Captain America: the Winter Soldier - Review … *No Spoilers* or maybe a little

Captain America: the Winter Soldier 

I saw this movie on Thursday 27^th March 2014 in UCI (an Austrian cinema) - the theatrical day release in Austria.

Being a big fan of comics, especially Marvel, I’m very critical with the movies about the Marvel Universe. However like usually this movies of Marvel studio was a really good surprise!

I loved in particular the references about other things in Marvel Universe (or not) like:

- Star Wars and Star Strek

- the Avengers Tower

- Brock Rumlock alias Crossbones

- Armin Zola

- Stephen Strange alias the Doctor Strange and Bruce Banner alias Hulk are mentioned.

- The necklace in arrow-shaped of Black Window to refer to Hawkeye

- And in the post-credits sequences: Loki, the Baron von Strucker, the x-men

One thing I didn’t really understand at the beginning:

            The first enemy, Patroc, is French but he has a Quebec accent! I’m French so it’s weird for me to believe he is French with this accent, it’s impossible! But I like the “on va voir” of Chris Evans alias Cap.

The cameo of Stan Lee:

            Every time I go to see a marvel movie I’m prepared to play at my favorite game "where is Stan Lee?". And I’m happy I found him! :D

The two post-credits sequences:

            I like the fact there are some post-credits sequences even if the second is really at the end end of the credits. This method to link the marvel movies together with these post-credits sequences is really a wonderful idea!
