Excellent movie. Well connected characters. This is probably my third or second best Marvel movie tying with Thor. Really good story line. People who are always complaining about Marvel not doing the 'realistic' route like TDK etc well here you go. Its got that bit of realism while still conforming to the Marvel template laid out in their previous movies.
I was slightly disappointed how Captain Americas' fighting skills were utilized in the Avengers. Here you have them in all their glory. Snyder needs to take note on how to choreograph the future Batman fight sequences cos this is how its done.
Falcon, Nick Fury and Black widow were good. Good story development with them.
Winter soldier was portrayed brilliantly. Man that dude packs a punch. Only gripe is that the movie is called Winter Soldier but yet its barely anything about him. Wanted more words exchanged between him and cap. Really get the emotion and intensity flowing before they start fighting at the end.
Barely anything about Sharon. Is she related to Peggy in the movies? perhaps keeping that for a sequel.
Liked the mention of Dr Stephen Strange (aka Sorcerer Supreme).
I thought the length and pacing was perfect.
Best Phase 2 movie by a mile.
A-
