This is, hands down, the best Marvel movie since the Avengers came out. It's wildly entertaining in it's popcorn movie way, just like the Avengers was. If all popcorn movies were like this I'd enjoy them a lot more and look forward to seeing them more, sadly enough, this is not the case.
The story line was good and the movie focused on the characters over everything else going on, even as they introduced new characters. Even the large action set pieces were built around the story not the other way around like they seem to be in other movies. This time around Captain America had a lot more invested in the storyline and it made investing in his character easier. Everything in the movie was paced at a speed that was not overbearing (like a Michael Bay movie) but flowed with a grace that was refreshing to see. Another thing I liked about the movie was that the dialogue/drama scenes were plenty and they were interesting and didn't feel forced. The actors actually got to act and really seemed to enjoy their characters. The introduction of the Falcon was done with some great slight of the hand that avoided a whole origin story but still allowed his character plenty of room to breath as I got to know him. The action scenes were large and over expanding on the big scene but I've got to admit as wild, crazy, and explosion filled as they were I really enjoyed watching the characters and story unfold on the screen more than the action scenes, and that's a good thing.
I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of the Marvel movies as they expand on the cinema Marvel universe.
