This is the second installment of the Captain America series, following the 2011 film, "Captain America: The First Avenger". In my opinion, the Marvel Studios has done it again, and they have a colossal success on their hands with the always amazing Captain America!
Chris Evans is stellar as the shield-wielding Captain America/Steve Rogers as he returns to Washington DC after the World War II Nazi drama.
It has been seventy something years and he is now in his nineties looking no worse for the wear!
He is now with the spy agency known as SHIELD as he finds himself somewhat of a super-legend as he searches to fit in and continue on with his life.
He finds himself right back in the action when he is thrust into a terrorist takeover on a giant ship in the Indian ocean. He encounters a barrage of opponents whom he battles alongside his fellow super-hero the Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) who has all the moves as well. They battle the enemy in every conceivable way till they are victorious and get their hands on a memory instrument containing some very important classified data.
Returning to the USA again, Captain finds out that SHIELD has been building three ginormous heli-carrier ships with the likes of which no one has ever encountered before. Massive flying machines that have the most up to date and sophisticated technology ever know to man with the capability to analyze and destroy just about everything! Under the direction of Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) and new to the series, Alexander Pierce (Robert Redford), Fury finds out the project has been compromised and he knows the only person he can trust is Captain.
Alexander Pierce proves to be a heartless and evil soul who says "in order to improve things you often need to tear down what's come before-no matter what the cost". And he does, or did! The Winter Soldier is played by Sebastian Stan a mindless sort of robotic soul with no real heart of his own. Still in the back of his mind he has retained a miniscule amount of memory.
Also, the character Sam Wilson/The Falcon (Anthony Mackie) was a great addition to the cast. He was refreshing, fun and exciting.
I found this movie to be highly entertaining with the basic good-guys vs the bad-guys. Chris Evans is so good as Captain that you just want to stand-up cheer for him. He is a classic all around American hero! You'll have to be prepared for the non-stop super-hero action, violence and destruction! I suggest that you remain for the entire duration of the credits because there are two surprise scenes that are well worth the wait!
Parents be advised: this is definitely a PG-13 rated movie. I would not recommend it for anyone younger than 13. I think the violence is too intense for the younger ones. The character, The Winter Soldier is also somewhat scary and intimidating,
I am giving "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" four bags of popcorn.
