saoneSo, I took a little time off from trying to write Blindfold prompts (btw, I'm so sorry to anyone who's left a comment I haven't responded to yet, I blame the porn ;P) to go into town today and see Captain America...
Oh my God, I LOVED it.

It wasn't perfect (but then what comic movie ever is?), but it was even better than I'd hoped it would be.
The CGI on pre-serum Steve was amazing - there was nary a bobblehead in sight - and CE did a wonderful job portraying both the non-super and super versions of him. In fact, I'd say the entire cast did a wonderful job. I really wish the movie had been about 10-15 minutes longer so we could have had more time with the Howling Commandos. And Hayley Atwell's scene where she's talking with Steve as he's piloting the plane into the arctic... uh, any moisture in my eyes was totally from allergies. Yeah, that's it.
I do wish they had drawn out Bucky's 'death' a little more. And, yes, I said 'death' because I have a feeling, judging by what happens in the comics, that we might not have seen the last of Sebastian Shaw being all slashy with Chris Evans - and can someone please get on writing some Steve/Bucky (or Steve/Stark) fic.
I also wish that we had seen a bit more of Steve's introduction to modern New York, though I did like how he was once again running through the streets in a tight white tee and khakis.
And then the after-the-credits snippet... Oh my, Avengers Assemble indeed. Can Not Wait. :D
