Marvel One-Shot: Agent Carter

Last year I was really pleased with Item 47. It was funny, smart, had a nice dialog and likable characters. I hoped Agent Carter would be at least that good.

Well, it was actually much, MUCH better. While Item 47 was generally enjoyable, Agent Carter is really touching. It brings some serious questions without loosing its lighter tone.

Hayley Atwell is phenomenal as Peggy Carter. Atwell just has it all - the emotional depth, the attractive looks, the cool moves - the whole package. She's playing the character with so much love, it's an absolute pleasure to watch her. Peggy is forced to live in a world of injustice and double standards. Her struggle to keep it together is wonderfully done here.

This short film feels like a mini-episode of Alias and that's one of the biggest compliments I could ever say about anything.

My only complain about it is that it's not a full-length feature film. Marvel fans deserve a female-lead full-length feature film. Peggy deserves her own full-length feature film. Atwell deserves full-length feature film. Please, Marvel, make it happen soon.

This is one of the longest of the Marvel One-Shots and it uses this time to really introduce the character of Peggy Carter beyond the little we saw in Captain America: The First Avenger. The post-war workplace setting is unfortunately so dismissive of Carter, which gives her a good chance to prove herself. During the mission against "Zodiac" (unfortunately not explicated in anything but superficial terms), she holds her own and achieves some impressive acrobatic action sequences to show us what she is capable of. By pitting her against so many enemies - co-workers, bad guys and circumstances - we see Agent Carter at her best.

This is a great one shot that Marvel made with a beloved character. The writing is solid for the 10ish minutes that it is and the action is spectacular too.

Atwell portrays Carter with such confidence that it is hard to deny she is a capable agent. It is nice to see Stark too, keeping up with continuity that he was one of the founders of Shield.

In light of continuity, it is hard to gauge when this one shot takes place or if it is even canon after all. It could take place after season 2 of Agent Carter but it is hard to tell.

+ Atwell + Writing and action + Stark and Shield - Hard to tell where in the timeline this exists, or if it even does

Final Score: 8.8/10

Agent Carter is by far the best One-Shot. Amazing action and even a nice reveal thats important for the whole story of the MCU. It doesn't really make sense with the TV Show though but yea still active One-Shot.

After viewing every Marvel One Shot movie this one I have to say that Marvel One Shot: Agent Carter is my favorite one.

It features Hayley Atwell reprising her role as Peggy Carter in her first solo film. This is a short movie that comes with the Blu ray edition of Iron Man 3.

The plot for this film is simple but works of Peggy as we see her grow as far as a character goes

Now the writing for this one is very good and so fun one-liners.

The music in the film is really well done it gives you that feel of danger, decision, and surprise for a short film.

The acting very well done with the best performance going to Hayley who is just right for the role of Agent Carter she just knows how to make the character

The plot for this short film is smart, clever and goes to show the best man for the job is a woman and there is turns of unexpected you don't see coming.

The film just knows how to hold your attention which is why I suggest giving this one a try

I give Marvel One Shot: Agent Carter an 10 out of 10
