Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Something about this film just clicked. Everything fell into place as it should. Steve Rogers is an enormously sad character to me, a man out of time where all of his loved ones are dead. That is until the Winter Soldier returns and he realizes that death isn’t always the worst option. The Winter Soldier gave us a nice follow up to how he would be adjusting while showing the super soldier having to grapple with the idea that the organization he works for isn’t who he believes them to be. It’s a sobering revelation for the character and one that shakes the foundation of everything we’ve known about the Marvel world to this point. The movie allows for Chris Evans to deliver his most self-assured performance to date and gives characters such as Black Widow and newcomer the Falcon moments to shine. I don’t think there has been a team up that has brought as much effortless chemistry to the table as Evans, Anthony Mackie and Scarlett Johansson so far in the films. Everything from the heart pounding score to the political drama leanings and in your face fight scenes worked cohesively to create the strongest work of Marvel thus far.
