Captain America: The Winter Soldier

Being (relatively) cheap Tuesday at Empire Cinemas on th' BasVegas Strip, I took advantage and went to see the latest in the Marvel Avengers franchise. Now an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., Steve Rogers, a.k.a. Captain America, is confronted with a conspiracy when Nick Fury is attacked.


There's lots of bangs and crashes and a reasonably decent plot, but is a Superhero movie at heart despite higher ambitions. All the team turn up, so it ends up being an Avengers movie without the Avengers, but the acting is ok, if a little pedestrian (it seems a long time ago since Robert Redford was in All The President's Men) and there's a fair number of cameo's, but it's Samuel Jackson, as Nick Fury, and Chris Evans, as th' Cap', that drive the movie.
