[QUOTE="tomBitonti, post: 6285772, member: 13107"] Lot's of spoilers, so let's just black it all out: [Spoiler] Plus: The main characters did well. There was a lot of chemistry between Cap'n, and Black Widow, and Falcon. Plus: The action sequences were well done. Cap'n busting through walls to reach the Winter Soldier, or taking out the VTOL jet. Falcon and Black Widow, and even Nick Fury, get good action scenes. Plus: Nuances from Black Widow, like when she is shot: She is dealing in a hard way with a lot of stuff that the Captain mostly shrugs off. Plus: The bits of humor are a nice touch, and are quite funny, despite the movie having a darker outlook on the whole. Plus: The reveal in the bunker. The reveal of the Winter Soldier, and that Nick Fury was not killed. Although, the Winter Soldier was spoiled by Previews, and Nick Fury surviving was very predictable. Minus: The Story is [i]not[/i] about the Winter Solder, or even about Captain America, it's about SHIELD being compromised, and is really a commentary about the modern surveillance state. Minus: The story felt like it would work better as a mini-series, with the Hydra reveal being the first half, and the fight to take down SHIELD being the second half. We are given teases that something is amiss at SHIELD,but nothing to indicate that it has been compromised by Hydra. The smaller story of Bucky fits nicely in the Captain America character development, but is too big to fit into the movie without detracting from the main story. Minus: Taking out the Carriers was absurdly easy. The vital spots were far too easily reached, and far too vulnerable. Minus: The whole "dumping the database to the internet" cliche. [/Spoiler] Thx!
