More of a spy movie with Superheroes, Captain America - The Winter Soldier was action packed with a better than average yet predictable plot. Falcon was a Will Smith wannabe (they should have just cast him.) Robert Redford was flat. Chris Evans seemed bored. Yet, it's easily the best of the Marvel Studios Marvel hero movies. I thought most of the movies leading up to the Avengers were duds (Iron Man I and the first Cap American being the exceptions.) The Avengers, while enjoyable, wasn't all that.
Scarlett Johanssons Black Widow was the best part of the movie. Smart, kick ass and sexy. I'd rather see her anchor her own movie than see her in another supporting role.

My 8 year old girl was fine with it.
