I have added the following reviews of 2014 releases:
Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Grade: B+
(I was half tempted to change the film’s name to Black Widow: The Winter Soldier, but I decided to keep my pithy opinions private. Well. Almost.)
Grade: B

Hey Josh, glad you finally caught The Winter Soldier. I was hoping you’d give it an A but I guess B+ is not bad 🙂 I’ll give it a read in a bit.
A misstep here or there prevents the A. But B+ is the second highest grade I’d give any movie in the Marcel Franchise. I’d give The Avengers an A-minus. The Winter Soldier is my favorite of the solo movies, I think.
Yay! Glad to see you rate this one as the fave solo Marvel movie, mine too. I think we’ve established that I’m more generous in grading movies, ahah. Btw, your MSPIFF reviews will be up shortly.
Cool. I’ll take a look.
And most people are more generous than me. 🙂
Oh and the only solo outing I might like more than The Winter Soldier, maybe, is the first Captain America. So I’m also with you that his are currently my favorite Marvel movies.
Oh yeah, the first Captain America will always hold a special place for me, I just love love that movie and the retro style. It also has a lot of humor (courtesy of Tommy Lee Jones) and a lot of heart as well. In fact, I probably put both the 1st and 2nd movie as my two favorite Marvel standalone movies, the rest are fun but not as special to me.
I completely agree. 🙂
