Steve Rogers/Captain America is on his way to the future: after this Captain America: The First Avenger 2011 Link https://averagemansreviews2017.blogspot.com/2018/01/captain-america-first-avenger-2011-by.html but Agent Peggy Carter [Hayley Atwell] is stuck in 1946 with all its women being treated and seen as second rate citizens even in the SSR [Strategic Scientific Reserve,] until one night she gets to be what she has been trained to be which is an Agent and in her case is the best agent around. Because this project goes on for just over 15 minutes, I will leave it there. So of course the pacing is good as it has a small story to tell and not long which do tell/show it.

Let's begin with the action and comedy; Agent Carter is trying to gain access to this location, but she has to deal with these two henchmen first; she tries it nicely first, but that doesn't work so she takes down the two henchmen with this briefcase in hand [change of perspective goes from out here to inside this location with this other henchmen with his feet up on the desk chilling out listening to some music with this action taking place in the background;] until she kicks one henchmen through this glass windows.

The art; generally speaking is of a fantastically high level as it relates to everything you can think of. But to put a bit more meat here the first lot of ending credits has this basic recap of what you have just seen with this classy sequence; the art has been done with the approach of one object or person or other being done in a small selection of colours mixed with different shades of that colour system including, because I know it is in this sequence where Agent Carter is holding this white gun in her white being with suitcase and red fingernails, but at least you should get a good idea of what I am trying to say here, including this excellent spy accompanying track and finally there is one extra scene right after this.

The character developments and performances; on both counts they are for the most parts all good; but Hayley Atwell as Agent Peggy Carter, she has to stand shoulder to shoulder with other iconic characters and their performers for an example Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow [Scarlett Johansson.] As taking their role and making it their very own, obviously there is one big problem with these iconic characters and their performers unless the MCU [Marvel Cinematic Universe] has to close off this universe for some reason or they will have to come up with something like this to continue things at some point way, way off in the future but to maybe [this is completely speculation] to bringing younger versions of these characters may be in their 20's consequently you can bring in younger performers that aren't how to put this nicely straddled with unreachable expectations of their predecessors based on we are in a different universe, but do finish off this paragraph here and now Hayley Atwell as Agent Peggy Carter.

This film receives: 8/10, this film is excellent; I mean if you like this short film I would recommend you go and watch the highly, so highly underrated TV program of Marvel's Agent Carter 2015-2016 [2 Seasons; 18 Episodes] it didn't deserve to have the dreaded C word [Cancelled] associated with it; it was a TV show that was well before its time as in funny enough we have some period dramas in 2022 that are extremely popular like The Crown since 2016 or Bridgerton since 2020 or were/are Downton Abbey 2010-2015 [6 Series; 52 Episodes] and two films Downton Abbey The Movie 2019 and Downton Abbey: A New Era 2022 and many other period dramas. I mean I know how TV and film work if people don't watch it or see it they aren't going to invest in making more content. But Marvel's Agent Carter was Marvel's equivalent of a period drama/action that deserved a third and final Season I would have even taken just 6 episodes, just so that they could wrap things up and not given this TV show the cancellation it doesn't deserve. Yes of course this short film has accredited award to its name, fair enough it is just one, but one is one more than none.
