Captain America is my least favorite
I think Captain America was the one with the most wasted potencial, the first half was amazing, now the second was very weak. I think it had to do with trying to show Cap's entire life in WWII, and Red Skull being painfully generic. I didn't read many comics with him but from what i see he could have been much more interestingCaptain America is my least favorite
I'm glad they decided to get through Cap's WWII life in one movie, tbh. Not just for the obvious Avengers set-up reason, but because his most interesting stories are set in the present, and his origin, while obviously hugely essential, is also just kind of that thing you have to get out of the way before you get to the good stuff, imo. Not that I don't love WWII Cap adventures, but in the comics I like them best when used as flashbacks to inform what's happening in the present.I think Captain America was the one with the most wasted potencial, the first half was amazing, now the second was very weak.

Is the X-Men series off topic? Cuz I really felt that the 2013 The Wolverine movie was the worst of all. I mean really.

I have no idea how anyone can think Captain America is weak. It's in my top 10 comic book movies of all time.

It's one of my favorites as well, but the movie had its flaws. The pedestrian portrayal of Red skull and the hokey missions are what hurt the film more than anything else, but I do think that the attention to character depth was enough to overcomes that. For as much as I enjoyed it, TFA was far from perfect.
Agreed. Not sure where all this anti-CA:TFA sentiment comes from. An excellently acted and really well constructed film overall. Among the Marvel Studios films, it's only behind The Avengers and Iron Man for me. And I REALLY liked both the Phase 2 films we've gotten thus far.I have no idea how anyone can think Captain America is weak. It's in my top 10 comic book movies of all time.
I think as a character study, it's one of the most wildly successful comic book movies of all time. You truly come out of there with a full understanding of Steve Rogers, and who he is.
I couldn't agree more, and it's a travesty that so many people trivialize this aspect of the film, especially with all of the pseudo-intellectual babble that gets tossed about regarding TDK and others. One would think that people with an appreciation for the nuance and subtlety in one set of films would recognize those same qualities here, but apparently not.
All I'm saying is that for as good as it was, and for everything it did right, it did make some crucial mistakes that, at the very least, should be acknowledged, if for no other reason than the hope that they won't happen in the future.
It would be nice if the Divine Order of MoS could realize this as well.
