it took some time for the dust to settle but i believe it may be. here's why.

all the other great superhero movies, while great, have huge gaping flaws.


superman the movie - campy lex luthor and the WOAT ending.

batman 89 - very shallow, not really a tight plot, not enough emphasis on bruce.

spiderman 2 - tobey maguire

iron man - movie turns to complete shyt in the 3rd act.

dark knight - boring outside of heath ledger.

avengers - boring 1st act, meddling 2nd act, ridiculous plot, evil hawkeye.


these are all HUGE stains on these movies that prevent them from being truly flawless and consistently great from top to bottom.

now tell me this, what's the WORST thing you can say about winter soldier? it drags for 10-15 minutes? it has a wonky subplot revolving around the winter soldier? that the black widow face disguise thingy was ridiculous? in the grand scheme of things these are very minor flaws because for the rest of the running time it is pretty much clicking on every cylinder. this is a very well written, very well directed, engaging, suspenseful, and action packed film that truly puts you in awe of its hero.

overall it's very hard to argue that this isn't the best movie in the genre out of the dc and marvel entries.

Maybe not the best, but it sure is underrated.
