Reaction: The numbers for this one are a mixed bag. While the film grossed slightly more at the worldwide box office, profits were down slightly compared to the first film due to increased expenses. The numbers were obviously still superb, but it's always a bit of a bummer when profits dip in a franchise. That said, it is safe to say that Captain America is a safe bet to return for a third film.... if he survives the events of The Avengers at the end of this season.

“While Glen Powell and Tom Burke are great in their lead and villainous roles respectively, I can’t help but continue my thoughts from last film that Paul Mescal is out of place as Bucky Barnes, even more so here as the winter soldier. As for the film itself the guerilla take that Berg & Cobb went with was a welcome one. Again I'm not sure where i fit with LRF’s Captain America but they are enjoyable movies nonetheless.” - J. Darrell Ellington, Behind the Camera

"A tense, action-packed spy thriller, Winter’s Reckoning delivers brutal combat, political intrigue, and emotional stakes that elevate Captain America’s legacy. Glen Powell shines as a conflicted Steve Rogers, facing Paul Mescal’s relentless Winter Soldier and Tom Burke’s sinister Zemo. With gripping set pieces and a strong supporting cast, the film blends high-stakes action with emotional character-driven storytelling." - Liv Simmons, Rogue River Press

"I would have liked a bit more character development for Captain America in this one as he does not seem particularly phased by his arctic 75 year slumber from the first film. Glen Powell continues to be great in the role though, making Rogers effortlessly likable. Tom Burke as the villain did a decent job living up to Lars Mikkelsen's fantastic Red Skull from the first film, giving SHIELD a credible threat to take out. A lot of this film is devoted to Paul Mescal's Winter Soldier, but some of those aspects felt a little rushed. Overall, it was a solid action flick and a good sequel to the first film." - Olive Carroll, Houston Chronicle

Rated PG-13 for intense action and thematic elements
