The first Captain America movie, as good as Chris Evans was, was kind of a letdown. I thought it was decent, but they could have done so much more. The Avengers, while being a great movie, also didn't do that great of a job making Captain America the hero and leader he needs to be. Oh he broke up a fight between Thor and Iron Man. He got out-witted by Tony Stark. He jumped on top of a bus. Whoopdee-doo.
Now, we get Captain America: The Winter Soldier. And boy, does it look amazing.
Here's the official synopsis:
After the cataclysmic events in New York with The Avengers, Marvel’s “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” finds Steve Rogers, aka Captain America, living quietly in Washington, D.C. and trying to adjust to the modern world. But when a S.H.I.E.L.D. colleague comes under attack, Steve becomes embroiled in a web of intrigue that threatens to put the world at risk. Joining forces with the Black Widow, Captain America struggles to expose the ever-widening conspiracy while fighting off professional assassins sent to silence him at every turn. When the full scope of the villainous plot is revealed, Captain America and the Black Widow enlist the help of a new ally, the Falcon. However, they soon find themselves up against an unexpected and formidable enemy—the Winter Soldier.
Captain America: The Winter Soldier opens on April 4, 2014.
