Movie review: Captain America: The Winter Soldier

THIS REVIEW HAS SOME MINOR SPOILERS.

Hello readers,

It has been a month since I last went to a cinema and today I managed to catch Captain America: The Winter Soldier. The last Marvel franchise installment I watched was Thor 2: The Dark World and this year, there are two films from Marvel including this latest Captain America sequel and the upcoming Guardians of The Galaxy which is coming out in Summer 2014.

Okay back to a review for Captain America: The Winter Soldier! As we know Steve Rogers/Captain America is still adjusting to the 21st century, there is so much things for him to learned and adapted. This can be seen from his pocket notebook which included trying out Thai food and watched Star Wars. Besides adjusting to this 21st century, Rogers has reunited and partnered up with Natasha/Black Widow (who has a change of hairstyle). I loved the partners' chemistry and the way they worked while going against Hydra.

With an additional of Sam/Falcon who has been giving off comedic situation at some point and also Nick Furry, this sequel also introduced a dark and mysterious assassin known as Winter Soldier. I said he is a dark and mysterious due to the fact that he is invincible and unstoppable. Captain America showed guilt over his days in the World War II and if you have watched the 2011 film, I am definitely sure you will get this rough idea of what is going to happened.

Overall of the storyline is clear and impressive. However, some parts of the film have cartoonish CGIs like The Avengers. Also, I am a little puzzled over the opening scene of this sequel because I felt I was watching as though an episode of a television series and again, the formula of the closing scene was equalled to opening scene. Nevertheless, I was entertained by the film and had a blast in the cinema.

Ratings: 7/10

P.S. While watching Captain America: The Winter Soldier, I noticed some of the audience were confused over the story plot. I suggest to you, readers to watched Captain America: The First Avenger first before buying a movie ticket. This sequel expects you to know the main course before proceeding on to another course.

Another suggestion is to please remained seated in the cinema after the film ended as there is a post-credits scene which is a transition to the upcoming next year's Avengers: Age of Ultron.
