This was completely expected.
The Cap movies have been some of the best MCU has put out. And now that I think about it, most of them aren't that great with the exception of:

Guardians
Ant-Man (this one's mixed with fans)
Avengers (the first, Ultron was awful)
Captain America 1, 2

All others have been relatively mediocre in my opinion.

 

Hated the first cap. The worst marvel movie by far imo. Agreed with the rest.

When that film came out, I was singing its praises on this very site, with a couple of things I didn't like (Bucky's cheap death as if we cared about him, Tommy Lee Jones being pretty much the only commanding officer in the military, light hearted handling of a very serious subject).

I tried watching it again with a friend, recently. It really didn't hold up for me. I couldn't understand why people didn't like it at the time but on its own, it's a pretty hollow film now. Especially the final showdown with Red Skull.
