I Should have Done This A Long Time Ago: Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier

I realized upon jumping into Capt. America 2 that I had forgotten much of Capt. America 1, so I'd recommend a quick refresher before jumping into this one because there are some crossover things involved. ANYWAY, the movie joins us in present day where Capt. is ever-ready, but becoming disgruntled with S.H.I.E.L.D. and their lack of trust and forthrightness (doubt that's a word) in their dealings with THE CAPTAIN. The villian known as "The Winter Soldier" is introduced and he's f*($)&^G awesome because he doesn't talk, or really do much besides kill and kick ass. They do a great job of keeping their cards close to their chest during the movie and the REAL plot is pretty much hidden throughout. It's really an interesting plot that's RATHER far-fetched, but tries to explain most of it and that works for me. The action scenes are excellent and I thought the cast was excellent as well. There really weren't a lot of "That's ridiculous" moments, which is my #1 reason action movies piss me off generally. THis is certainly worth watching, even if it's a rental. It was IMPRESSIVE in theatres though, so if you can find this one at the cheap seats or something I'd recommend it. Bottom Line: 8.6 out of 10. Better than expected and hats off to Chris Evans for going from Jake Wyler to Capt. America. This probably pays much better.
