Captain America: The Winter Soldier

                In April of 2014 the sequel to Captain America: The First Avenger came out. This movie was called Captain America: The Winter Soldier. This movie was produced by Kevin Feige and had a $170 million dollar budget. This movie was produced by Marvel Studios and was the ninth movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

                The story of this movie takes place a few years after the Avengers took place. Steve Rogers, aka Captain America, is working for the agency known as S.H.I.E.L.D. Nick Fury, Shield’s director, starts to get suspicious of Shield after he is unable to find out information about Project Insight. Project Insight was the plan to launch three airships that would be able to eliminate terrorists. Nick Fury gets attacked by a group of assailants but is able to escape to Roger’s apartment. Fury tells Rogers that Shield is compromised but then gets killed by an assassin called the Winter Soldier. Shield starts to hunt down Rogers but he finds Black Widow and they go to a secret Shield bunker. There they find out that Shield was full of spies from a group named Hydra. They also find out that Shield is planning to kill millions of people who they think might someday be a threat to them. Captain America and Black Widow get Falcon to join them as they work together to take out the three airships that Hydra was launching.

                I enjoyed this movie as much if not more than I did the first one. One thing that I liked about this movie more than the first one was that this movie took place in the modern era. The first movie took place during WWII which was cool but I like the modern theme of the sequel better. Another thing that I liked about this movie was all the references to other Marvel movies. There were many mentions of the other Avengers and of what happened in the Avengers movie. They also brought in other Marvel characters to be a part of the movie. Captain America found Black Widow and she helped him throughout the entire movie. Another character that helps Captain America is Falcon who is a superhero from the Marvel Comic Books.

                One thing that I didn’t really like about this movie was that the story was kind of hard to understand. The first time I watched the movie I had a hard time following the story. I got really confused at the beginning when Nick Fury got attacked. I didn’t even understand where he was going and then next thing I know he is being attacked by a group of police. This really confused me the first time I watched the movie.
