Captain America: The Winter Soldier

                 I'll probably say this about a lot of movies, but Captain America: The Winter Soldier is a must-see movie. I saw it yesterday for my birthday party... and it was awesome! Just seeing the trailer, and you don't believe me, WELL then! Here's the review... see if you wanna go to this now!
                  
                 The film begins with Steve and Samuel Wilson (Falcon) running laps around D.C., and every time, Steve passes him saying, "To your left." Eventually, the two offically meet each other, and then Steve is called on a mission.
                 The mission: Raid a Navy ship, and Captain America is to save the hostages. He goes in with Natasha, aka Black Widow, and a squad of S.H.I.E.L.D. Black Ops agents. He goes in also to acquire a potential threat to S.H.I.E.L.D., whose name is Batroc (played by Georges St. Pierre).
                 After saving the hostages, and failing to stop Batroc immediately, Cap finds Natasha; on her own assignement of her own. Now, Natasha gets a hard-drive that you will need to remember for the rest of the movie to actually make sense. 
                Now, moving on. 
                Georges St. Pierre (Batroc, remember) actually shows up again, and Cap chases him down outside, and the first boss fight begins. Captain America has mastered the use of his shield, and he's a boss with it. He's blocking, striking, and just showing off with it. 
Batroc the Leaper and Captain America fight
               Cap knocks back Batroc, and he throws a little taunt at the Captain. 
               "I thought Captain America was more than just a shield."
               "We'll find out." So begins an epic fight that, obviously, Captain wins. When arriving back at S.H.I.E.L.D., Steve questions Nick Fury. He asks why Natasha was on her own assignment, and Nick makes up the excuse of saying it's just "compartmentalizing," or where the team has its assignment, but individuals are also given their own missions. 
Project Insight
               Well, Captain isn't so happy about that. Anyway, the movie goes on, and Fury shows Captain S.H.I.E.L.D.'s new project: Project Insight. This is the making and modeling of three new and improved S.H.I.E.L.D. Heli-carriers, and Fury seems suspicious about something. When Fury isn't sure about something, you know that something's up.
Arnim Zola's Captain America 2 self
               So, asking the Secretary of S.H.I.E.L.D. to delay the launch of Project Insight, Fury takes a drive. He's in that awesome black car that's blown up in the trailer. After he gets blown up, he's about to be killed by the Winter Soldier; since Fury is smart, he uses a torch to escape to Steve's apartment. 
               Nick tells Cap that S.H.I.E.L.D. has been compromised. Wait, what? Basically, without telling anymore and skipping ahead a bit, Hydra is still existent. Hydra has compromised S.H.I.E.L.D., and that means that Project Insight is a part of Hydra's plan. They're going to use Project Insight to eliminate any threat to Hydra: The Avengers, and everybody that can be a potential threat and destroy Hydra. 
              Well, the story goes, and Captain America eventually faces off against the Winter Soldier, and defeats him, and the world is saved, with Cap almost dying. Another interesting thing about this, is Arnim Zola. For those hard-core Marvel fans, Zola is now portrayed as a super-computer all the way from 1945. Zola has preserved his brain/conscience or whatever into the super-computer, and he knows pretty much everything from 1945 up to the present day. And it...is...creepy. 
             Sadly, Zola has a short-lived appearance, since Cap busts the screen, probably destroying Zola's preserved super-computer self. Oh well, fans: don't become too depressed. We may see him in the future. Fingers crossed, right? But, Cap saves the day all the same. 


Little Riddle for ya's: Who are the children of Dr. Doom?
P.S. Stay after the credits... you hard-core Marvel fans are gonna love what you see.
