Movie Review
So "Captain America:The Winter Soldiers" is a thrilling, fast paced, adventure, spy movie. The actions starts a few minutes in and continues to almost the end when a few loose pieces are tied together and Marvel does what it does best, tie-ins to the next set of movies. Chris Evans does a good job at playing Captain America, as an individual that is driven by good and cannot understand when that good is compromised. I personally like Samuel L Jackson in this movie. I think his portrayal as Nick Fury is the best so far, for him, in this movie. Maybe because this is the most screen time he has gotten so far or maybe also because they play into the Nick Fury court when good looks like bad and bad looks like good. Ultimately this movie though is a spy thriller that is full of action and is all about what is good and should that good control others. I would recommend this movie to anyone for a good enjoyment to watch.
Theological Review
Honestly this movie does not teach or show much theology of any kind. Some might say differently but I feel this is just a strait action movie that goes from one point to the next. Something I did note though while watching is the fact that a main story line running though the movie is about protection. Who should protect who and how should that protection look. SHIELD is a organization that protects people and in this movie that protection is tested, a good protection verses and evil protection.. As I was watching this unfold, I realized that I can praise God that I have Him for protection. I do not need some organization, flying ship, or even superhero to protect me. I have Jesus, the one true hero, for protection and I have the sovereign all-powerful Creator to guide and keep me safe. That I think is the overwhelming truth that this movie cannot show and we as lovers of Jesus truly know.
