I saw this in Philly this week. Marvel continues to impress, this was way better than the original. I like how they tie them all together.

Finally got to see this last night. It didn't feel like a comic book movie. Just an action movie. I thought it was excellent and answered some questions from watching Agents of Shield.

The more I see Evans in these, the more I realize he was the perfect pick for CA.

Finally saw this tonight. I think I need to see it again to make a call on where it ranks. The showing was disrupted by a group of rowdy Irish travelers so I'm not sure I can judge.

It was definitely good, and I'm a huge fan of the first cap. I can say that I'm a little disappointed with how some of the action was shot. There was some amazing fight choreography going on but it was hard to see with the frantic wiggle cam.

I personally think that's what makes it so good. As somebody that grew up not really giving a shit about comics, I appreciate the fact that they're just making good, and I mean GOOD action movies since most action movies these days suck.

Kinda reminded me of G.I. JOE movie. It was okay imo.

Winter Soldier--The Winter Soldier is Cap's primary combatant in the second Captain America movie, and is played by Sebastian Stan. The Winter Soldier, as revealed at midpoint in the film, is really James Buchanan "Bucky" Barnes, Cap's childhood friend, who was believed to have died in the first Captain America movie. Roughly following the storyline of the now-classic "Winter Soldier" storyline, we see Bucky found by the bad guys and converted into a Soviet assassin who is cryogenically frozen for years at a time, only being revived to carry out assassinations. His mind is periodically wiped, thus not retaining any knowledge of his past as a hero or as Captain America's friend. In the comics, after overcoming his programming, Barnes returns to being a hero, even assuming the mantle of Captain America after the supposed death of Steve Rogers (the real Cap).

Winter Soldier was created by Created by Ed Brubaker & Steve Epting. and first appeared in Captain America #1 (2005). As Bucky Barnes, he first appeared in Captain America Comics #1 (1941), and was created by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby.

Alexander Pierce--Played by Robert Redford, Pierce is a top leader in the World Security Council, and had a hand in placing Nick Fury in charge of SHIELD. As revealed later in the film, Pierce is a member of HYDRA and is the man giving orders to the Winter Soldier and to Brock Rumlow. While there is a Marvel Comics character named Alexander Pierce associated with SHIELD, he is a good guy, and does not appear to be the same character played by Redford.

Baron Wolfgang von Strucker--At the conclusion of the new Cap film, in one of the two after-credit scenes, we see two evil-looking types walking around a secret base/laboratory talking about how HYDRA (which they are clearly a part of) is bigger than the relatively small part taken out by Captain America and company in the movie prior to the end-credit scene. The leader of this facility speaks with a German accent, and wears a monocle. In Marvel Comics, one of Nick Fury's and Captain America's main HYDRA foes is a Nazi war criminal named Baron Wolfgang von Strucker, leader of HYDRA. The HYDRA leader in this scene is clearly Strucker. As they walk through the facility, we see that he is in possession of the scepter used by Loki in the Avengers movie, and he is talking about subjects of various experiments that did not survive, and then he points out two who did survive, whom he refers to as "The Twins."

In the comics, Strucker's first appearance was in Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos #5 (1964). Strucker was a Nazi war criminal who appeared as a major foe of Nick Fury and Captain America in the comics.

Umm, ok.

Based on the decent sentence structure, lack of misspelling, and correct usage of capital letters and periods.....it would appear that lincolnboy has learned how to copy and paste.

My wife and I watched this the other day. We both thought it was fantastic. I wish they would have added some more back-story to his friend Bucky, but it was still awesome.
