This movie is one of those rare awesome sequels. It's really good. The plot, the fight sequence, character development, everybody gets screen time, the movie is perfect!
A trick : you can watch movies at KaldroStream. Been using it for watching a lot of movies lately.
@Jesse Duncan yup, I have been watching on KaldroStream for since december myself :D
Don't forget Libolongo
Avengers Hulk is NOT a reboot of the character. He is played by new actor and they changed his design but in terms of story its the same Hulk. They even reference the events of The Incredible Hulk in Avengers
I think I like Ruffalo better. I do like the actual hulk from the 'Incredible hulk' but Norton never really gave me that genius scientist feel when playing Bruce Banner and I think Norton did a great job displaying Bruce Banner as a scientist and intellect.

And the line "Last time I was in New York I kinda broke.... Harlem"
GT8191ms lol... that is one of my favorite quotes... I am a Ruffalo Hulk fan myself...
This movie was spectacular. By no exaggeration, I believe this is the best Marvel studio to date. What really got me was the emotional moments and intense action. It uses just enough cgi in a way that isn't over indulgent. (cough* cough* MoS)
A must see for avid movie goers as well as comic book fans. If Marvel continues with this level of quality they'll dominate the box office for years to come.
5 years later... It's still the best MCU movie
@@MotorCityPhoenix313 well, the best standalone. infinity war and endgame can't really be judged in the same ballpark.
Greetings from the year 2019!
You’re still correct! They’re almost all right up there now, but this is still the gold standard.
@@MotorCityPhoenix313 7 years later......still is!
I think they did a really good job making Captain America useful in The Avengers. He clearly had a role as a commander on the battlefield. Even Black Widow was being really well utilized as a sort of intelligence extractor. Only one that didn't really get a spot was Hawkeye.
Can't wait to see this! Still waiting for Samuel L Jackson to say "I am sick and tired of these motherfucking agents, on this motherfucking shield base!"
😂😂😂
Deleted scene....lol
Am I the only one who liked Captain America 1 more than Thor 1? Like Grace said Captain America as a character is pretty boring. The first movie really surprised me how they got me to buy into Cap even without his powers.I thought it did really well making me care about a hero I initially didn't even think about.
I don't know if I liked it better but I liked it a lot. I just rewatched it last night and I liked it even more the second time.
No
I've never gotten the argument that Cap doesn't add much to the Avengers because of his skills. Couldn't you argue the same about Batman
The Winter Soldier felt like it was half a really good SHIELD movie and half really good Captain America movie. Early on I was thinking, "I want to see more of these SHIELD focused movies," but by the end I wanted more Captain America movies. The political thriller and espionage aspects were as good as the comic book action scenes, and featured a lot things I enjoy in both areas.
I loved how all of the different ways Capt used his shield. Figured Falcon would be just a special effects showcase, but I ended up liking everything about the character. ScarJo's Black Widow performance convinced me that a solo film that focused heavily on espionage theme could work. Now, I'm just hoping Lucy doesn't ruin that for her. Winter Soldier's arm is going to make any metal armed enemies in the future look like lower quality ripoffs. Its design was perfect and it sounded great.
Sidenote: I left thinking if this movie was a TV show, Winter Soldier would definitely end up with a bunch of those photo galleries on tumblr. He fits the bill perfectly.
Hi ***** . I totally agree. YES, clearly this is a "Cap" movie, but let's face it, in this universe you can no longer do just a "stand alone" movie. The universe is too big. There's no way to go it alone any more and I'm happy about that.
Like you, I wanted a larger ensemble movie with more SHIELD in it. Well, we got what we were looking for and DAMN did they give me what I wanted. Beyond The Trailer
Daniel Holliday I would have to say the opposite. The Marvel universe is getting too big but the actual planet Earth is feeling kind of small. When each of these heroes live on the same planet and have a movie that threatens the safety of the entire planet, you have to ask yourself "where was Tony Stark during this?" or "How come the Hulk didn't make an appearance here?" or "Why isn't this going to be part of Jane Foster's dialog in the next movie? Did she get to see all of this unfold too?"
***** Oh. I agree. One of my three quibbles with this movie is that War Machine, Hulk and Iron Man needed to be explained away. Each could have. Easily.
"Hulk was sent off world with Thor" -- reasonable.
"Stark was in surgery or recovering." -- also reasonable.
"War Machine was on a US mission securing nukes in XYZ place." -- clearly plausible. Plus, even if he found out and were in -- say -- Afghanistan, his flight suit would have only gotten him halfway home by the time the shit really hit the fan in Winter Soldier.
These details could have been peppered in the story. But we were left to just assume. And that annoyed me.
Daniel Holliday
Agreed, it's just getting too crowded for superheroes and you would think that these Avengers would at least drop a name and say "dammit, Romanov, where's Stark?" "He's on the moon right now!" I cannot imagine they didn't at least exchange cell numbers or something.
