Trying to rewatch as many of the relevant movies as I can before seeing Civil War on wednesday.
First Avenger: I've only watched this movie once before and thought it was mediocre so I was surprised that I liked it quite a bit more the second time. Lot of good character moments and some solid action scenes. My problem is still the villain for the most part, Red Skull sucks and only has one decent moment with Cap shortly before the finale.
Winter Soldier: Holds up about as well as I expected it to. Still one of the best Marvel movies. They upgraded the shit out of Cap and while I liked his character before his abilities are finally up to par. Robert Redford makes for a decent villain, nothing too memorable but it's not really about him anyway, which is why it works better than in most other Marvel flicks. The pacing is great except for one scene which is also the biggest problem I have with this movie. The exposition dump with Zola still does not work for me, it feels completely out of place and brings everything to a grinding halt. I understand why it's there, I just think the execution is extremely poor. Luckily WS nails the final confrontation between Cap and Bucky, it's a bit corny but in a good way. Oh and Falcon is dope.
Don't know if I'll be able to make it through the Iron Man movies again in time but I'll try.
