Captain America: The Winter Soldier 3D
Two years after we last saw Captain America in The Avengers, Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) teams up with Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) to uncover a globe-spanning conspiracy within SHIELD and battle the mysterious Winter Soldier. Screen legend Robert Redford joins the cast as Nick Fury's (Samuel L. Jackson) boss, Alexander Pierce.
Aboard a SHIELD ship taken by Algerian pirates, Rogers learns that Natasha Romanoff, aka Black Widow, has her own set of orders from Fury that differ from his. After confronting Fury, he's introduced to a secretive project, Operation: Insight, which will allow the organisation to pre-emptively police the planet - the master project of SHIELD head honcho Pierce. When Fury is attacked and shot by superhuman assassin the Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan), Rodgers and Romanoff become unsure of who to trust...

Delivers a heavy and welcome dose of paranoia, administered between fleetly paced smackdowns.

This sequel gives the flagging comic-book movie an adrenaline shot of relevance. You've got to hand it to them.

Some impressive early fight choreography is wasted on poorly composed action sequences, and there's no thrill to the story's unfolding despite capable digital imagery.

[Revives] the pleasures of hard-driving old-school action, surprising character development and intriguing suspense.

Empire Magazine
Benefits from an old-school-thriller tone that, for its first half at least, distinguishes it from its more obviously superheroic Marvel cousins.
