Marvel One-Shot: Agent Carter (2013 Video) User Reviews

The best Marvel One-Shot

[tr91 · 7/10 · 30 September 2013]

I watched all of the Marvel One-Shot short films in one go (it only took about 25-30 minutes for all of them). They are all enjoyable in their own way but this one about Agent Carter is definitely my favourite one.

I really liked the plot of this short movie and Hayley Atwell delivered a very strong performance. It was only about 10 minutes long but it had everything. The action was very fast paced with some really cool fighting scenes.

When I was watching it it seemed like I was watching a proper movie, it was that well made. I definitely think the potential is there to make a full feature length movie about Agent Carter. Would highly recommend this (as well as the other short Marvel films).

8/10.

The Pilot for Agent Carter Series

[lucasnasci · 8/10 · 29 May 2016]

This is the first of Marvel One-shots that I had watched. It just felt like a pilot for Agent Carter. Hayley Atwell was amazing again. She is the Peggy Carter we deserve.

I just missed Jarvis... I know he appear in the show, but Peggy and Jarvis are a inseparable team for me now. Howard Stark is always hilarious and he isn't different in this one. Dumb Dumb Dugan was a surprise.

Seriously, Netflix need to pick up Agent Carter for a third season. We need a more of these characters. Bring back these amazing characters to small screen. Just do it Marvel!!!!!!

Sweet revenge

[nancyldraper · 7/10 · 13 March 2019]

I highly recommend these MARVEL ONE SHOTS. Agent Carter getting her long overdo credit is the sweetest kind of revenge. Good performances. Just the right amount of action. It was a nice touch as to her choice of picture in her desk. I give this short film a 7 (good) out of 10. {Marvel Universe Action mini-Adventure}

A++, a brilliant short-movie

[marto_dd · 10/10 · 21 August 2013]

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.

My favorite Marvel One Shot film

[Terryfan · 10/10 · 5 April 2016]

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

It's Fun

[AngelHonesty · 7/10 · 6 August 2023]

Great One-shot. It gives us a good tease of what's to come. I really like how they show Peggy and how gritty she can be. And how she is under estimated. As always Hayley Atwell does a great job with the role of Peggy Carter and she could have easily held a full length solo film about her character. The One-shot is fun and yet tells an interesting story in fifteen minutes. Well put together.

Unfortunately this One-shot doesn't quite fit into the Peggy Carter series. I wish they would have kept the more serious tone that they created here, instead they put a much lighter spin on it. And the way the one-shot ends doesn't flow with the series.

The BEST One-Shot by FAR

[yanis_martin · 8/10 · 28 December 2021]

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.

Agent Carter: The Backdoor Pilot

[Ltufano23 · 6/10 · 31 January 2024]

After a lackluster pair of One-Shots in Phase One, the MCU delivers an upgrade to the shorts with Agent Carter. Annoyed and disrespected in the workforce following the events of Captain America: The First Avenger, Agent Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell) sits behind a desk, watching as other agents fail to make a difference. Being notified of a major assignment, she decides to take matters into her own hands once again. While her adventure is fun, it's yet again quite an inconsequential side story, with only the ending adding anything to the larger MCU. Although it did act as a backdoor pilot to the Agent Carter television show, it is mostly forgotten and written off as quick and fun action.

Tell her she'll be running Shield...with me

[jhudson-11704 · 8/10 · 27 July 2017]

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

9/10!

[AnnaPagrati · 9/10 · 31 August 2021]

Such a truly powerful & intriguing Marvel one-shot!

Marvel One-Shot Agent Carter: Meh

[Platypuschow · 5/10 · 29 July 2018]

I haven't gotten round to watching the Agent Carter television series yet and truth be told have rather low expectations for it. This Marvel One-Shot has done nothing to change this.

While the male agents leave her behind to wrap things up Agent Peggy Carter gets a call about a case and decides to break protocol to go it alone.

Featuring the always excellent Bradley Whitford as her less than bareable boss and Dominic Cooper as Howard Stark this is a distinctly average short and a bit of a weak link in Marvels almost flawless chain.

Atwell is uninspired, the plot is generic and though it solidly feels like an addition to the incredible marvel universe it brings nothing note worthy to it.

The Good:

Bradley Whitford

Continuity

The Bad:

Instantly forgettable stuff

Things I Learnt From This Short:

I'm really not going to like Agent Carter am I?

15 wonderful minutes.

[Sleepin_Dragon · 10/10 · 2 August 2022]

Fed up of being treated like a second class citizen, and marginalised Agent Carter takes up an important mission single handedly, without informing her so called superiors.

