great movie; it's imo, the best overall offering MCU has given us. My god those action sequences were impressive. "The Avengers" really only had the one giant sequence in NY that really impressed me, and even that was much too short, imo. This movie had several...
the "clearing the deck" scene.
the part where Cap took down that SHIELD plane.
Fury's chase scene.
Cap vs Bucky (the first one), and the entire sequence that lead up to it.
The choreographer on this needs a round of applause. Speaking of applause, my theater actually gave one when
Spoiler:
Widow revealed herself after taking down Pierce. I was so enthralled with the movie that i didn't initially suspect that it was Widow in disguise. Instead immediately thought that the older lady she was imp impersonating was MCU's version of Yelena
. I was ready to give the movie credit for being super creative with with their universe, that's how much i was into it.
I thought Falcon was well done, though at times i felt like his landing and hovering could have been executed better. His maneuvering in combat was exceptional though. I enjoyed the comradery between Sam and Cap too, i wanna see more of that in the future, it seems like a great budding relationship on par with Tony and Rhodey.
My only (very small) complaint was that we didn't get quite enough Winter Soldier, i would have liked to see one instance of him wrecking shit that didn't involve Cap... just a small side mission showing skills, similar to Cap's first seen with Baltroc. I also would have liked to have seen the mission Cap went on get Sam's wings.
the movie was 2 hours and change, but it didn't feel like it at all, so i wouldn't have minded the extra time. You know a movie is good when it has a lengthy runtime but feels like it wasn't long enough.
9/10.
great movie! I'll see it again in theater... maybe even at full price.
