Captain America has arguably always been the least interesting of the avengers, being a selfless America loving soldier whose only power is being a bit strong doesn't really cut it when being compared to a norse god or someone who is even stronger.

Now that Captain America is stuck in the present day, he is working for shield so he still feels like he is working for his country. However, Shield hides a dark secret that may compromise the Captain's morals and threaten the world...

From other reviews of this film, I'd have to say Captain America: The Winter Soldier is overrated. It is a decent film but definitely the weakest of the Marvel's phase 2. The identity of the villain is easy to guess as it is the one character we haven't met before while the story becomes very predictable. While the end may surprise people, I'm not sure if it will have any effect on future films as I can't see Marvel going down that road.

****Good
