Oh man oh man oh man. Everything about this film was superb (the action especially, which is brutal, thrilling, and hardcore). The film itself is also pretty dirty (In a good way). Not only is Cap 2 an amazing action film, it's also a smart political espionage thriller. Captain America: The Winter Soldier marks the next step in the evolution of the Marvel film. It easily asserts itself as a film that needs to be seen. It's also the rare Marvel film that works as a stand alone movie. Events in this film should heavily affect the world of Avengers 2, so if you even plan on seeing that film, then Captain America: The Winter Soldier is absolutely required viewing. In my own opinion, I consider this to be the best Marvel film so far. I'm giving it 9.8 Stars out of 10.
