NOTE: Read the Captain America: The Winter Soldier comic book run before you watch the movie, and before you read the book familiarize yourself a little with Captain America's history, I don't know if you'll understand the book or not if it's the first Captain America book you read, but I DO know that the book is excellent on the premise that you do understand it. Also watch the Captain America The First Avenger movie before you watch The Winter Solder.
Anyway, I haven't enjoyed any superhero movie more than I enjoyed the Winter Soldier. It had more than just amazing action sequences and Captain America kicking ass (which, don't get me wrong, were both very prevalent elements in the movie); it had emotion. For those who aren't familiar with the Winter Soldier comic book run, it's a series that tells an innovative, heart-felt story that re-writes elements of Captain America's history in a captivating tale that did excellently in comic-book form and possibly even better on film.
This movie is fantastic in action and in story, and I would not only recommend watching this movie, but I would, on the assumption that you read the bolded note at the top of this blog post, recommend buying and reading the Captain America: The Winter Soldier comic book run that the film is based on. The book is definitely worth reading, and the movie is possibly even more amazing.
I give this film a 10/10!
