    I'm just saying.....that I hope in the future these films can start relying on clever plot twists rather than rehashing Destruction Of Large Objects Ad Nauseum. They've all been great so far but I fear an emerging pattern.

    I would be OK with that. The Winter Soldier character was awesome. Moreso than Cap. there's no way that Captain America is good for more than one more movie + the avengers. He is not interesting enough. He's a cheesy, serious acting superhero that translates better to comics than to film, where people expect some humor.

    But the guy who played Human Torch played the Character as well as it could be played.

    I thought he was still pretty dang cool. Much better than any Iron Man villain they've thrown out. Those movies have been very good despite the villains. Mickey rourke with tentacles, Lebowski with robot suit, fake Mandarin, very stupid exploding fire guy... pretty lackluster set of bad guys.

    Cap 2 comes out on dvd in just over 2 weeks and I am pumped! You guys keep talking about Bay, and I agree he is good, but Christopher Nolan IMO is better as his movies' content are filled with more substance and less things blowing up. Movies like Inception, The DK Trilogy, and the upcoming Interstellar are great examples.

    No, you don't. I liked the first as well. The 2nd was pure crap. Only watch if it is free. It's not worth spending real money to see. I'd rather see cap 2 for the 2nd time or GoTG for the 4th time.

    Well I certainly hope it was sarcasm. It would be entertaining if you're still 8 years old.

    i didn't notice that until you brought it up.. i don't really think it's that big of a deal

    you can't look at these kind of movies as the pinnacle of storytelling though, regardless how the comics are
