Winter Soldier. It's been a couple of days since I've seen it, so it's not that fresh in my mind. Head's up, I'll be spoiling the movie throughout much of this.
I'd say it's the best of the mcu I've seen. Action wise it certainty is. It's very well choreographed, which compensates for the lack of gore in these.
Captain America's out-of-touch "situation" provided some interest. This movie was also better for the things it didn't have. No love interest taking up huge chunks of screen time for one.
The first half or so of the movie was pretty great actually. It was intense, it felt like anything could happen, and there was a sense of conspiracy, which I really like.
The second half kind of fell off for me. The biggest thing was that I didn't like the Hydra twist. It felt waaaay too convenient(for the writers) that the malicious practices of a government agency could be blamed on Nazis, so Captain America doesn't really have to think too deeply about it.
Just like the first movie, Hydra felt like a proxy for something the movie didn't want to show directly(I don't care about the comics, and it's not like the movie hasn't changed things from it). In this case, they didn't want to directly portray the government in a bad light. God forbid the audience starts disliking the real life version. I also didn't appreciate the way this connected Winter Soldier to the first Captain America more, since I didn't like that one.
Besides that, there was more "aerial" combat instead of hand to hand combat. And I wasn't crazy about Captain America's side-kick with robot wings or whatever. He felt unnecessary and shoe-horned in.
Bucky was cool in this. Cool theme too. That's all I have to say about him.
