I've made it no secret how much I love this film. I've come to the conclusion that it is the best CBM sequel and on it's way to be the best trilogy.
There were so many great moments in this film, all of which are worth the price of admission alone, in my opinion. Here are a few in no particular order:
Falcon In Full Flight
Some people were holding out for the Red & White costume, which in my opinion wouldn't transfer to screen well. What we got instead was a tactical, practical looking suit which looks like it could exist. Seeing Falcon taking on
SHIELD/HYDRA agents as well as Helicarriers was awesome. My favorite bit being when he is trying to lose the missiles and does the tuck and role to both avoid the missiles and create an opening in the Observation Deck.
Widow Learning The Truth
After discovering
S.H.I.E.L.D has been infiltrated by
HYDRA, Black Widow learns that she isn't on the right track and begins to trust Steve. The film gives us a nice contrast from two people at opposite sides of the spectrum of morality. It gives her character some needed depth and growth.
Cap Kicking Ass Aboard The Sealaunch
Not that we didn't get some memorable fight sequences in
CA:TFA or
The Avengers, we never saw Steve's capabilities to their full extent. Those, like myself, who played the Captain America video game were left drooling at the thought of Cap moving that way on the big screen. Opening with Cap virtually single handedly taking down a team of Mercs lead by
Batroc The Leaper on the vessel
Sealaunch was the perfect way to start the film. It had fanboys rejoicing and set the tone for the rest of the film.
Fury's Car Chase
I can't remember the last time I was on the edge of my seat in a car chase. It was very well orchestrated and highlighted Fury's wit. It also gave us a very eerie introduction to
The Winter Soldier. My favorite bits were hearing Fury's car had flight capabilities and that the only thing not damaged was the air conditioning.
The Winter Soldier's Cognitive Recalibration
This scene...was very emotional. Giving us insight to the internal struggle that Bucky was going through as well as the device used to keep him in check. Hearing "
But I knew him.." gave me goosebumps.
Every Scene Cap And Winter Soldier Shared
From their first fight and hearing the infamous
"who the hell is Bucky?" to their final, emotional battle. Their scenes shared were a rollercoaster of feels and fight choreography epicness.
Chris Evans and
Sebastien Stan have great chemistry and I cannot wait for the next chapter in this story on May, 2016.
One Word: Zola
I'm not going to lie, I sprayed nerd juice all over the cinema. This was just awesome. At this point you realised just how much this film has expanded the MCU. From the infiltration of
S.H.I.E.L.D to
Howard and
Maria Stark's assasination. I hope we see more of
Zola in the future, especially because it seems his algorithym is responsible for the creation for
Ultron. Complete and utter fan service.
