Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014)

Steve Rogers struggles to embrace his role in the modern world and battles a new
threat from old history: the Soviet agent known as the Winter Soldier. Directors: Anthony Russo | Joe Russo Stars: Chris Evans, Frank Grillo, Sebastian Stan, Scarlett Johansson If we can agree that Captain America: The First Avenger (2011) lacked humor - an element that has made the other Avengers movies fun to watch - then perhaps that was the impetus to hire Joe and Anthony Russo, best known for their work on "Arrested Development" and "Community", to co-direct the sequel, which picks up where the original left off, with Steve Rogers getting his bearings after being transported from WWII to the present day. Also being transported through time is Rogers's close friend, Bucky Barnes, whose surprise existence doesn't necessarily make for a happy reunion ... though it should help make for a more compelling and complex villain scenario.
