[QUOTE="Imaculata, post: 8200447, member: 6801286"] Captain America as a character is pretty boring. That is why his first movie is a bit of a dud for me. Plus Hydra laser-tanks during WWII kind of rub me the wrong way as a European. I appreciate that these are the comicbook origins of the character, and that they are staying true to that. But whenever Hydra shows up as a quasi-Nazi stand in, I groan a bit on the inside. And I really don't like adding fictional elements to WWII. However, I think it is fair to say that Captain America is only 50% in the Winter Soldier movie. The rest is Nicky Fury and Black Widow, who are so much more fun. And even Steve Rogers himself gets some much needed character development. It is honestly fun to watch him react and adapt to the modern world. Plus the movie itself has a very unique espionage vibe going for it. It is a very suspensful movie full of twists and turns. Civil War on the other hand is barely a Captain America movie at all. It is pretty much an Avengers type of ensemble movie. It could just as well be considered an Iron Movie, considering how central Tony Stark is to the plot. But I think you do need to see the Winter Soldier first, to fully appreciate Civil War. I saw Civil War in theaters, and I was most surprised that people in the audience were very divided in regards to the central conflict of the movie. Not everyone was on Captain America's side, myself included. I did not expect to be watching a Captain America movie, in which Steve Rogers is kind of a bad guy, depending on how you look at it.
