Chuck Dowling’s review published on Letterboxd:
I probably shouldn't have watched this so soon after the first Captain America and The Avengers, but hey, I was excited for more Cap. Winter Soldier is a solid film but a lot of it rubs me the wrong way for reasons I'm still not too sure of. Also, much of its strength is in the build up to what's actually happening, and after knowing that, future viewings might not hold up.
And the reveal of the titular solider is 1. obvious and 2. given away in a scene much earlier than the actual reveal thanks to some bad lighting. Dude's face is CLEARLY VISIBLE. I couldn't be the only person to notice this.
Still, good set pieces and the cast is pretty good with what they're asked to do.
