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.

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.

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.

8/10

It represents a monumental act of toy-breaking, but it works spectacularly well because it removes the safety net above which the first "phase" of Marvel features operated.

5/5

The heroic eye-popping action sequences, hand-to-hand fight scenes, and extraordinary stuntwork are still present, but there is legitimate exposition going on that matters.

“Captain America: The Winter Soldier” is an ideal blockbuster: fast, entertaining, visually striking, well-acted, and with something to say politically. The first film was good, but this is where things get more interesting. [Full review in Spanish].

action packed and just a fun time. very few lulls in the action, but usually those lulls are filled with pretty people in various stages of undress but no smut.

Great action, Chris Evan’s IS Captain America and he is a legend because of this role, action packed with nice intense action and great side characters, my favorite from the Captain America trilogy.

Probably the best translation of an epic comic strip story to film.

a thrilling mix of superhero action, political intrigue, and emotional storytelling. With outstanding fight choreography, high stakes, and one of the MCU's best plot twists, it remains one of Marvel's finest films

One of the best movies of the MCU! The War between the Avengers and Hydra comes to its peak in this masterful film. If I could describe this film in one phrase it would be "Peak-Marvel".

Still my favorite MCU movie to this day. The fight scenes are unmatched. The ‘spy feel’ to the movie??? Amazing. It’s just amazing all around.
