MadCap's Reel Thoughts - "Captain America: The Winter Soldier"

After the horribly offensive mess that was Iron Man 3 and the experiment in utter boredom that was Thor: The Dark World, it was more than time for Marvel to get over the fact that it had produced one of the highest-grossing films of all time and get back to actually producing quality products. Now, I know what some of you might be thinking - "Hey, Madcap! Didn't you already review this film four years ago?" Well, you are technically correct. I did one of my "MadCap At The Movies" segments on it. But there's a fundamental difference between those and my "Reel Thoughts". "MadCap At The Movies" is set up to give my initial thoughts on a film right after I see it in a theater (a rare occurrence when you see how few I've done), while "Reel Thoughts" allows me to look at films with the benefit of time and more thought put into them beyond the initial hype.

So, does The Winter Soldier still hold up after four years? Is it worth the hype?

...well, obviously, yeah.

MadCap At The Movies - "Captain America: The Winter Soldier"

I'll go through and do a  more definitive and complete review of this film later on when I'm able to process the pure, concentrated awesome I have just witnessed on the silver screen.  For now, I have only one thing to instruct you to do, my Madmen.

Go. See. This. Movie.

...why are you still reading this? Turn off your computer, go to the movie theater, get yourself a Cherry Coke, a popcorn bucket, and some Raisinets  (they're optional no, they are not!) and sit your butt down in the seat for one hundred and thirty six minutes of what could possibly be the greatest film that Marvel has put out with just a single hero.

No, I'm not joking.  Go.  Now.

Captain America:  The Winter Soldier is now out in theaters from Marvel Studios.  Seriously, why are you still reading this? Go watch it now!

...no, you guys know what my Twitter is by now.  Go watch the movie!
