DoctorWho Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Just saw it, very good movie, Cap is so badass in this. Really, really liked it! 8/10 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChD Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 (edited) This movie was brilliant. I'm tempted to say that it's one of the best, if not the best (in my eyes, at least) Marvel movie yet. Everything was perfect, especially the third act (The scene where cap falls into the is simply brilliantly filmed). I only had a problem with Falcon (Just overall, he was weak. I didn't like his suit or his personality - Yes, a few jokes here and there, but nothing to stand out and call him decent), and with the fact that The Winter Soldier was so underused. I mean, I am biased when saying this, but Stan nailed the character. He would've been even better if he got more screen time than that. Loved the first post credits scene (involving the twins) and felt kinda disappointed at seeing the second (It should've been in reverse order: Bucky and then the twins). Also, loved to see Abed in this movie! ALSO, the Pulp Fiction reference. 9.5/10 Edited April 4, 2014 by ChD 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jb007 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Excellent thriller with great action. As somebody who loved The FIrst Avenger, this comes as a very satisfying middle part wanting to see more of the CA. Chris Evans was very good.

baumer Posted April 4, 2014 Author Share Posted April 4, 2014 Finally, I have seen a good...nay great stand alone Avengers movie. The only good movie in this whole universe is Iron Man. The rest have varied between shit and okay. But now Captain America Winter Soldier has finally turned out to be better than all the rest. The story was well done, Romanov is bad ass and still sexy as hell and the action scenes are terrific. Evans looks like a Mr. Universe contestant now and his fighting style is pretty cool. I liked seeing him fight George St. Pierre at the beginning, loved the War Games line (Shall we play a game), loved the checklist of things Captain America had to do and loved the Pulp Fiction epitaph on Fury's tombstone. 9/10 Questions for all the Marvel loonies: Why was the main soldier bad guy so tough? He's the one who fought Falcon at the end, I think his name was Brock. Why was he such a formidable match? Was he genetically altered as well? Why was Black Widow and the other Security Council members going to fry? What was on their shoulder or their body that would cause them to die or pass out or whatever it was that Pierce said it would do? Who are the twins? Was that Loki's specter in the mid credits scene? 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got back from this and don't have much to add to what you said so I will answer some of the questions. The thing on their shoulders were a device that Robert Redford had them put on once they got into the SHIELD building. He lied and said it was just for biometric access to places. It was there so he could kill them off if needed. The twins are Quicksilver and Scarlett Witch Yes that was Loki's scepter 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a loonie, but still.1) And why is Black Widow so great fighter? Same as this guy, high class SHIELD Agent.2) They clipped identificators once they get into SHIELDS quarters. That devices causes some electrical(?) shock to heart and kills. Dunno how BW survived, while others not.3) Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch. Members of Avengers in comics. Actually children of Magneto from X-Men, but this will be changed in Avengers:Age Of Ultron, obviously.4) Yes, it was. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the one who fought Falcon at the end, I think his name was Brock. Why was he such a formidable match? Was he genetically altered as well? Brock Rumlow. As far as I know he's not altered in any way, he's just incredibly skilled and conditioned (like Black Widow and Hawkeye in the MCU). Why was Black Widow and the other Security Council members going to fry? What was on their shoulder or their body that would cause them to die or pass out or whatever it was that Pierce said it would do? Pierce gave them some odd USB-like thing that gave them access to everywhere in the building, but he also had it rigged with some sort of thermite explosive or something that when trigged would burn through their chest and their heart. At least I think that's what it was. Nothing happened to Widow since she triggered some electric pulse on herself that knocked her out but also fried the device. Who are the twins? Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch. They're mutants who were revealed to be Magneto's children, but the MCU can't use the word mutant or anything related to Magneto. Quicksilver is also appearing in the X-Men movie in May. Was that Loki's specter in the mid credits scene? Yes Edited April 4, 2014 by 4815162342 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobinHood26 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 (edited) I was hoping for this to be a spy, political triller with Captain America in the lead, what I got was standard superhero genre fair. The only thing 100% consistent through out the movie was how hot Scar Jo is. Wow. Its not a bad movie buy any means, but it just kind of sits there. No jaw dropping moments or plot twists. The problem is the film lacks a focus. Its trying to be way to much, we set up way to many characters, it resolves unnecessary plot lines shoe hoarded into the movie by Agents of Shield. Chris Evans is better then ever as Captain America, he really sold me with this film. The rest of the cast does a great job doing there part. Falcon is under used in this movie, he actually does nothing and has 0 importance in this story. Another problem I have is to much CGI, theres CGI and action in this movie because there has to be. The final action scene dragged on because I didn't really care deeply about the story or characters. I wish there was more Winter Solider in a movie called Winter Solider. Also A disappointing score. I don't even remember any of it, yet Im here humming TASM 2's music already. It got a little to over the top for me. 2 moments stick out, when Cap goes all John McClane on the jet, and when Falcon jumps out the window into the Helicopter. Don't get me wrong its a fun movie with plenty of great moments and I love Captain America but is it anything special or memorable? No. People comparing this to TDK make me laugh, seriously? It reminds me of Iron Man 2, its to much a Shield movie and not enough Cap. The Avengers tie in sometimes backfires on the Marvel solo films.
