Packed with blockbuster action and deft character beats, Falcon and the Winter Soldier proves itself worthy of Captain America's legacy with its globetrotting intrigue, mature social commentary, and the sparky rapport between stars Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan.

I want to believe this dire six-part action movie was just an unnecessary origin story, a very long prologue to an actual new kind of adventure about the first Black Captain America's difficult journey through a difficult world. Go to Full Review

Although the series got off to a slow start, the adventures of Captain America's best friends Falcon/Sam Wilson and Winter Soldier/Bucky Barnes have picked up considerably as the action/espionage series continues. Go to Full Review

Why must Sam, or anyone for that matter, don a nation's name and symbols in order to be a fitting hero? The show never provides a satisfactory answer. Go to Full Review

I actually really loved it. Yeah, there were some writing issues. And I will admit that yes the villains were under done. But if you came here for Sam and Bucky, you are going to get Sam and Bucky, and they are great; they are fantastic. Go to Full Review

It addresses some challenging issues, which is commendable and the best thing about the show. ... [It's] a great lesson in how pushing for progress in the face of adversity is the best way forward. Go to Full Review

The Falcon and The Winter Soldier is the closest that the MCU has come to touching the level of grit and humanity that I preferred from Netflix’s Marvel series. Go to Full Review

Khaztiel Delbod D @khaztielddenver_ 1d No tenia expectativas con esta serie pero me termino gustando el desarrollo. Respecto a los personajes aquí pude ver un desarrollo por parte de Bucky y Sam, y sin pensarlo se volvió mi pareja favorita. Respecto a la trama siento que al final no lograron darle un cierre, se sintió que fueron escribiendo sobre la marcha y ese final me pareció muy premeditado. See more Ségolène C @segochato Mar 16 I have heard bad things about it. How they made the "black live matters" movement a promotional thing. And I was reluctant to watch it. I watched it and I really enjoyed the storytelling, each episode delivers a stellar performance and I love that we go in depth into those heroes traumas and their journey labelled as hero. Also, what it means to be a villain vs. a hero, exploring that it is a grey area. Nothing is one sided, which we often lack in the MCU. My only down was maybe some obvious lines that felt like political speeches rather than authentic messages butut I can forgive it given the quality of the show. Great writing, great acting, great visual, good balance between action/emotional drama/humor. Really good in the superhero genre. See more Declan D. @filmbuffkid Mar 14 So why couldn’t this be the 4th captain America movie. It continues the story of the aftermath of endgame and I really liked this show but the villain made so mad. See more Waleed B @RT74672703 Feb 7 A best series a good chemistry See more lya tony ! T @lyatony Feb 5 Shoulda just called it ''The Falcon'' ☹️ I loooved Zemo's participation here. Daniel is such a good actor. Definitely one of the things that kept me locked in while watching. For a character like Bucky who just keeps being thrown around and being sh*t on, again he's been thrown around here... he's just a traumatized sidekick, basically. They keep making up stuff that don' make any sense for his character, like... wtf is a White Wolf. Bucky has NEVER been called 'White Wolf' anywhere in the comics. One thing that is interesting though, is his relationship with Sam. And of course, Sam is the star of the show. The great captain america. I like his personality here and they focus everything on him basically so. The plot still sucks ahh. It's just a rebel teenager and in the end Sam just throws a big speech that essentially is ''racism bad, terrorism bad'' like... that's what they were going for?? Six episodes to state the obvious? Humor is fun, and characters have great chemistry, though. See more Roy M @JellyFish910 Jan 30 The Falcon and the Winter Soldier delivers a solid, entertaining superhero adventure with a surprisingly weighty story about terrorism, freedom fighters, and the blurry line between the two. The standout is Bucky Barnes’ arc, as his journey through therapy, guilt, and redemption adds real emotional depth to the series. While it feels like a few threads were trimmed due to real-world sensitivities, what remains is engaging, thoughtful, and well worth the ride—check it out and enjoy. See more Read all reviews
