Captain America: the Winter Soldier

[lurkerwithout]

This was pretty damn great.  Especially as a comics fan.  Non-cheesy versions of both Batroc AND non-human Arnim Zola.  Great hero spots for Fury, Black Widow and even Hill.  I love the chemistry between Cap and Falcon.  And Chris Evans just kills it.  Also I liked the real quick shout-out to Dr. Strange and the Pulp Fiction call-out toward the end.  Enjoyed the post-credit Greater Story scene with Von Strucker and the Maximoff twins.  Didn't stay for the second non-story building clip, which was apparantly the Winter Soldier visiting the Captain America exhibit at the Smithsonian...

Why didn't you stay for the second stinger? Seriously, WHO LEAVES before the end of a Marvel Studios movie?

(Also: My personal favourite Random Shout-Out was to Werewolf By Night, when they were picking targets)

People who are with people who don't really care enough to sit in the theater for another several minutes. Especially if they have to pee...
