This
movie offered a fresh approach to superhero stories in the fact that it was
more of an adventure/spy movie than a science fiction movie. The plot was good,
though I was lost at some points, but that might have to do with the fact that
I watched it very late at night. It was also nice to see a more laid back and
carefree Black Widow, as apposed to her closed-off portrayals in the Iron Man
and Avenger movies. I liked to watch her character development, and I’m hoping
that we will get to see a Black Widow movie in the future.
Along
with the complicated plot, I also thought that the movie took too long to
introduce the villain. I understand that this film is different than other
superhero movies, but I think it’s important to have strong villains in a
Marvel movie, and this one did not. That’s just my opinion, however. The movie
is also called The Winter Soldier,
but I felt like he barely had twenty minutes of screen time. The character
seemed more like a subplot. That was probably my biggest disappointment. I was
promised The Winter Soldier, I expected to see The Winter Soldier for more than
a few fight scenes. I can only hope that the character will be featured in many
more Marvel films to come, let alone Captain America films. I could see him
becoming another flip-flop character like Loki, where the audience never knows
if he is good or evil. More Sebastian Stan, please!
Although
I had my complaints, I have to like it because it’s a Marvel movie, especially
a Marvel movie connected with the Avengers universe. I’m hoping that this film
is a stepping-stone to more great Marvel movies to come.
IMDb rating: 7/10
