15 Best Acted Scenes In MCU Movies
9. The Elevator Scene - Captain America: The Winter Soldier
A feeling of suspense is one of the most exciting things a film can produce – the part that leaves you inching forward in your seat, wondering what exactly will be the catalyst to start the action. The scene that leads up to the elevator fight in the S.H.I.E.L.D base is one of these, as we watch Steve slowly put together the pieces that something isn’t right with the people around him.
It’s the little touches that really make this one – Steve’s slowly changing expression, the uncomfortable atmosphere of the folks around him, the suspicious little corner-of-the-eye glances- all combine to make a truly tense scene.
Building suspense is a concept that can turn clunky if not done properly, so seeing everything done so right, down to the tiniest detail, makes for an amazing build-up.
