Captain America: The Winter Soldier

This past weekend I saw the film Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and it was amazing! The film is about Steve Rogers/Captain America, played again by Chris Evans, in modern times. Rogers is just starting to get use to modern day when a new threat comes up known as the Winter Soldier.

Rogers is helped by the Black Widow, played by Scarlett Johansson who has been in films like Her and The Avengers, Nick Fury, played by Samuel L. Jackson who has been in films like Django Unchained and Snakes on a Plane, and by Sam Wilson, played by Anthony Mackie who has been in films like The Hurt Locker and Eagle Eye. The cast also includes Robert Redford who has been in films like All is Lost and Spy Game, and Cobie Smulders who was in the TV series How I Met Your Mother.

The acting was great by the entire cast, and the action was awesome. The first Captain America is a fun film, but this one is just great. This is definitely better than the first, and the main reason is the action sequences. The directors did such an amazing job with the action sequences that you felt they were real. It made you feel more like you were in the film. They did a lot of practical effects, which means they actually filmed the action, and not so much special effects. Yes there are special effects, and they look great, but they did a lot of the sequences for real and it made the film that much better.

In the end, even if you weren't a fan of the first Captain America you need to see this one. My rating is that you need to see this as soon as humanly possible. It is a great film, and you won't regret seeing it.
