In Theaters: April 4th, 2014

There is only one wide release this week.  But, oh boy, it's a big one!

Captain America: The Winter Soldier

The one we've all been waiting for!  Well, I've been waiting for it.  And anyway it's the first Marvel movie this year.  Early reviews are very good.

Captain America is directed by the Russo brothers this time around.  They mostly do television but seem to have had a deft transition to film here (their only prior film directing credit is You, Me, and Dupree).  The Russo brothers were an unusual choice, but Marvel has sort of made a business of that recently.  In fact they have started a trend of unexpected choices to helm large and important features.

The writers are a team that also wrote Thor: The Dark World.  And I have nothing interesting to say about them.

I don't even know what else to say about this movie.  I'm just excited for it.

I will tell you to expect a pretty big opening this weekend.  The Captain already drew a HUGE $75,000,000 from a few other markets last weekend.

If you love Marvel movies (and honestly, who doesn't at this point?) you'll love this one.

And, as usual with Marvel movies, stay after the credits!

The one.  The only.  Big Shot Critic
