Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful

A shadow from Steve Rogers/Captain America's past rises
from the cold: because of the way this film has
been designed [mystery or mysteries.] I don't know what to say here other than
it fits into the model of espionage which in turn would explain the pacing of
136 minutes sequel it is good, but if you are expecting a full throttle film
this isn't it, it does have a change of gear to it at its disposal when it
needs to change up or down, but as I have already made reference to it is more
about espionage, consequently it is about finding clues or information or other
things.
The action and comedy; we have
moments where these naturally combined for two examples; Steve Rogers a.k.a.
Captain America [Chris Evans] has gone for a run and obviously because he is a
super soldier he is much, much faster than another soldier which has also gone
for a run at this time Sam Wilson a.k.a. Falcon [Anthony Mackie] where we will
see/hear Steve repeatedly saying " On your left" [because Steve
continuously lap Sam around this Washington landmark Lincoln Memorial
Reflecting Pool next to another landmark Washington Monument] which Sam does
get a little bit frustrated by this he says " Don't say it" or things
of this nature. Next Steve Rogers/Captain America in this elevator things begin
to dawn on him that he is in a hostile situation, so be for they begin this
highly entertaining action sequence, he gives anyone the option to get out
before they begin.
Yes of course all the other action
sequences are hard-hitting and free-flowing; Captain America vs. The Winter
Soldier/I know he has another identity, but as this is a mystery I will
deliberately miss it out here [Sebastian Stan] or The Winter Soldier vs.
Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow [Scarlett Johansson;] this action sequence has also
been given a hard-hitting nature I know it is small but still holds fantastic
value, as at this point everyone should know by now she can handle herself, but
win lose or draw it reinforces that any stage be it past, present or future she
will always be a massive asset and on top of that we learn more about her in
this film as well.
Character developments and
performances; as I have just made reference to the character developments have
been well progressed as you come to expect from the MCU [Marvel Cinematic
Universe] and generally speaking the performances and voice performance are all
good, but for our newcomer Sam Wilson/Felton [Anthony Mackie;] he slots in
perfectly and quickly get up to speed with our recurring characters/performers.
Now just in case I get called out on this; I think what they were trying to do
with this character is publicly he makes reference to being happy in civilian
life, but privately he is still up for the fight, probably just waiting for the
right course to find him.
The art; there is a pleasing to the eyes ending credits sequence accompanying the ending credits in the first section; It accompanies this film very well as it has been also done in the style of espionage, we have a limited amount of colours being used like black, white and red and on top of that he was a friendly heads up there is one extra scene at the end of both ending credits so altogether there is two ending credits.
This film receives: 8/10, this film is excellent; this film moves things on
and offers a lot of hard-hitting action in one way or another, yes of course
this film has awards accredited to it. 5 Winners including IGN Summer Movie
Awards 2014; IGN Award Best Comic Book Adaptation Movie. 52 Nominees including
Academy Awards, USA 2015; Oscar Best Achievement in Visual Effects Dan DeLeeuw
Russell Earl Bryan Grill Daniel Sudick.
