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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review
David Sims The Atlantic 09/22/2016
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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

“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]. Go to Full Review

Boots McGee 09/24/2024 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. See more Igor S @Igor_Sena 11h One of the best Marvel movies. That begginning scene alone was so good. Reminded me of Metal Gear Solid. The action and plot were amazing. I also much prefer this suit, instead of the one with the ridiculous helmet that looks like a chamber pot. See more Christian R @RT90248046 12h 8.5/10 Definitely another turning point for the MCU, Winter Soldier is notable for having a much more serious story and having probably more suspense-ridden action. With that said, some things hold it back in my opinion from being the best. For example, some lore and storytelling isn't expanded upon (when did they develop that level of mind control/mind wiping tech and where has it been since then?) and the really janky opening with janky dialogue. See more Dylan F @Fratto_Inc 21h Just incredible. One of my favorite movies in the entire MCU See more Max M @Househuntermax 2d The best Marvel movie. Part superhero movie, part political thriller. One of the Marvel movies that you can watch as a standalone without worrying too much about the greater universe continuity. Extremely re-watchable as well. Highly recommend! See more Eltrix U @Eltrix_Urem 3d La película está muy bien lograda, logra ser misteriosa y emocionante. Al inicio ni siquiera la estaba viendo bien, pero me atraparon las secuencias de acción.
