I loved it, it made me an emotional wreck. sweatdrop
They cleared up any answered questions from Phase 1, like say, what happened to all the important characters after the first movie.
Oh! And I mustn't forget the fighting sequences, they were wonderful.

My advice: Please watch it!

Personally I think this might actually be my favorite marvel movie to date, and yes I'm including Avengers.

God, same, and I honestly can't believe I wound up feeling that way. I've never been a HUGE Cap fan until the movies. I could do without him in the comics (for the most part), but when they started doing this particular series of movies, I was done for. SO ******** good.

That's too bad. I have't really read much Cap in a team setting (So, no Avengers or anything of the sort), but I positively love Ed Brubaker's run on Captain America's solo comics. The Winter Soldier story line being one of my favorites.

I'm reading it right now, actually. The movies got me hooked. I just read...um. Something. And something else, LMAO. But I'm on Brubaker's now.

As of the last time I checked, IMDB ranked the new Cap at 8.3, which is one point higher than Avengers. Having seen it, I'd say that it's a lot better than the first Cap, but not better than Avengers.

I only have two real critiques about the movie.

1) Cap's fighting style is too... nimble, I guess the word would be, during several encounters (like the first one), as are most peoples'. It seemed like pretty much everyone had been taking lessons from Natasha, or something.

2)

Coulson wasn't in it. I know he's busy off with Skye, Ward, and all of them, but I was hoping we'd see him.

Oh well; at least Sitwell dies.

It seems like everyone in action movies (especially superhero movies) fights with that same style these days. I think it sadly has more to do with the choreographer than the character.

I know, but it's just annoying to me because Cap isn't a ninja/martial artist/assassin/whatever, and Avengers wasn't like that. In that movie, Widow fought like Widow, Hawkeye fought like Hawkeye, Cap fought like Cap, etc. Maybe it's because they had different choreographers, maybe it's because Avengers had the advantage of Joss Wheedon being at the helm, but whatever it was, Cap shouldn't be so light-weight.

Now, as far as elevating shield-bashing to an art form, that was something they got spot-on. A few of the shield-tosses almost felt like something out of Xena, but that didn't really bother me.

I just checked it out on IMDB, and yes, they were different people. The Captain America guy looks like he wasn't as experienced and mostly worked in tv before this.

Was that story written before the movie or afterwards, as a tie-in?

[Captain Merica]

It was amazing! But my opinion is biased

Waaaay before. It's what the movie was more or less based on. Winter Soldier has also had his own solo comic for a while now as well.

Further more, I remember reading an interview with Ed Brubaker where he talked about how he was basically told that without his run on Captain America (and if I remember correctly, they were talking about the Winter Soldier story line in particular. ) there wouldn't have been any Captain America movies and they might have skipped him for the Avengers as well. It's too late right now, but I'll try to track down that interview sometime soon because I'm a bit foggy on the details.

I just saw it last night and it was awesome! Also people left right when the credits started rolling.....I thought people would know by now that marvel puts stingers in the credits emo

[Captain Merica]

Bucky has been cap, for a while even. When (spoiler in white) Steve dies

[darkabyssx]

okay, that movie was AMAZING.
I mean captain america is one of my least favorite superheroes but DAMN that movie was GOOD!

THE CINIMATOGRAPHY AND THE PLOT AND THE REFERANCES AND THE SCRIPT AND THE EFFECTS AND IT WAS REALLY REALLY GOOD!

Actually, Cap is a martial artist, martial artist and agility expert are even listed on his wikipedia page. In fact he has a reputation for being one of the best martial artists in the marvel universe. If we're going for a more accurate Captain America, then Winter Soldier is actually doing it right and Avengers had it wrong (not that I'd say he was a slouch in that movie either). My guess is that the directors and choreographer were trying to bring out that aspect of the character more in this movie.
