Captain America: The Winter Soldier

Steve Rogers is back. So is HYDRA, and SHIELD is having trouble, having been infiltrated by HYDRA. Rogers is having what we might call a mid-hero crisis where he questions his purpose, the organization he works for, and the relationship between being a soldier and an ethical human being. It doesn't help that the Winter Soldier of the title is a brainwashed ol' buddy. It does help that he has a community of heroes around him who he can talk to (Falcon, Black Widow). In all, this is good fun and at the same time raises enough issues that you can force a legitimate real conversation with adults about the moral/ethical issues. What more could you want out of a comic book film.
