I watched it on my flight last week. The sound kept fricking up but I didn't miss too much. I thought it was good as well. Not the best Marvel movie, but definitely close.

And agreed that the first one was pretty horrible.

Unlike the last one it was an actual captain America movie

The first one was reminiscent of Jack Kirby's and even some of Timely's comics tone of Captain America. It was very much a Cap film from 1960. Which was a perfect introduction to the character. You need that grounded, "all-america" appeal.

Winter Soldier was Ed Brubaker's version. Socially relevant themes, man out of time, all that good stuff. Take this movie's tone/feel and place it in the first film and I think you have something far weaker and very strange.

Both stand together to create a very good character in the MCU.

After I watched it, I was thinking "holy shite!" that was a great movie. Re-watched CA FA after & got a much better appreciation of original. Definitely want to add to my collection.
