Captain America: The Winter Soldier Review

Posted on by

There was an air of excitement at the Odean, Leicester Square in London as we waited to watch the new Captain America Film, Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

After the excellent trailers for Guardians of The Universe and Maleficent the film started and we all put on our 3D glasses. The film starts well, set after the cataclysmic events in New York with The Avengers, Steve Rogers, aka Captain America, is living quietly in Washington, D.C. and adjusting to a modern world. He is treated like a hero but remains modest and decent, despite being able to jump out of a plane without a parachute.

At the beginning of the film Captain America, along with the Black Widow, rescue some S.H.I.E.L.D colleagues from a hostage situation, but it is the start of something bigger. Captain America is forced to join forces with the Black Widow and new character, The Falcon, as a terrible conspiracy comes to light. Something Nick Fury (a brilliant character and as excellent as ever) has had suspicions about. To top it all off they have a hardcore assassin on their tail: the Winter Soldier. He has had thousands of kills and always finishes his mission. Will the Captain and his team break his winning streak?

This film is my favourite Marvel film. Quite a recommendation considering I love a good Hollywood blockbuster. The action scenes- and in particular a car chase that I don’t want to give anything away about- are just stunning and imaginative. This film really brings something new to the game, and ups the stakes while it’s at it. The script is amazing, the actions scenes are great. In fact, the film just fires on all cylinders.

The characters are equally brilliant and I love the decency and genuineness of Captain America. He is a superhero and a good person to boot.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier is a brilliant movie. I really enjoyed it and want to see it again. Can’t wait for the next installment either. I would give this film a full five stars. Great entertainment.

Directors: Anthony Russo, Joe Russo

FIRE IN BABYLON PREMIERE; Sport and Film Collide.

WALK THE RED, GOLD AND GREEN CARPET WITH THE STARS AT THE
FIRE IN BABYLON PREMIERE

The must attend premiere of the month takes place on Monday 9th May as celebrities from the world of sport and film gather to celebrate the release of the highly acclaimed FIRE IN BABYLON.

Taking place at the Odeon, Leicester Square, the premiere is opening its doors to the public and if you’re a sports or cricket fan this is an event not to be missed!

FIRE IN BABYLON charts the glorious supremacy of the West Indies cricket team throughout the late ‘70s and ‘80s and proves the bat and ball were more effective than gunfire in the battle against racial injustice and struggle for black rights.

In a turbulent era of apartheid in South Africa; race-riots in England and civil unrest in the Caribbean, the West Indian cricketers struck a wonderfully defiant blow at the forces of white prejudice world-wide.

With Caribbean flair, fearless spirit and a thumping reggae beat, they hijacked the genteel game of the privileged elite and replayed it on their own terms.

If you’d like to be in the presence of legends such as Sir Viv Richards and Michael Holding amongst a host of others then book your seat today and don’t miss this amazing and inspirational film.

Ticket prices range from £100 for the Royal Circle, £50 for the Rear Circle and £25 for Stalls. Simply log on to www.odeon.co.uk and go to London Leicester Sq/ Fire in Babylon.
