On the spectrum of the Marvel Comics franchise films, Captain America: The Winter Soldier doesn't reach the cinematic heights of the Raimi Spider-Mans (oh, okay, the first two Spider-Mans) or Whedon's The Avengers, but doesn't crater out anywhere near the Thor or (shudder) Fantastic Four efforts. Filing my review for Jim Freund's Hour of the Wolf, I was happy (relieved, even) to note the not inconsiderable pleasures of this new chapter in the chronicles of America's most patriotic superhero, even if I also feel duty-bound point out the ways it could have been better.
