Action. Thriller Two years after the disastrous events in The Avengers, Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) lives in Washington D.C., struggling to embrace and adapt to modern society. When a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent is murdered, Steve must team up with Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johansson), a.k.a. Black Widow, to uncover the assailant’s plan while also battling a threat from his past: the Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan) from Soviet Russia.

	Author	Review
United States	Scott Foundas Variety	"Chockfull of the breathless cliffhangers dictated by the genre, but equally rich in the quiet, tender character moments that made the first film unique among recent Marvel fare."	POS
United States	Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"Takes the bold (for Marvel) step of reducing CGI spectacle to a relative minimum in favor of reviving the pleasures of hard-driving old-school action, surprising character development and intriguing suspense."	POS
United Kingdom	Steve Rose The Guardian	"This sequel gives the flagging comic-book movie an adrenaline shot of relevance. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United Kingdom	Robbie Collin Telegraph	"You can't help but feel disappointment that a film with a relatively spicy premise becomes, in the end, so risk-averse. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"	NEU
United States	Michael Phillips Chicago Tribune	"The movie does its duty. It's a reliable commodity, delivered efficiently and well, like pizza. (...) rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"Like many others of its type, [it] gets off to a kinetic start only to lose steam before blowing everything up."	NEU
United Kingdom	Mark Adams Screendaily	"'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' delivers big-time in terms of thrills and entertainment."	POS
United States	Oliver Lyttelton IndieWire	"There is a lot to like here. It looks great, it sounds great (...), is performed strongly across the board, has some heart and soul behind, isn't afraid to be a little weird sometimes."	POS
United States	Claudia Puig USA Today	"Fight scenes are tense, though occasionally it's hard to tell who's doing what to whom. But they have the (...) realism sometimes lacking in comic book movies. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Powered by a dynamite Evans and a first-rate cast, this movie overcomes its plot holes and 3D too-muchness by making human frailty its primary focus. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
