Hey--I am glad some of you are attentive enough to notice I accidentally call it "Project Oversight" instead of "Project Insight" at the beginning of the video. Why did I do this? I have no earthly idea. I was reading from a script. Ron Burgundy has an excuse, because someone edited his script. Mine...was correctly written. I just read it wrong. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's ironic that Howard and Peggy founded SHIELD, while Steve took it down.

Winter soldier is one of the best movie ever. Even viewers didnt trust anyone and doubted all characters.

Captain America's theme in this movie was so good and I keep listening to it. So glad you let all of it play out in the beginning.

without this movie, you can't create civil war, there's no bucky, and if the avengers aren't apart, infinity war and endgame aren't possible too

Agree. A "grounded" super hero movie with a flair of espionage, politics, freedom and it's price. Love it. It's also nice to see Cap starting to understand the world he is living in now.

Steve Rogers biggest super power isn’t his strength, or speed, but his ability to inspire others. The Cap movies really nailed that concept.

Winter Soldier is not just best Marvel movie, but one of the greatest action movie of all time. It had story, it was thrilling, the action was real, the stunts were choreographed beautifully, the score was good.

“Captain’s orders.” Is one of my favorite lines of all time.

This isn't just a good superhero film, it's a good film, period. It actually works thematically really well when watched as part of a trilogy. Not the Captain America trilogy, though it's obviously a part of that. It carries a lot of similar themes and concepts as Three Days of the Condor and All the President's Men. Given that Redford stars in both, I think his casting as Pierce must be an intentional nod

My dad loved the iron man movies so much, he passed away in 2013 and I watched all the marvel movies to feel close to him, when I saw this movie in theaters I was mindblown by how good it was, after watching endgame in theaters I cried so bad remembering my dad and seeing tony die, these movies mean so much more than what people think, for me it meant feeling closer to my dad even tho he wasn’t here anymore, this movie was a masterpiece.

Such an important movie for today. Freedom is always one generation away from tyranny.

The Winter Soldier theme in this movie was so sick

that man at the desk is a pure trooper. He was fearing for his life knowing crossbones was a hydra agent

10:09 Lots of people say they didn't like Sharon Carter, but I'll always be a fan of her because of this scene and saving the guy at the controls from getting shot.

2:53: "the last time I trusted someone I lost an eye" It was a fucking cat

No WAY a channel with less than 500 subs has production quality like this. Absolutely amazing

I am surprised that the mcu fanboys don't know about this marvel theme song This is literally the best mcu solo film and theme

Winter Soldier is definitely the best standalone MCU movie and even the best standalone comic book movie ever made.

One reviewer said MoS changed Superman, but Captain America 2 changed America. It's so badass to hear. That the character was so important, it is the nation that gives way in the story.

2014, Marvels best year

Thats one thing I like about Cap. He does the right thing, he doesn't operate in grey areas. That's also why his friends don't feel like they can live up to him in the latest show (Bucky and Falcon). Even before the serium his morals and attitude were spot on, his character is why the doctor chose him and told him to remain "a good man" rather than the perfect soldier.

Personally I’ve always thought Cap was the coolest avenger and I completely agree that Winter Solider is one of the best if not the best MCU movie, Chris Evans did a great job portraying him and made Cap so badass, he will be missed 🧢

The action scenes in this movie are amongst the best in any movie I have ever seen and I have seen alot.

Actually this is the movie that got me in the mcu

I love me some Endgame but this is the best. Just so good.

I also like this dark blue Cap suit more than other suits he had

5:42 I never noticed before that this is the same song at the end of Endgame.

Captain America : the Winter Soldier is Marvel's best film since the story is well written and really doesnt have to be a Superhero film but its a espionage - on the run film . One scene that really knocks the ball outta the park is when Steve visits Peggy who has aged and ha dementia and dying. That scene gives the story and film depth. And the film gives Furu time which is very well paced action . Then the famous elevator scene is excellent . ( recreated in Endgame but w/ a twist ) Black Widow teams up with Steve and then introduces the Falcon as they meet up with the Winter Soldier as Steve fights him he finds out its his old friend Bucky who doesnt know him. The film is said by critics to be like 3 Days of the Condor which is awesome since the star of that film is the main villain of this film , Robert Redford . I recomend this film to non fans since it has well paced action and story that doesn't give you time to get bored. Get out the popcorn and be entertained.

