The quote on Fury's tombstone was great. Unfortunately I felt like a fool for clapping when no one else in the theater did. Just another sign of me being old I guess.

You clapped for a quote? Or the film?

Cap was no ice when the movie came out. Kind of a silly argument. Like she couldn't have seen it on video or TV like many of us did (I was 2 the year the movie came out).

Westerns - the evil land baron gets his come-upance
Rom-Coms - The unlikely pair who hate each other will fall in love and the foil will get his come-upance
Sci-Fi - super dude or chick gives bad guy or creature his come-upance
Comedies - do something your not supposed to, hilarity ensues, foil gets come-upance


There I just saved you a ton of time. You can ignore these other genres as well.

By the way, don't waste your time on Apollo 13, they make it, or Titanic, they don't

Honestly, I'd put this movie more in an espionage/conspiracy genre than the superhero genre.

That's what's been so great about these Marvel movies, each of them are pretty much different genre movies from each other, which just happen to have superheros for their leads.

I liked it, but preferred the first one. Can't believe Scarlett was driving a corvette! Terrible.

I liked the time period of the first one.

I shall grade it 6/10

Was super disappointed with the final credit scene. Boring!

Also, indie movie-despondent guy who has an existential crisis meets and enchanting young woman and their sex life reinvigorates him to become a more active member of society. Still waiting on that one to happen to me .

Didnt Cap say he knew the reference? Im guessing it was on his list of new shit to experience.

So she's not allowed to reference something from before she was born? If the argument is that the movie is too obscure, keep in mind that she is an expert computer programmer, so it's not like it's off her radar. Weird thing to me is that Captain America had seen it. I don't think that would have been so high on his movie list, considering Rocky was unchecked.

As for Capt, amazing film certainly the best of the year so far and my second favorite Marvel film, only Iron Man (the first) beating it out.
3D did add some depth, but what I really liked was watching it in the IMAX 3D.

3D was OK, but the IMAX gave it a ton more clarity.

Neither is my argument. My argument is that I'm old as dirt.

The movie is called WarGames. With a title like that, why wouldn't Cap be interested in seeing it?

Jesus Christ. Captain America could have been flipping the channel one night, landed on TBS and ended up watching WarGames. It's not like it's hard to see movies.

very entertaining. i thought the fight scenes were just excellent. i preferred that they went with more traditional effects and stunts as opposed to total CGI. harkened back to action movies of old. a little long winded however and the villan(s) weren't as foreboding as i would like them to be. very solid though.

Which probably also means no Roadhouse reference is lost on him.

No need to get pissed about an off-handed comment.

I'm not pissed - I just can't believe there is any discussion about the order in which Captain America saw movies. Let's maybe not lean into the nerd stereotype quite so much.

Well, this is a movie forum.

Plus on other places people have been arguing about the order and contents of Cap's list in different markets, so I wouldn't worry too much about this one little thought throwing off the thread's equilibrium.

I just went to see The Winter Soldier again today (took my dad) and I actually liked it more the 2nd time than the first time (and I liked it a lot the first time).

It's definitely up there with my favorite Marvel movies.