Who knows, I guess we'll see in the next Avengers movie how they remember to get each others' contact info this time. Did you catch the Easter Egg of the "Avengers Tower" being targeted by the Helicarrier in CA:The Winter Soldier?
***** No. I didn't catch that. I'm from Cleveland, Ohio -- where the movie was shot -- and I was focused on finding local landmarks in the street battles, the mall scene and in a few others!
I did catch the Steve Strange reference and thought I was super-cool, but apparently I'm not as cool as I thought since everybody else caught that!
What is the "Avengers Tower"?
I was surprised how good the movie was! The action was excellent and I think I liked it more than Iron Man 3 and Thor 2!
I despise Iron Man 3, for reasons that go beyond the twist.
SPOILERS
speaking of easter eggs, that pulp fiction reference on Nick fury's tombstone was beautiful.
Iron Man 1 was an awesome movie. Iron Man 2 and 3...not so much. Huge let downs. Definitely not worth watching again.
So true
I was unsure about IM3 at first, although by no means would I have called it a let down.. But after watching it again, I actually dug the hell out of it.
I've seen Iron Man 1 more times than 2,3 combined.
IM2 I agree. IM3 I liked it. A good movie in itself.
I'm glad i sticked to Agents of Shield actually because there is a great deal that leads up to Captain America 2, mainly Sitwell's character, i'm wondering how it will affect the show, because they also did a lot of "what happened after Thor" episodes.
I love your style of movie review. I just feel that you are really talking to the fans and I really do enjoy it. Keep up the great work Grace. :)
I'm sick of grace banging on about superpowers. Have you noticed that the first thing she always seems to talk about is heroes power set. She openly admits that her main draw to X-men is the range of powers, rather than the fact that the first 2 and most recent 2 are both touching on serious social and cultural issues or are great character studies.
Incredible Hulk Does Count, he has been recast but all of the events in incredible Hulk are acknowledged to be.
The whole idea of watching a movie with 'painful to nose' 3D glasses is horrible. And it gets dark and you can't really focus on desired locations on screen. 3D s*cks ass.
I love that this movie appears to be a political thriller, instead of just another smash'em up superhero. I think one of the problems with some of these movies is that there is no earthly villain capable of harming some of these heroes, so movies had to turn to ETs. I think this is why Batman does so well; he's not fighting aliens to save the world, just local thugs to save his city. This Captain appears to have this same idea and I applaud it, and will go see it!
Grace Incredible Hulk does count, the events of the film were referenced in Avengers by banner himself, it just and actor change.
it same as rhodey changing actor
i think you said you don't watch AOS but the most recent episode setup why agent sitwel was on the ship in the beginning
Hello Grace, I am a long time viewer. I tune into the show daily and I even managed to get my wife (who is not a comic book, superhero, sci-fi, or fantasy person) to watch the show with me. Thank you Grace for taking the time to do a general review and a spoiler review. I haven't seen the movie yet but I definitely will now. I appreciate all the work you do.
Thor def needs to be more fantasy Grace Randolph but do you think they held back until Guardians was able to lift off? Then you can use Thor, Guardians and maybe Dr Strange to open the fantasy genre within Marvel?
I saw it in 3D, wasn't really necessary, the 3D doesn't do anything exclusive in this movie, watch it in 2D, you still gonna have a good time watching it
Hulk was not rebooted Grace he was recast. There's a difference. Norton & Ruffalo are playing the same Hulk. Can't wait to see this.
Looking back on this review after Batman v Superman, ARE U FUKING KIDDING ME..... All those things she talked about in the first half of this video is there in BvS movie. But she doesn't complain about any of them. This girl is sooooo biased......
agreed she was fired from marvel so that explains it
+Johnny blackhawk Exactly. She's really gone over the edge to the point of being a parody of salty reviewers.
In Avengers they show news reels of a memorial wall for the people who died in New York... Did no one see that?
Nope...
Yeah they show a montage or news and even a congress man saying " theses avengers need to answer for the damage done to New York" and a memorial wall with notes written by people mourning.
I have recently watched every MCU movie recently and personally thought Iron Man in 2008 was the best to date until I saw this movie and now feel this takes the top spot with Iron Man being #2 and Ant Man is my #3 believe it or not.
The 3D only came in use in the climax of the film when they are trying to stop the helicarriers.
The incredible hulk wasnt a reboot they just changed the actor similar to the change of rhodey from iron man. Marvel still refrence events of the film in the avengers such as last time i was in harlem , bruce trying to shoot himself ect
Grace was like a weather channel reporter. 😂😂😂
Agree! :) And the more i think of it, the more I find it very light on flaws, and the more i have to admit it's better than the Avengers, which is supposed to be the reference (it'd be on par without the so-so ending).
And let's be honest, the best thing to Thor is Loki!
YAY!!! You loved it too!! I am just STUNNED that I have gotten this invested in Captain America of all heroes! Only goes to show that all you need is good character knowledge and development and you can turn anyone into a blockbuster (and vice versa...).
