As a big Captain America fanboy- lifelong, baby!-, I never thought that I would see a good Captain America film. After all, there are shit ones from the past. So, after one great one- Captain America: The First Avenger-, I was worried that I would never get another.
I was wrong. Thank Galactus, I was wrong!
* They got Robert Redford. Nobody is still quite sure how they pulled that off.
* This film *gets* Captain America. Plain and simple. Kudos, Chris Evans.
* As controversial as the Winter Soldier storyline can be ('Wait- Bucky is alive now,' they said), they handle it well. They leave many details out for a future Film though.
* Batroc! Dig it!
* Abed! To be more accurate, the Actor that plays him as a Cameo in the Film. Nice!
* The Action is great. They make Cap, Falcon, Black Widow, The Winter Soldier and Nick Fury look great.
* Depending on your point-of-view, the Story can be either too schmaltzy or political. It wasn't for me, but to each his own.
* I personally prefer to see more of the Classic suit, but the Plot did set-up/explain its absence. I should get plenty in Avengers: The Age of Ultron.
That's it, really. I loved the movie.
Go see it.
Now.
Do it already.

The Good
* Like all of the recent Marvel films, this one has a unique feel. It is a deep, Political Thriller and a Conspiracy film. * They got Robert Redford. Nobody is still quite sure how they pulled that off.
* This film *gets* Captain America. Plain and simple. Kudos, Chris Evans.
* As controversial as the Winter Soldier storyline can be ('Wait- Bucky is alive now,' they said), they handle it well. They leave many details out for a future Film though.
* Batroc! Dig it!
* Abed! To be more accurate, the Actor that plays him as a Cameo in the Film. Nice!
* The Action is great. They make Cap, Falcon, Black Widow, The Winter Soldier and Nick Fury look great.
The Bad
* To be fair, the Camerawork during the Action is a bit frenetic. It reminds me a bit of Batman Begins in the way.* Depending on your point-of-view, the Story can be either too schmaltzy or political. It wasn't for me, but to each his own.
