Underwhelmed by the plot twists throughout. Half expected Robot Chicken's M Night Shyamalan to pop up after each one going "What a tweest!" The villains kind of fell short for me, which is a shame cause Captain feels incomplete as a character without an interesting villain to go against. And shaky cam fights continue to be my ultimate nemesis. JUST USE MULTIPLE CAMERAS; IT'S NOT LIKE YOU'RE SHORT ON MONEY.
It's unfortunate, too. I saw Iron Man 3 because I love Shane Black, and I'll probably see Guardians of the Galaxy because why the hell not see the silver screen's first NRA-loving raccoon. But Captain America 2 looked like the only movie I would like purely for the movie aspects of it. At this point the comic book movies are really just becoming a grind for me, especially with Marvel delivering comic book movies that are heavier on the comic book portion than they are on the movie portion. The only light in this tunnel for me is the new X-Men movie, because if you make a movie with Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart, Hugh Jackman, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, and Peter Dinklage, directed by Bryan Singer, it's physically impossible for that movie to be horrible.
