I will never forgive film class for making me feel like it was work to watch this film. I plan to watch it again after some time, so take the rating with a grain of salt.
But as it stands, any movie that makes rolling a bottle down a hill mesmerizing gets at least four stars.
I think where this movie succeeds is it managed to make an air tight plot, great character work and awesome stakes, while stuffing in just about every badass moment know to man:
- on ur left
- boat fight
- fury car chase
- winter soldier rooftop chase
- elevator fight
- cap v plane
- zola reveal
- knife fight
- bucky reveal
- falcon reveal
- You. Are. my. mission.
Must I say more?
Remains one of the best MCU films to date.
The inspiring story of a man given the power to change the world and he leaves it all on the line.
I love everything about this movie, growing up it’s been my benchmark for a great film
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
A movie held back by what set it apart in the first place. This movie is a frantic escape with all the flash to make it a classic, but like Frank soon learns, escape is short-lived.
We the audience are no different from Frank watching James Bond in that cinema. We might want to be in this movie, or try to be there, but in the end we are not. F*ck the IRS.
