Captain America: The Winter Soldier (Marvel Studios, 2014)
Holy
crow. This might just beat out The
Avengers as the most
satisfying comic book movie adaptation ever made. Normally my eye
twitches with a sharp stabbing pain behind it as I watch these films,
battling to retain control of myself. I almost always want to stand
up and shout at the screen Wrong!
Wrong! How can you idiots greenlight this crap! Does no one on staff
actually read
comic books? So on and
so forth. My only gripes with this movie are the Chevrolet product
placement and one or two edits. Seriously, that's all that I have!
This movie fricking rocks.
I have been using this product. It has helped my writing tremendously. |
Seeing
several scenes from the comics come to life on the screen was
incredible. Scenes such as the Batroc boat hijacking from the Roger
Stern and John Byrne run and countless scenes from the Ed Bruabker
run. Things that once lived only in my imagination brought to life.
Everything
is perfect. On the action scale this is an “amps to 11” affair.
If you have not yet seen this film, then you may want to exit this
review right now, because I am going to be fairly liberal with the
SPOILERS from
here on out. Cap
fights Batroc The Leaper! Arnim Zola lives! Stephen Strange (a/k/a
Doctor Strange) is mentioned! Sharon Carter, Agent 13 is revealed!
Hydra! Fucking Hydra!!!
Cut off one head and two more shall take its place! The Winter
Soldier is done to perfection! The Falcon is awesome! Quicksilver and
the Scarlet Witch are in the first of the two post-credits scenes!
Christ, what more could anybody want
out of one film? Dissing this movie because it has too much action is
like not liking a song because it rocks too much or not linking an
orgasm because it lasts too long. There is something really, really
wrong with you if this movie doesn't rock your socks off.
Junk
Food For Thought rating: 5 out of 5.
So did you like it....?
ReplyDeleteEh...it was okay I guess.
DeleteGood review Kris. Had a fun time with this movie, even if I do realize that the twists and turns got a bit ridiculous after awhile.
