Captain America: The Winter Soldier (Sets April record)

[Dr Mordrid]

Winter Soldier is Cap's WW-2 buddy Bucky, who was found by Russian troops and enhanced in their Super-Soldier program. He is then turned into a brainwashed assassin, who has been active for 70 years.

This is a classic story arc and it's said Marvel will adhere to the comics depiction. If so, and the trailer indicates it is, its going to be a wild flick.

The cast includes some of the Avengers crew, especially Black Widow and Nick Fury, and it introduces Cap's sometimes partner Falcon.

The test screenings have gone so well that Disney has already given the go-ahead for a 3rd Captain America film.

VERY GOOD reviews (earned!), and it turns out a political conspiracy thriller.

Opened here last weekend. Got good reviews even from the "arty farty" reviewers.. I avoid opening weekends these days and go a few weeks later. Went to Noah instead last weekend..
