I don’t react to this movie on the same emotional level as I do the first movie, but I believe in this movie on a more intellectual level.
I think that this movie lays plain the core issue that has been a problem since 9/11. We increasingly reduce our freedoms in the name of security, and I don’t see a way that we can get to a sense of normalcy. No one in a position of authority is going to choose giving more freedom in exchange for a safety. There’s no tangible benefit to it. We have a sense of Cap’s position, but he doesn’t get a chance to defend the position, beyond some general lip service. In that sense, the movie fails at selling a specific point of view. It stands with that view, but it doesn’t do much to defend it.
