Unlock the Ultimate MCU Power Ranking: Which Marvel Movie Truly Packs a Knockout Punch?
The best movie in the MCU is Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Modeled after spy and espionage movies of the ’70s—like All the President’s Men, Three Days of the Condor, etc—it’s simply a film that works on every beat and at every moment. With thrilling action sequences, old characters getting more development (Steve, Natasha, Nick Fury), new characters being introduced (Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson), and a ton of fun snuck in with every thrill, The Winter Soldier is just a masterpiece.
But just like with First Avenger and Civil War, the thing that really powers Captain America: The Winter Soldier is the emotional resonance. From start to finish, we know how much Steve Rogers values friendships, and it’s easy to feel his pain when he learns the identity of the titular Winter Soldier (“Bucky? Who the hell is Bucky?”). And the relationship between those men, and how it evolves mostly throughout the course of this movie and, eventually, Civil War, is just one that feels real.
The final confrontation scene between Captain America and The Winter Soldier aboard the SHIELD helicarrier is among the best and most emotionally resonant fight scenes you’ll ever see, Marvel Universe or any movie.
MCU understanding needed? Just watch Captain America: The First Avenger and The Avengers and you’ll be good to go.