You have to utterly love Hayley Atwell, she impressed hugely in Captain America, and slipped effortlessly back into the part. She's phenomenal, she's tough, honest and beautiful.

For a short, this really does pack a punch, very fast paced and action packed. A lot is crammed in.

I wish it had been longer, that's my only gripe, 9/10.

Marvel One-Shots Marathon 2019 #3

[ashfordofficial · 8/10 · 12 December 2021]

As the direct follow up of Captain America: The First Avenger, Agent Carter was the inspiration for the short-lived ABC series.

15 minutes is too short to contain the awesomeness of Hayley Atwell's Peggy Carter. She's an idol against toxic masculinity and one of the greatest Marvel characters in her own right.

Brisk character introduction

[briancham1994 · 8/10 · 27 January 2022]

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.

No wonder this launched a series!

[TBJCSKCNRRQTreviews · 8/10 · 9 July 2022]

After the events of Captain America 1, Peggy Carter works code breaking and data analysis, but due to her boss, is not allowed to go on field missions.

Hayley Atwell in the role proved so popular that they had to come up with ways of bringing her back. This is the first and least awkward. The action is great, combining tension and humor. Cinematography and editing are excellent. This runs 12 minutes, or 15 and a half with end credits.

This is currently available on Disney Plus. I recommend it to fans of the franchise. 8/10.

Failed linking

[lorenzomiele · 8/10 · 11 May 2020]

This corto open a different timeline for the MCU from the Agent Carter TV series. A huge mistake. I am very disappointed because i've just seen the Tv-show,entirely.

Forgettable Avengers addition

[Horst_In_Translation · 4/10 · 17 June 2015]

This is another Marvel One-Shot, actually a pretty long one at 15 minutes, starring Hayley Atwell as Agent Carter. When she is sick of the work at her desk and wants some field action, this is exactly what she gets. Apparently, she gets convincing enough to be employed in Washington to run S.H.I.E.L.D. shortly afterward, very much to the dismay of her boss played by Bradley Whitford. Apart from Atwell, the most prominent cast member is probably Dominic Cooper, who appears, just like her in theatrical releases from the Marvel universe in recent years. Atwell also got her own show this year where she stars as the character she portrays here. The director of these 15 minutes is the executive producer of "The Avengers" and this is not the only Marvel One-Shot he worked on. Same goes for the writer, who came up with scripts for four of these. I personally wasn't too impressed here with this short movie. I enjoy these additions to the big cinema releases at half the running time of this one here. 8 Minutes really should be enough and this one goes considerably longer and thus also lacks in terms of script quality in my opinion. It's all pointless action really and the short scene about bikinis during the ending credits was probably better and more entertaining than everything before. The Captain America references weren't too bad either, but in terms of Carter as a hero on her own, it's a definite nay for me. Not recommended.

Just a Tease

[tylerdburns-81322 · 8/10 · 6 September 2022]

The eleventh entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, this One-Shot simply sets up the beginning of SHIELD, a United States government agency first teased in Iron Man 2. It's a fun little short, and as a plus it's always nice to see Hayley Atwells character put arrogant assholes in their place. The ending gives the audience a little cameo from Dominic Cooper, who portrayed Howard Stark in an earlier installment from the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Captain America: The First Avenger. It even has a post credit scene, which is surprisingly considering the One-Shots previously released do not share that quality.

I never cared

[ThunderKing6 · 3/10 · 8 December 2021]

Story: It was pointless, that's all I have for you.

Production: Nearly messed it because this one shot was pointless to watch. A waste of time. Plus No one asked for an Agent Carter tv show. She was a superficial character. She didn't like Rogers until he was injected with the serum.

Highlight: When it was over and forgotten until now.

Main intelligence: stooges can't be intelligent

Should you watch this clip?: No. It's beyond pointless. Don't worry about it at all.

Rewatch Rerview Series MCU - This can easily be missed.

[OnlyKSJ · 5/10 · 30 June 2022]

*) K Reviews *) ( ( This is okish but this shot shout be considered watching after you have completed watch Agent Carter Season 1 and 2. Although this shot tells you more about the overall connection of Carter with MCU, so you should watch it.

I guess...

[shanny892 · 5/10 · 16 February 2022]

I guess when it came out it would have been cute but it erases everything the two seasons of Agent Carter did. This goes from Steve to running SHEILD. There is no Jarvis no bond no healing. Since they made the Agent Carter series these contradict each other.

Good... for marvel

[rockie-22167 · 5/10 · 15 August 2022]

There's not much to be done in only a fifteen minute movie, but they tried... and it worked. It was a nice thing to see what happened after the chaos of Captain America. Good female power too.
