The latest installment in the Marvel Universe of superhero fantasies premiered a few weeks ago guaranteed to gather audiences eager to continue the adventures of the blockbuster series “Ironman”, “Thor” and “Hulk” and the megahit “Avengers” . Under the Disney Company’s direction, Marvel has produced polished and highly entertaining movies time after time. “The Winter Soldier” was no exception.
The film includes familiar characters Nick Fury (the enigmatic, always a step ahead, ruthless head of super spy agency S.H.I.E.L.D) played by Samuel L. Jackson, Steve Rogers, a.k.a Captain America (a morally incorruptible super soldier created by the science of the 1940s), Black Widow and Hawkeye. In a surprising casting, and after a long period we had …show more content…

While driving to headquarters, Fury is attacked by a shadowy group and a super villain who we will later find out is the “Winter Soldier” that gives this film its subtitle. After a shootout, an escape and a warning to Captain America, Fury is eventually killed by the “Winter Soldier”. Secretary Pierce declares all of those who do not comply with his orders as rogue and commands their arrest, so Captain America, Black Widow and Hawkeye along with newly found ally Falcon must go underground to find out the truth. From a flash drive recovered in an earlier mission, Captain America and his friends find out from a massive (and massively old) computer hidden in an abandoned S.H.I.E.L.D. facility that secret evil organization HYDRA has for years infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D. at the highest levels possible. While getting all this information, a missile is sent by S.H.I.E.L.D to destroy the facility and all within it, but the group narrowly escapes. As the movie progresses, we find out that the project Fury and Pierce were fighting over will soon start as well as its code name, Insight. In another surprise, S.H.I.E.L.D. has in secret built three more helicarriers such as the one Fury used in “Avengers” but are now even more powerful as they are powered by Tony Stark’s (Ironman) repulsor technology. The helicarrier’s mission involves forever being airborne, armed with lasers that will kill anybody a computer program, fed by all the digital activity of everybody in the world, determines to be a threat. HYDRA’s plan is to take control of this asset and use it for its own nefarious

    Out of a scale of 5(as being the best), I would give it a 4 and a half. The movie had a real good plot.

    ... who starred in and produced Spartacus. Did Douglas overstate his comments about the blacklist? Did he want more credit, more than he already had? Why did he claim to have to have been responsible for the breaking of the blacklist? Or did he distort the facts to inflate his ego? Dalton indeed refuses to answer questions about his political associations with other listed in the Hollywood Ten. The fact is that regardless of what all these people tried to say about this subject, the film Spartacus proved to be a film that puts a mark on the film industry by emphasizing on the importance of justice.

    (2006). Most characters created are alien to Earth and have to find a way to fit into society, not to give their true identities away as an outcast. The double life, the secret identity of the civilian is was what most Americans can relate to; it is relatable and attainable compared to the alien superhero (Postrel, V. (2006). The superhero is what people dream to become, the hero is the glamorous part. There is a clear barrier that still separates fact and fiction, and that is the secret double identity. The allusion to reality is set in the secret identity. A superhero is an ordinary guy who lives and works like every typical American man but behind the mask he can fly, lift mountains and destroy things with his eyes saving the day from villains threatening human existence.

    The movie Fury is about an American tank crew during the last few months of the World War II. The storyline is pretty simple and I would not say it lacks depth. It is a story of a young, naive and innocent newcomer into a war that is corrupted and learns to kill. That is much too predictable and there is no surprise.

    An intriguing plot is the first thing people look for in a movie. War is a complicated subject so in a film about war, while it is important for the plot to be interesting, it is even more important that it is sensible and flows smoothly. This allows the audience to be entertained and keeps them from getting lost in too many complicated details. The Hurt Locker is the story of three men who are part of a United States Army Explosive Ordnance Disposal (E.O.D.) team stationed in Baghdad in 2004. Sergeant First Class William James is a daring specialist who knows everything there is to know about bombs, inside and out.

    “Hello Mr. Bond.” The character, James Bond, usually comes to mind when one thinks of the British agency MI6. An agency that enables its agents to have a license to kill, enabling them to do anything, at any cost to achieve the greater good, with the head of the agency M sitting behind a desk giving orders. This sounds like an agency that anyone would love to work for. In reality, it is an agency that has been through several wars and has evolved over the years with lies, secrets, and betrayal (Corera, 2011).

    Steve Rogers was a gaunt fine arts student growing up at the time of the Great Depression. His alcoholic father died when Steve was a kid, and his mother died from pneumonia after Steve graduated high school. In early 1940, shocked at Nazi Germany’s horrific atrocities, Steve tried to enlist in the army. Failing to meet the physical requirements, he was invited to volunteer for Operation: Rebirth, a project designed to augment US soldiers to the height of physical excellence with the inventions and discoveries of Professor Abraham Erskine. Rogers willingly accepted and became the first test subject. After injections and ingestion of the "Super Soldier Serum," Rogers was exposed to controlled bursts of "Vita-Rays" that activated and stabilized the chemicals in his body. The process successfully altered his physiology from its scrawny state to the maximum of human efficiency, including significantly enhanced musculature and reflexes. Soon after the process, Professor Erskine was assassinated by a Nazi operative, leaving Steve the only remains of Erskine’s genius. Renamed “Project: Rebirth,” variations of the Super-Soldier serum were later tested, under inhumane conditions, on African-American soldiers. The most successful of these was Isaiah Bradley, and Project: Rebirth’s resources were eventually absorbed into a multinational superhuman research project renamed Weapon Plus.
