Film Summary DCXCIV (Captain America: The Winter Soldier)


It took me six years, but I finally got around to seeing this Captain America movie. And well, it's a comic book flick.
Kind of just melts in with the rest.

I guess I technically enjoyed it.
I was never dozing off while watching it. But at no point was I ever that intrigued either.
Except for the old computer area with former Nazi scientist who somehow got his brain transferred into 1000 computer tapes. Honestly I would have preferred an entire movie with that premise. Just a bunch of 40s and 50s computer tech being intermingled with American Espionage and strange Nazi pseudoscience.

I like that Falcon guy. He of just pops out of nowhere with his funky flying suit and I respect that.
We didn't have to get a bunch of back story as to where he got it or he's training. It's implied that he's worked with the thing before and now he's just using it.

I guess one of Captain America's former friends and co-workers was captured by Cobra* and turned into Jax from Mortal Kombat. Except he only has one Metal Arm.

The more I try to think about this movie the more I'm forgetting.
I'm trying to remember just what it is that happened in the story.
Captain America and Pals are running away from Shield because they're controlled by an evil Neo-Nazi gang.
And then at some point they have to stop a bunch of heli-carriers from destroying the Eastern Seaboard.. I think.

Honestly I don't know why this organizations putting so much work into all this. Why not control the masses with mass materialism and distract them with pointless drama and bickering on the internet. You know, like how we do it in the real world.
And if you are going to commit to the mass deaths for control than why not drive a few pickup trucks with a couple of hydrogen bomb from the 1950 into few cities and call it a day.
Giant heli-carriers just look expensive and tedious.

*Was the organization called Contra? I can't remember. No wait a minute, it was Hydra.
