It's crazy how I was never big on Cap, maybe just seemed to cheesy/hooky in live action, but damn I fell in love with Chris Evan's MCU Captain America, The First Avenger showing the birth of the legend all worked for me and then The Winter Soldier solidifying him as a complete badass.
Please, do tell.

Basically everything that comes after said Mandarin twist. If the fallback villain was at least decent, it would have been a good payoff. Killian and his extremis goons were pretty lame.

Although, after the Mandarin twist we get to see Tony break out and take on the thugs without his full armor. That was the last great scene of the film.
Its an okay movie.

It's a movie.
It's the only thing I've said about it. It's the only thing I'll ever say about it, because it's the only thing I CAN say about it.
Although, after reading Green Lantern: Secret Origins (which was used for the basis of the film) I'm wondering how they fucked up that badly.

There are better Marvel movies in the cinematic universe, but out of all of them, this is probably the one I adore the most. And one of the the few that let's the auteur shine through.
And yes, I'll say it. Red Skull is a much better villain than Loki is. Because sometimes you need a bad guy who is just irredeemably evil. It's just a shame that we're probably not gonna see him again, considering that Hugo Weaving wants to get out of sci fi/fantasy roles.

While I do admit that Iron Man 3 felt like it was held together with sticky back plastic and that some moments didn't make much sense to me, it was indeed a whole lot of fun. And Trevor Slattery was a laugh riot.
Because Kenneth Brannagh.
I think that if the core theme of your hero is "an ideal for people to strive towards" then Rogers is inherently better suited on account of being human. Though obviously there are takes on that theme that you can only do with someone that has more power than a human can dream of.
I'm so sick of really good casting being wasted on bad movies...Mark Strong isn't in Captain America. He was in another 2011 superhero origin movie.
lol no
Mark Strong was easily the best thing about it though
And I don't mean that in a sarcastic way. Strong as Sinestro was inspired casting that went compeltely to waste.

Agreed. I loved the film then and I still love it now. It might be the only Marvel film I've seen more than twice. I often hear people say the film is boring. Hopefully I never take film recommendations from those people.
Maybe if he had more scenes. Green Lantern should have been Training Day in space. Instead we got vomit space cloud and tumor-man.
He had jack all to do. Barely left an impression.

No lies detected. My brother caught the repeats a few times on cable and came away more impressed with each viewing. The street fight between Cap and WS is one of his new favorite fights. Nick Fury chase scene is the new hotness, too.