2:56 is the reason so many people didn't like what they did with Captain Marvel

So true, this movie was pure gold

The soundtrack alone is the best thing yet!

i showed my dad this movie last night. he's not one for most movies, much less superhero movies, but he really enjoyed the realistic fast paced fight scenes and the very realistic theme of Freedom vs safety

The theme in this movie hyped me up each time Tbh this is the most grounded marvel movie ever since all of this could happen

And Cap didn't just express it in words, but in his actions, "Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.".. And it goes hand in hand with the last point you make! Be careful what you compromise! Subscribed!

“Agent Romanov is comfortable with EVERYTHING!” 😍

I love how you showed that this was an amazing movie while not even mentioning one of the two characters in the title. Well done, sir

Winter soldier and the dark knight are the two greatest superhero movies of all time, change my mind

One thing to add, the score undoubtedly one of the best in marvels cache of films possible. Henry Jackman killed it just wished it continued in Civil War. But now with Falcon and The Winter Soldier, the hope once return.

Not only it was the best MCU film but the most Violent film Marvel has done without too much blood shed I mean it was brutal lol winter solider threw the guy glasses that’s was a hydra operative into a huge moving truck on the highway …. Like his body must’ve been scattered across that road … then Bucky goes on top on the jet and shoots the pilot twice in the head !!! Then Pierce shoots his maid twice on the body kills her dead … this movie was the most bloody without being bloody and Marvel will never do a movie like this again in terms of violence and killing was just off the charts

Checking in just to say it’s still the best MCU movie ever

What I like about Winter Soldier and Civil War the most is how both films bring up complex questions about freedom vs order. Questions that are ultimately left in the air so the viewer could make their own opinions. When Civil War came out, people debated which side was in the right with a more or less equal divide on both fronts. When both sides of a debate have equally good arguments, you know you have written a good conflict story.

I like how this vid is just about the story instead of the winter soldier cap relationship cuz I think the story of this movie isn’t talked about enough

You’ve made me realize how important good writing is in a movie

Finally someone with the same opinion: This movie is amazing!!!

The theme gives me chills, literally

The elevator fight scene was phonomenal.

Thanks for a really good review. I have seen other reviews and discussions, but they usually focus more on Bucky, which is understandable. The relationship between Cap and Bucky is an emotional highlight of the movie. Your choice to focus exclusively on the underlying themes of trust and friendship, safety/ control and freedom/ letting go underlines a completely different aspect of the movie, one that usually doesn't come to the fore so much. Your review has enriched my understanding of the film, and increased my appreciation of it. My compliments.

The character building, the dialogues, and the hand-to-hand action combat scenes are just epic. And man oh man, the soundtrack gives me goosebumps when I hear it even now. One of my go-to 'I am feeling awesome' albums. Awesome video by the way.

This is objective truth

I just rewatched the series too. Looks like I have to watch it all again with a more discerning eye.

Just fuckin' remove "why" from the title 🤷🏻‍♂️ Even Infinity War is only as good as this at best but this one beats all! 🔥❤️

It is easily one of the best. Criminally underrated. I still think Infinity War, Endgame and Civil War are on top, but this movie is just a "True Marvel Movie"

dude i swear to god i keep going back to the intro, its sooo goosebumpsy

Project Oversight is totally accurate as it is Global Oversight

Winter Soldier has been my favorite MCU movie since it came out.

any time the Winter Soldier features prominently in the MCU, I like how they bring bigger debates in TWS: freedom vs security Civil War: govt. oversight vs individual rights FATWS: race, police brutality, how we treat veterans

This has been my favorite MCU film since I finished my first watch in the theatre. It's a Tom Clancy novel, but with Capt America and a universe with super heroes/villains.

I just watched the movie again for the fifth or sixth time and it’s still as good as I remember. Everything from the pacing, writing, choreography, dialogue, it’s really just top tier. One of my favorite movies of all time

Captain America had one of the best movie trilogies of all time.

