Review: Captain America: The Winter Soldier

Captain America: The Winter Soldier is perhaps Marvel StudiosÔÇÖ most intricately crafted film yet. The set-up is straightforward enough: ┬áCap and Black Widow are working for Nick Fury when S.H.I.E.L.D. comes under attack. Unsure of whom, if anyone, to trust, they must uncover a hidden threat before it destroys them all. The film not only serves as a strong follow-up to CapÔÇÖs first outing, Captain … Continue reading Review: Captain America: The Winter Soldier
