The part where he is scaling the staircase/walkway.

Yeah, he did something similar in the Avengers, but nothing Jackie Chan couldn't have done in his heyday.

Yeah. That is exactly the scene I was talking about.

I'm not saying Cap. can't do stuff like that. He is a master combatant and has agility. But I always kind of pictured his movements to be more elegant. I think he based his fighting style on Judo, at least originally.

That scurrying up the fence/railings/platform looked more like maybe the orcs from Moria in Fellowship of the Rings. Or maybe, as I said, Spiderman would move like that. Or, of course, Batroc the leaper.

Just a nitpick really. Won't detract from my enjoyment of the movie.

I think I read where Evans trained in BJJ, parkour, and krav maga among other things to give his fighting style a more modern look. The justification was that Cap wouldn't want to be succeptible to more modern styles so he would train to adapt.

The wall scurrying thing would fall under parkour I guess.
