If Hayley Atwell dressed up in a Miss America costume that showed some cleavage it might have been rated higher. Also Cap didn't get to punch Hitler in the face.
If you sort of break down the movie into it's parts it seems like it has all the components to be quite good, but the sum of the parts didn't really work out that way. It ended up feeling relatively bland. All that said even the worst MCU movies are still decent/pretty good movies. The floor level on these has been incredibly high even IM2 isn't Spiderman3 or F4 bad.
Captain America 1 is a great movie, I don't know why people rate it low.
It's basically the same movie as Wonder Women but executed better throughout and a much better ending.
I distinctly remember that too, because I thought it was terrible and was mostly alone in my opinion. Much like the Tron reboot that, at the time, the forum loved.when thor 2 came out, the forum was mostly pretty positive about it. i distinctly remember everyone talking about it like it was a good space adventure.
thats from thisAfter Infinity War, I realized how much Chris Evans really did an amazing job capturing the essence of Captain America. I was never a huge fan of The First Avenger, but I loved Winter Soldier and Civil War. It wasn't until Infinity War though that I realized how ingrained Chris Evans is to the Captain persona though..and the fact that he has actual depth of character. If the spoilers are true:
and Cap does sacrifice himself, it will be sad as hell.
Whats especially telling is you can have watched thor1 (which my wife did, cuz she was on a plane), then watched avengers1/2, and just watch Thor3 and be like, ok and miss NOTHING.Compared to Ironman 1, CA 1 was trash. Compared to Black Panther or Thor 2, it's solidly middle of the road. When I walked out of Thor 2 and Black Panther I honestly felt like I had wasted my time, and both are literally inconsequential to the over all story (I mean, IM2 and IM3 are, too, but for whatever reason was less annoyed by those). I liked Incredible Hulk if only because Hulk got to do Hulk shit.
Winter Soldier is one of the most solid movies, as it feels the most grounded. Like watching a finely polished old school action movie.
