Marvel's Captain America: The Winter Soldier



What I liked:

  • It was filmed in Cleveland.  There are great shots with our lovely city in the background as well as scenes at Tower City, The Cleveland Museum of Art and Lakeview Cemetery.  You can find all the locations here.
  • It has a great cast: Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Samuel L. Jackson, Robert Redford, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Cobie Smulders, Frank Grilo, Emily Van Camp, Haley Atwell, Toby Jones, Garry Shandling and of course, Stan Lee.
  • Abed!
  • There is a lot more action in this film than the first one.  You still need to watch the first one though, as a lot of story lines are carried over.
  • Stay through the credits for extra scenes.
  • There is a lot of humor sprinkled in.
  • The Black Widow was awesome and needs her own movie.

What I didn't like:
  • I wish these films could stand more on their own.  Instead you really need to have read the comic books or go with someone who has read the comic books to understand some of the things that happen.

Grade: A-