I Remeber seeing this 3x in theatre. The tone of this just felt darker than anything the MCU did before it. Still my favorite too because it was good with just character development and plot. Not just throwing a bunch of superheroes in there for an audience grabber

Wow this is a really good video! Winter soldier isn’t my favourite marvel film, but it’s up there. You made some really good points and the editing was great too

Keep doing stuff I haven’t heard about before. Subscribed

And we got Falcon and The Winter Soldiet similar to this movie 💥

Steve’s relationship with Natasha is easily one of the best parts of the movie in my opinion

Nobody ever believes me when I say this movie is actually epic AND smart. It’s actually really well done, everything down to the story, action, character development. This is everything I wanted from a captain America movie in the first place. One of my favorite movies of all time.

This is my favorite MCU movie

The intro is edited so nicely. I watched it on repeat for so many times

The montage of the start of the video is by far the best MCU Montage Recaps that I've ever seen.

Very impressive work you have done compiling these thoughts.

The perfect character development in MCU as a pair - I would say Steve and Natasha. Their bonding and friendship just grew on and on.

This movie also has the song troubleman by Marvin Gaye in it and from all the great songs choices in the mcu that’s probably the best

I love these kind of Videos, the ones explaining why movies/shows are amazing or terrible with LOTS of evidence to support their opinion.

That speech he gives towards the end is probably my favorite mcu moment. I would say evans has been the only actor to pull off being such an iconic paragon of virtue since Chris reeve Superman.

I remember seeing this the day it came out, walking out of the theater, and immediately going to the counter to see if there were any more tickets available for showings the rest of the day. I NEEDED to see it again IMMEDIATELY. Still the best MCU film.

My Top 5 MCU movies : 1) Winter Soldier 2) Iron Man 1 3) Guardians of Galaxy 1 4) Thor Ragnorok 5) Black Panther

This is the pinnacle example of how superhero movies should be made. Excellent pacing between action, humor, plot, suspense, and character development. The fight choreography is the best of any superhero movie I’ve ever seen, and the villain one of the best as well

Best movie in the MCU for sure! These heights were never reached again & the way it looks may never be in the future either...

I love this movie! The themes, the cast, the action....The music...THE MUSIC! All this old school espionage and drama. It's a slick action film with just the right amount of humour. Also you have to give it to Chris Evans. This was some of his best character work. He's like those old school Hollywood heartthrobs. Handsome but dignified (onscreen at least). I remember being so skeptical of his casting because he always played this frat boy kinda guy but this movie made me fall in love with how inspiring he made Cap look on screen.

“On your Left!”

This is a really good video man you got a new sub.

A man of culture. Liked and subscribed.

It just makes me so mad that people can watch a movie like this and then let government do all of the things they’ve done to us

So glad u let the theme song play in the beginning of the vid

0:22 the intro is fire

My favorite MCU film, coupled with my favorite Cap suit in the STEALTH suit ✨

video's first 1 minute is so good with the music sometimes I come here just to watch this part even 4 years later

Excellent Essay Sir.

I watched this movie about 20 times even more. Still best movie for me from any one from I watched yet

am just waiting to finish falcon n winter solider then gna rewatch this!!! definitely my favourite still

Wholeheartedly agree! Thank you for this video.

This was the perfect Marvel film. As a guy who never watches trailers I was so blown away by this movie. Not even end game got me feeling the same way. It seemed this movie was not hyped up as much too which helped making it such a pleasant surprise. I really wished Black Panther followed a similar path. Alas. If you really follow the marvel cinematic universe i dare say you'd agree with me that this was their best and most well made movie

IT IS the best! AND my favorite.

Still wont get enough recognition for my liking...brilliant master piece

I agree, this is their best, for the reasons cited here, and also because the writers and director simply set out to make a GOOD MOVIE, not just a superhero tent-pole film with lots of "splotions"

Bro that’s theme is so beautiful, and so bitter sweet after endgame. We all grew up watching these, and this one is definitely my favorite of them all

I absolutely love the score!

I forgot how much I loved this theme!!

I think it's the fact that Captain America in this movie is more generally badass and less cheesy. We got a great story, not forced comedy and this is the first film to have the improved fight choreography. Thanks to Chris Evans actually. He played the video game and asked the directors if his character could move like he does in game. Since then the combat and movements by characters has been much more visually pleasing.

Thank you for this one!
