CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER
STORY
2 years after The Avengers, Steve Rogers has become an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. and he leads of team of black ops soldiers called S.T.R.Y.K.E. which includes the Black Widow. Steve is doing well adjusting to modern life, but does't understand the change of mindset that the government has had. He eventually comes to trust no one at S.H.I.E.L.D. after a dastardly plot comes to light, and is called a fugitive for a crime he hasn't committed, and he gains a sidekick named Falcon. The moral of the story is, that when you cut off one head, two more shall take it's place.
CONTENT
There is language, but it's infrequent. Violence is shown A lot through this film, and it's pervasive and frenetic. I would go as far to say it's more violent than 2008's The Dark Knight, with more gunfights, deaths, and action sequences, minus the psychotic Joker.
Black Widow, a character introduced in Iron Man 2, is one of my least favorite avengers, and she has a very prominent role in the story, which she's mainly there to be "SEXY" at certain points.
CLOSING THOUGHTS
It's a different type of film than The First Avenger, with it's more plot focused on action than story. While this is the definitive best film of phase 2, I don't think that Black Widow: The Winter Soldier has the magic of the first few films in the series(sarcasm). So, should we be looking forward to the Avengers: Age of Ultron next year? I guess, but I'm becoming somewhat weary of the Marvel release schedule, as I felt this film borrowed ideas from other film's, and while cool was kind of uninspired, but still a fun watch. What makes this film stand out is The Human Torch...umm...Captain America, and his heroic age values.
