Captain America: The Winter Soldier, 2.5 Stars

I thought this version of Captain America was flat. An okay story (if you could follow all the ins and outs), but too many booms and bangs that didn't add a lot.

I think I like what Marvel Comics (and films) are trying to do - make all their movies interconnected. But it seems to me if you miss one or two (and I have), then you might lose some of the thread (which I also appear to have).

Chris Evans is a good Captain America but was also flat. Scarlett Johannson (We Bought a Zoo) is growing on me with each film. Samuel L. Jackson (Iron Man) was his usual gravelly self. And Robert Redford (3 Days of the Condor) was traditionally sardonic.

I might watch again but wouldn't seek it out.
