Welcome back! Now that I’ve had plenty of time to rest, it’s
time for my first official review for a 2014 movie.
When Captain America: The First Avenger was released, it was
such a breath of fresh air. Fitted with a retro World War II vibe, and directed

traditional superhero flick. Up until this point, it remained my favorite entry
in the Marvel Cinematic Universe after The Avengers, and in what has so far
been a great second phase for Marvel’s constructed world, Captain America: The
Winter Soldier has undoubtedly been the highlight. For what was already a
wonderfully old-school adventure, The Winter Soldier is a spectacular update
that stands as one of Marvel’s best since outings
