Movie Review: Captain America: The Winter Soldier

My dad and I saw Captain America: The Winter Soldier tonight. It's awesome beyond words!!! I'm never sure how much to tell about a movie without giving too much away. But, basically there's something going on in S.H.I.E.L.D. and it's up to Captain America and friends to stop it. There's lots of action, a great story, and an amazing cast. Captain America wears his, I guess they call it a stealth suit, for a good portion of the movie. But he also wears a slightly modified version of his suit from Captain America: The First Avenger for a good portion of the movie.

Anthony Mackie as Falcon is awesome, and hopefully they're including him in Avengers: Age of Ultron. Samuel L. Jackson had a great part in this movie as Nick Fury. It was great to see Scarlett Johannson as Natasha Romanoff, a.k.a. Black Widow in it. It's great to see her get more screen time so her character can be fleshed out more. Cobie Smulders was great. And in my opinion Chris Evans always does a great job of portraying wholesome superhero Captain America. There were appearances by actors reprising their roles from other movies. Gary Shandling is back after appearing in Iron Man 2. Hayley Atwell returns as Peggy Carter. There's an interesting scene in present day between her and Steve Rogers, a.k.a. Captain America.

The special effects were great in this movie. To see Falcon fly around in the air was awesome. The Winter Soldier's cybernetic arm looked great. It all looked amazing. There was a lot of action. There's excitement through the whole movie. It's also got a great story that ties in with the previous movie, Captain America: The First Avenger. There are exciting twists and turns in the movie. It never gets boring in my opinion.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier is a great movie, and a must see. I loved it, and I think my dad did as well. I recommend going to see it. And if you do, stay through the credits. If you've been watching Marvel Comics movies, you know there's an extra scene in the credits. Also, watch for Stan Lee's latest cameo. It's an awesome movie!

My Comic Strip Series

I plan on debuting my new comic strip series this Sunday on here, as well as on deviantART. It's a three panel strip, and I plan on posting a new one every Sunday. This comic strip features the characters I've been blogging about on here, such as Jack Miller, Matt Kirby, Jennifer Kyle, etc. It will be right below the banner/header on here, and I'm thinking of putting it above my "Newest Deviations" section on my deviantART page. I'll archive the comic strips in a category in my gallery on there. You can go to my deviantART page by clicking on the link to the right. If you're interested, check out the first comic strip this weekend.

Sword of Omens

I was watching Thundercats last night and it occurred to me, there hasn't been a show like it since, or at least not many. For one thing, the animation is very realistic and detailed. Most animated action shows nowadays have a style similar to that of Batman: the Animated Series , or anime. Those types of animation are great, but there's been nothing that looks like Thundercats since the '80s or early '90s. Another thing is, as far as I remember, there also hasn't been many animated shows like it in the fantasy genre since. I think you could probably describe it as being somewhere between Lord of the Rings and Star Wars. I know there aren't talking cat people, living in a lair shaped like a giant cat, in either of those, but it sort of has the feel of those. Third Earth sort of resembles a world like the one in Lord of the Rings, with all kinds characters, but there is also technology like in Star Wars. Star Wars also has some worlds that don't look as tec

"The Dalai Lama" I've been practicing line drawing with the book titled Sketching Basics , by Alois Fabry. I think this drawing turned out pretty well, but I might like to try doing a version without the shading. Alois Fabry has the reader start out just drawing lines, and towards the end of the project, he has them doing shading. Line drawing, from what he said, doesn't have shading or anything like that. I guess he tells the reader to add shading to make it more than a line drawing (Fabry, 18-23). I've been kind of following His Holiness, the Dalai Lama, and what he does. I've been reading his books. I like what he has to say about achieving inner peace, and being compassionate. He has some very interesting points of view on things. I think people could, and I'm sure have, learn a lot from him. He's a very wise man. Works Cited Fabry, Alois. Sketching Basics . New York: Mud Puddle, Inc., 1986. Print.
