I really enjoyed this. I wasn't blown out of the water, I think it might have been overhyped to me a bit. It's an 8/10. Iron Man 3 was just as good imho. Avengers was significantly better to me. I am horribly biased though. As a Cap fan, I felt this movie was 'owed' to me, so when he did certain stuff, I was like 'yeah, as it should be.'
I do agree it was overhyped, but it was still a very, very good film, and Iron Man 3 does not come anywhere close. TWS had a much more intricate and suspenseful plot, and by far a more interesting villain(s).
Anyway:
Loved the political aspect brought into play in this movie, reminding me a little of Mark Millar's Ultimates. The hand to hand combat was very well done, if not a little overused. And most important, we finally get to really see Cap go full badass! CA:TFA and The Avengers didn't showcase enough his peak human physicality and dexterity in combat. Well, here we finally got it! Cap taking out that SHIELD jet/plane/(whatever you call it) single handedly was awesome!
My only gripes were 1. the final act was probably a little drawn out and 2. they went a bit overboard with all the explosions and Helicarriers crashing into everything in the conclusion of the climax.
In my opinion this is hands down the best film from Marvel Studios since Iron Man 1.
