

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.

Rated: 8.8/10

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.

Patrick Cavanaugh

The Wolfman Cometh

Trades the bombast and heroism for a subtle spy thriller with countless shades of grey in the divide between hero and villain, which is exactly what this character needed for his sophomore outing.

Rated: 4/5

... a superhero adventure by way of a political conspiracy thriller that teams up Cap (Chris Evans in all-American integrity mode) with Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) when S.H.I.E.L.D. is infiltrated by the evil Hydra.

Nick Rogers

Midwest Film Journal

The increasingly difficult struggle of Steve Rogers upholding his vow to remain a good man while wading through so much villainy achieves great resonance and this tremendously entertaining film, the MCU's best, is as interested in testing mettle as metal.

Rated: 4.5/5

Incredible, writing, directing and acting. The Russo Brothers deliver and Chris Evan’s is Capt! You can sense how much they cared about making a great movie with a great story! Anthony Mackie, Scarlet Johansson, and Sebastian Stan are A plus as well!

I hold this movie as one of my top 5 favorites among all the Marvel movies and streamed shows as of 2024. The Russo's have never made a bad Marvel movie. Only wish they were still making them.
