Hilda and the Mountain King

A mother who comes for her child. The adventure is large and the loyalty is domestic.

The series was already about a mother and a city. The film raises the stake to a mother crossing a border for a child who can no longer pass as the city's child. That is the right stake. A child who knows the series can watch it. The scene to talk about is not the troll fight. It is the mother on the mountain.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier

A captured agency, a friend who was made into a weapon, a man who defects from the lie. Adults. Worth it.

Steve is old-fashioned on purpose, and the film's argument is that a security state with a secret kill list is not owed his obedience just because the building is familiar. Natasha is a person of useful lies learning one loyalty. Bucky is the horror of a friend whose mind was taken and aimed. The conspiracy is large. The decision is small: do not ride in the helicopter.

Adults and older teens. This is one of the few of these films that cares about a republic as something other than a skyline. Watch it for the refusal. Do not stay for the brand that followed.

The eight

A soldier's work, and the question of a lawful order.
