Better late than never.
After the Avengers on repeated viewings I felt Cap didn't really do much so I felt that he almost didn't belong among the others but this movie made me believe that not only is he worthy but now that he is my favorite Avenger; move over Tony Stark.
I heard a lot about the hype/praise this movie was getting and after seeing it twice it is well deserved.
Most of all I was really surprised that the themes this movie touched on, especially for a early summer blockbuster, even more surprising for a "Disney-Marvel" movie. When Zola stated that when you try to take away people's freedom, they resist and fight. But if you make it to where they give up their freedoms willingly, there will be no "resistance". Something I fell is very timely and seeing that in this movie won me over even more.
I felt the action was top notch for a Marvel movie, it was even more visceral than most other action movies IMO. From The car chases to Fury getting sniped in Steve's apartment, this movie did not let up at all.
Also loved the score from Henry Jackman. The winter soldier theme almost reminded me of Han Zimmer's and James Newton Howard's theme for the joker in TDK.
9/10

I avoided pretty much all threads, reviews and trailers.
Overall, I really liked the film.
Didn't like Redford simply because I knew instantly with him in the movie, he was going to be the bad guy. Not a huge problem, because he pretty much revealed that pretty quickly.
Knew Fury wasn't dead because a doctor injected him after they stopped resuscitating him. Wish they had clipped that scene.
Also since I read the comic 100 years ago I knew Bucky was the Winter Soldier. Wish I hadn't known that.
None of those are anything but slight niggles.
Oh, the 3-D sucked. Not sure if the 3-D was retro or if it was shot in 3-D but it was so minor as to not be worth the extra money. Spidey 3-D looked top notch but still have no interest in the reboot.
Wonder what the body count was in this movie? I know they tried to play it off that everyone on the ships was Hydra but that would be pretty hard to believe. Seems like there were probably a lot of friendly fire deaths.
GOG looked decent enough in the trailer. I noticed The Collector in the trailer.
What is the release schedule looking like for the next couple of years? Are they still going forward with a Strange movie. Strange was one of my favorite books but mysticism doesn't translate too good to the screen. Probably the reason the knuckleheads destroyed Mandarin.

Completely agree it's a great movie; however, I can't disagree more with your statement regarding Captain America's role in Avengers. He was a major character and was the acknowledged commander in New York.
