Captain America makes a triumphant return in his second stand-alone title, "Captain America: The Winter Soldier." Unlike the first film which felt like little more than a lead up to "The Avengers," this sequel does a much better job of standing on its own two feet. Steve Rodgers is as likable as ever and the plot is surprisingly interesting and, for the most part, works rather well. But it's the action sequences that really steal the show. Each fight is well choreographed and incredibly fun to watch. However, at this point in the game, it's apparent that Marvel is lurking in dangerous waters by releasing seemingly countless "Avengers" tie-ins. They're going to have to change their strategy fast if they want to keep their audience interested and grounded. But in the meantime, "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" is a worthy and entertaining addition to their superhero saga.
