Nobodys acknowledging how freakin badass Sam Jackson was in that car chase. That was awesome.
the car chase was cool yes :3
Poor Iron Man spent the entire climactic battle at a party for the bad guy's six year old. "Mingling".
And everyone seems to have forgotten Hawkeye completely.
No, I'm pretty sure Skyblade means that everyone completely forgot to mention Hawkeye, even in-universe.
Movie ruled btw. Strong contender for best MCU film to date, and yes, that includes The Avengers and Iron Man. If it's not the unequivocal best those are definitely the top three.
Maybe the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe is really just Abed in the Dreamatorium
Cap, Widow, and Falc had some great chemistry on screen. I too was also wondering where Hawkeye was in all of this.

I was pleasantly surprised by how much the likes of Black Widow and Nick Fury were in this. They fit the tone well. I loved this movie and the first for feeling different than other superhero movies. It was like Jason Bourne if he had Buffy powers to help him every now and then. I was also waiting for a Hawkeye mention though. All he got was Black Widow wearing a referential necklace. Jewelry, hoo boy! Maybe he was busy with something in The Avengers 2.
Cloak, Dagger, Power Pack. Man, I would love to see a movie with these guys. But it isn't going to happen. Even though Cloak and Dagger would fit perfectly with the tone of most of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, they would probably fit better with the X-Men than with the Avengers. Power Pack would, unfortunately, require having four reliable child actors, and is simply never going to happen. Which sucks, because the Snarks are one of the most awesome villainous empires in comic books.
I thought I read somewhere that Marvel acquired the rights to the Fantastic Four. Seeing them with 20th Century Fox still saddens me.
This sequel was great and a lot better than the original. Definitely the best Marvel sequel, but I still think the original Iron Man, Thor, and Avengers were better.
The action scenes were excellent, particularly the use of Cap's shield. It really came across as an extension of his body which is what I would expect from the greatest soldier to ever live.
Some of the villains and plot twists were a little campy and predictable, but The Winter Soldier as a villain was pretty cool and I hope he shows up later.
(SPOILER)The Hydra/SHIELD connection was one thing I didn't see coming but afterwards it made sense and was actually pretty topical for today's world.
