The fukk does that have to do with him being good in the movie or not? It's not an "all or nothing" mentality when it comes to this shyt breh. It's not "Well, if this isn't the best scene in the movie, then it's the worse" What type of backwards ass logic is that? You know a great scene with him in the movie? That final one with him and Gordon and Bruce while holding Gordon's son at gunpoint. That's a scene that practically crystalizes the movie and embodies everything its about from a thematic standpoint.

When he tells Gordon to lie to his son that it'll be okay:mjcry: love that movie. #1 in my book. TWS is the GOAT marvel movie though.

I think it's overrated. Some good action, but no tension. It just doesn't deliver a knock out blow.
no tension? What? With winter soldier? :what: do you remember the car chase with hydra, Bucky and fury? There was no tension when the elevator was filling up every stop with cap chillin? You didn't see it at the theater did you

it took some time for the dust to settle but i believe it may be. here's why.

all the other great superhero movies, while great, have huge gaping flaws.


superman the movie - campy lex luthor and the WOAT ending.

batman 89 - very shallow, not really a tight plot, not enough emphasis on bruce.

spiderman 2 - tobey maguire

iron man - movie turns to complete shyt in the 3rd act.

dark knight - boring outside of heath ledger.

avengers - boring 1st act, meddling 2nd act, ridiculous plot, evil hawkeye.


these are all HUGE stains on these movies that prevent them from being truly flawless and consistently great from top to bottom.

now tell me this, what's the WORST thing you can say about winter soldier? it drags for 10-15 minutes? it has a wonky subplot revolving around the winter soldier? that the black widow face disguise thingy was ridiculous? in the grand scheme of things these are very minor flaws because for the rest of the running time it is pretty much clicking on every cylinder. this is a very well written, very well directed, engaging, suspenseful, and action packed film that truly puts you in awe of its hero.

overall it's very hard to argue that this isn't the best movie in the genre out of the dc and marvel entries.

Watchmen shyts on all those movies.

It's a top 3 marvel film for sure.

I was actually so impressed with it i bought it after not liking the first movie.

A few other comicbook flicks i like more though
