Captain America: The Winter Soldier (Disneycember)

(The Disneycember logo is shown, before showing a poster for "Thor: The Dark World" and one screenshot from this film)

Doug (vo): So, I'm just gonna take a wild guess and say the comments in the last video I did, "Thor: The Dark World", are probably not very positive. I'm also gonna take a guess that people are gonna say, "Well, what did you want? What were you actually looking for?"

(Then, we are treated to trailer clips and stills from "Captain America: The Winter Soldier")

Doug (vo): "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" is what I was looking for. This is a sequel that had a previous film that was good and did a lot more with its premise that anybody would probably give them credit for it. And the sequel dies even further into it. It takes the drama, it takes the characters, it takes the story, and it ups it to ten. When this film came out, nobody was expecting much. "Yeah, it looks like it'll be fun. Okay, let's go and see Captain America kinda do his thing. You know, it's...not Avengers, but I'm sure it'll be good." Everyone was blown away by how much work and effort went into this one. The development, the twists and turns, the action... Holy smokes! This is actually a great comic book movie.

Story
Doug (vo): Captain America returns in modern-day Washington, DC, where he finds he's still having trouble fitting in, but not in the ways that you'd think. It's not the "tee-hee, ha-ha, what's this thing I don't recognise", it's him trying to deal with the fact that a lot of people he knew are gone. It actually opens with him visiting his old girlfriend who's mentally and physically fading away. And you know what? It's kind of a tearjerker. (a picture of young Peggy Carter and the poster for the ABS series, "Agent Carter", are shown) This is a woman who is really likeable in the first film, has her own show right now, (back to the film) and then suddenly to see her like this? It's sad! You really friggin' feel something for this. But that's not where it stops. S.H.I.E.L.D., it looks like it's being taken over by the same people that tried to stop Captain America in the first film. Nick Fury is dead, and the Captain is told not to trust anybody, so he goes rogue. He gets a few people to join him, including Black Widow, and it's a chase to not only outrun S.H.I.E.L.D., but also stop that evil organization, now known famously as (whispers) HYDRA. They also try to figure out the story behind their newest weapon, the Winter Soldier. I think most of the people know what the story is behind this guy, but I'm not gonna read of it.
