The wait is finally over for all of you Captain America fans. Captain America – The Winter Soldier is in theaters today! Not to brag but I was lucky and got to see a screening of it last month in Los Angeles. I will be going again this weekend with the family, it was that good!
The synopsis – 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 the Black Widow, Captain America struggles to expose the ever-widening conspiracy while fighting off professional assassins 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.
My Captain America – The Winter Soldier Film Review…..
This new movie, the second movie in the Captain America movie franchise is based on Marvel’s comic book series that was first published in 1941. This new movie has not only an excellent story line, it has amazing cast too!
When I got invited to see a screening of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, I honestly had to re-watch the first Captain America movie two times. I enjoyed comics as a kid and had a small collection, but never owned any of the Captain America comics. I wish I would have though because those comics are worth a good little fortune now.
After watching Captain America: The First Avenger a couple times I was prepared. I was ready to see what action was in store for Steve Rogers. As soon as the movie started the action never stopped, even after the credits started. On the way to the theater I was a little tired and was hoping a soda would give me a little energy boost. I didn’t even drink my soda or eat my popcorn, my eyes were glued to the screen. I honestly think this is probably one of the BEST Marvel movies that I have seen yet. Not only am I awaiting what is in store next, I now am really interested in following the stories through the comics.
