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. |
Yeah, it's nothing astonishing, it's not close to Winter Soldier levels, but it stablish the Cap America character pretty well and Hydra. It's fine for a first Cap film as it is. There's not too much to say in plot terms, since it's really hollow. But pretty great character work.
