Rating: 9 out of 10, Each Marvel film seems to get bigger and yet they’re still
immensely entertaining. This film was
every bit as much Johansson’s movie as the redoubtable Captain. The action is virtually non-stop as the
Captain and his crew confronts an infiltration of Shield by an old nemesis from
World War 2 days. This film is heavy on
CGI but still amazes. They somehow
superimposed the massive Shield headquarters right across the Potomac from the
Kennedy Center and made it look real. I used
to run through the area daily so it was especially jarring. I liked the message (yes Marvel movies can
have a message) that security shouldn’t be purchased at the cost of
freedom and a few million assassinations. There’s a lot more of Samuel
L. Jackson (without a single M.F. that I can recall) and a coolly evil Robert
Redford. You had to know any
organization that has Garry Shandling as one of its leaders is in trouble but I
digress. A great thrill ride.
MVP: Johannsen as the
Natasha, the Black Widow is the perfect foil for the 1940’s mentality of Cap
