<![CDATA[Captain America Winter Soldier Review]]>Captain America The Winter Soldier

Disney

PG 13 136 min

Where to begin... You probably all know that I rarely read Marvel Comics when I was young. Captain America was born as a pseudo Superman and came to popularity in the heat of American patriotism in 1941. Through the magic of comic book science the super soldier has been resurrected in modern days to keep the world safe from bad guys who, like their Nazi predecessors, wish to enslave the world.

These particular bad guys are part of an evil organization called HYDRA that follow in the footsteps of other evil organizations you might recall; THRUSH, SPECTRE, and KAOS. Captain America Nick Fury and some other super guys have their own gang known as SHIELD, kind of a Justice League of America rip off whose mission it is to, well, stop the bad guys.

In this film the stalwart members of SHIELD are shocked to find that their organization has been infiltrated and their leader Nick Fury assassinated! Fury's last words to Captain America are don't trust anybody!

So the next two hours or so Captain America, Black Widow and The Falcon trying to figure out who the rat may be and prevent the evil masterminds from, wait for it, blowing up a big portion of the world. unfortunately the 99 of the audience that isn't brain dead already knows who the traitor is so there's not even that little bit of suspense going on.

One thing that is happening, just to spice things up, is a super villain they call the Winter Soldier. He, of course wears black and has a little face mask not unlike Bane from the Batman flick. . Then lo and behold he turns out to be... Well you'll see. There are an awful lot of fight scenes and plenty of explosions and space ship battles but not really much else. Maybe if the bad guys were more evil as opposed to just generic megalomaniacs and if the Captain and his pals had a more personal interest in this battle it may have been more fun.

But… they weren’t, they didn’t and it wasn’t.

Aren't those actually Judd Apatow films?

Rogen's worse sin is how he completely butchered the Green Hornet....and everything I see or hear from him since is prejudiced by that.

yeah that was bad...so was guilt trip. Forgot to mention Funny People, which is one of the best. Some of those are Apatow, but Goldberg was involved also on most of em.]]>https://brownsboard.com/post/398924https://brownsboard.com/post/398924Tue, 15 Apr 2014 16:50:29 GMT<![CDATA[Reply to Captain America Winter Soldier Review on Tue, 15 Apr 2014 16:43:17 GMT]]>Lol^ doubt that makes the tv version

Amen, exactly why I stopped watching them. I practically fell asleep watching Avengers and wanted to shoot myself after the first episode of Agents of SHIELD. But Hollywood is gonna milk those udders dry.

The Avengers was bad. The two Captain America movies were much better.

The two Thor movies were OK.

I have not seen the latest Spiderman movie...but I know there is another one coming out.

Man of Steel was good for the 1st 2/3rds 3/4ths....then it turned into a CG special effects mess.

One other bad thing about it was that they apparently couldn't...or wouldn't use the good John William these song.

I know the lame identity of the winter soldier in the comic book. I have no.further interest in comic book movies. They've gotten so bad and generic. Blah blah blah, I don't care, blue energy flying around, Robert Downey Jr cameo and queue up the next one.

Amen, exactly why I stopped watching them. I practically fell asleep watching Avengers and wanted to shoot myself after the first episode of Agents of SHIELD. But Hollywood is gonna milk those udders dry.

I have yet to see one thing which Rogen has been in that has been funny. Now, maybe as a producer of shows acted by others he has done well.....but nothing he has appeared in has ever made me hardly even chuckle one little bit.

Haha its not. Theyre just producing and writing, and they promise to do it right. Theyre big fans of the series, so theyre putting tons of pressure on themselves to get it right. And Gipper the Goldberg/Rogen combo has owned the last 10 years in the comedy genre imo

my friend turned me on to sandman years ago and although i really didn't understand it (kinda like reading weave world by clive barker) it was very compelling. heard they are going to try and do something with that in the near future.

It's kind of a sci fi comedy western love story with Irish.vampires

Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg are making a show on the comic series "Preacher" to air on AMC. Pretty excited about that.

Nothing Seth Rogen ever does would ever get me excited. Quite the opposite.

all i know is marvel better step up their game. the last spiderman was doo doo and this new one coming out looks worse. the last wolverine was decent but all the xmen movies have totally blown.

all comic book movies are getting tiresome. i like man of steel, but really how many remakes of an original are these guys going to do?

i'd rather see an animated adult version of a graphic novel where people get obliterated as they should by these super beings. enough of this family/children safe versions. i mean the marionettes in team america blasted more caps in people asses than these guys who if they take their sunglasses off would turn you into a bucket of glop.

and if you're gonna do another xmen movie can we see some more of the baddest ass character they had: colossus?

btw stan lee. just cuz you founded marvel doesn't mean you have to appear in a cameo in every friggin movie.

Every book, movie, TV Show etc. etc. is somehow derived from one of those sources IMO.

By your logic you'd be derivative of anyone who's ever played a guitar. I don't buy your logic. That's all.

Probably true. I started my first band in the 8th grade. We brushed our hair down had two guitars a bass player and drummer. I'd say we were derivative of the Beatles. You would call me an idiot if I said we weren't.
