Welcome back all y'all movie lovers!
It's been a good long while since I wrote a review for all you lovely peoples. After a few weeks of relative Boredom I figure I'd see the next big Blockbuster, Captain America 2!
As with any other Marvel universe film I have to warn of many spoilers below, I'll try to keep them to the end, but they're still going to be there.
Pros:
Just like any other Marvel film this is top notch. from the very beginning the movie is exceptionally well made. the characters are well defined and the action is bone crunching and awesome.
I've never been a huge Captain america Fan but after this one he actually seems like a pretty well conceived hero. He's strong, fast and smart. Maybe he can't fly like iron man or thor, and maybe Stark's smarter than him, but in a fair one on one duel he can probably take Stark out easily. Captain is a very good leader character.
I enjoyed Black widow returning in this one, she's a good secondary figure and good at keeping the story and action flowing. not to mention it's Scarlett Johanson
I actually really liked Falcon, I was a little worried about him, I mean, he's the random movie one off most likely. like Killian or Hawkeye, I don't really expect to see him again, even though he could be a damn cool character moving forward.
The winter soldier was cool, i liked the fact that he's a smart Grunt. Most minions are just big tough guys with fighting skills. this guy at least has the added bonus of intelligence. I like him in hand to hand combat because he always seems to be calculating his next move.
And nick Fury is Nick fury, and Badass as always.
The action was pretty good, I liked the kinetic fighting and use of the shield as a weapon. It made for some really cool moments.
Cons:
The story itself felt somewhat repeated. big secretive agency is infiltrated by other secret agency. then they try to destroy the world.
Like I said, seen it. But overall it felt fresh because of the scope f the movie.
Final Notes:
I enjoyed the film immensely, and am really looking forward to Avengers 2 now.
Wait....Guardians of the galaxy is next? Well, awesome!
FINAL VERDICT: 85
Great action and fun characters, but pretty average story
Now off to find something to do. maybe some prop work perhaps!

- SPOILER SECTION -
I was a little disappointed by Nick fury Dying then coming back. It's been done with Coulson, and Loki. I mean, yeah it served story purpose but it still felt unneeded.
I really liked the post credit scene. It's really nice that they're starting to set up for Avengers 2. and Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch could be very fun broken characters.
I also like the Idea that Winter Soldier might come back as a recurring anti hero type character. not sure what the plan for him is, but it could make a great plot moving forward
I also Loved the Stephen Strange reference, and the various avenger shoutouts during the 'Targeting' scene.

Scarlet Witch IS essentially GOD-TIER BROKEN. She pretty much warps the fabric of space and time on a whim, and can literally reset scenarios at any given moment. Granted, powers such as that serve no purpose in gaming (minus the Marvel D&D setup,) thus she's fairly useless when it comes to her as a playable mutant in any game.