Those actions sequences were really edge-of-your-seat-awesome. And Mackie did a phenomenal job with Falcon (Falcon!!). o_O
I almost squeeled out loud when I realised they included Batroc the Leaper of all people - I just... stop, I can't take this anymore!
Just saw this movie & I have to admit as a DC fanboy & Batman lover, Batman Vs Superman has some heavy competition in 2016, this movie was great
iron man 3 was boring
And the chick playing pepper potts is off-putting.
yeah i agree
Galaxys how so
GRACE! I solved the problem with people interrupting the theater experience! What would you say to every seat in the theater having a Audio Jack where if a person chooses they can bring their own personal headphone to block out the background noise? This way you'll have a personal experience with the movie.
watched this last night, I'm glad Marvel Disney took the criticisms of people like me who thought their previous movies were over-riddled with comedy.
Top marvel film in my opinion:
1-iron man
2-the avengers
3-captain america 2
4-x men first class
I cant think of anything thats really really good, but these r my highlight of anyone else has any more films tell me
I just saw Cap 2 and I was blown away. The 2 end credit scenes where pretty great too. much more necessary than the other phase 2 end scenes.
This movie was ssooooooooooooo freaking good. Best solo film to date. Maybe better than the Avengers. I need to watch it again before being sure
I really enjoyed the film. Regarding the 3D, I saw it in 3D and while I agree It's not necessary to see it in 3D, it does add to the enjoyment of many of the action scenes. In particular the scenes with Falcon flying or on the Helicarrier. It gave a real sense of being high in the sky and added a sense of danger.
I am about to watch it right now with my grandpa lol. I was planing on seeing the Grand Budapest Hotel, but my gramps wants to see something that will keep him awake.
The Winter Soldier is a PHANTASTIC movie! Problem with Marvel movies today I think is that they are all great movies so you are getting used to the quality of them all and so is your expectation always thinking that the next one has to outdo the previous one! In short, we are getting so spoiled at the moment that one day in time we will look back with nostalgia to this time and admit that they have become classics each and every one!
Thanks Grace for clarifying 2D, 3D and IMAX. I will go see it in 2D as well.
I don't think I will be able to watch this before it comes out on DVD. Can anyone tell me, without spoilers if possible, if I should stop watching Agents of SHIELD until I watch this?
Yeah, don't watch aos this coming week until you watched it. This movie flipped the mcu upside down.
Great review, it ticked so many boxes as far as questions about whether this film is worth the time, because I was going to see this one way or the other but it's nice to know I'll enjoy myself.
I think Grace is right about Thor, it's the only one of these "phase 2" movies I didn't go or really care if I saw, because I just wasn't impressed with the storytelling of the first movie. I couldn't care less about Thor and Jane's relationship. These Asgardian realms offer adventures similar to Lord of Rings, but instead we get stories with horrible plot holes, unnecessary romantic entanglements, and villains that never quite measure up to Thor.
I will say that while I've enjoyed the Iron Man movies none of the sequels were as good as the first, largely because the villains weren't as impressive as the hero. Also, the facts of Mandarin were a MAJOR let down and that as Grace says the absence of the other Avengers or SHIELD doesn't really make much sense given the nature and scale of both conflicts.
I watched it last night at 9 (on a school night, so worth it) and I really want to watch it again in theaters. With Thor 2, I left the theater unsure about how I felt about the movie, but I was absolutely certain that this one was awesome to the highest degree. This might've just cracked my top 5 favorite movies. So many little nerdy references (though oddly enough I never realized that Crossbones and Batroc were actually Crossbones and Batroc and not just random thugs.) and so many emotional scenes. Wow.
Liked it way more than Iron Man 3! Skip the 3D not a waste, but not necessary.
The Hulk has not been "rebooted" with Mark Ruffalo. He replaced Edward Norton but that Hulk film still counts as part of the MCU. Robert Downy Jr. appears in the post credits scene and the film is included in the Phase 1 box set.
I saw "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" twice, the first time in 2D and the second time in 3D. And you're right, 3D doesn't add anything new to the experience (it's awesome either way) but there are some moments that look really incredible (like the scene where the S.H.I.E.L.D. Insight helicarrier crashes into the Triskalion, and the pieces of it are raining down).
All I want to know is, is it better than Iron Man 1? If so then it is the best Marvel Film outside of The Avengers.
Oh you think you are the last the see the movie?! I am from Nepal and I was to see the movie today but, like so many movies it seems, it's released has been pushed back here to April 18. April freaking 18 :/
Wow that sucks! I sympathize - stay strong! And I hope you can avoid spoilers...
- Grace
I really liked Thor: The Dark World. It had just the right balance of sci-fi and fantasy. If it was straight-up fantasy, it would have felt like a public domain version of Thor that any studio could do.
Captain America is not boring, he's an inspiration, the fact that he's pulled from a different time aka "The Man Out of Time" is great! So many young people complain today about how they wish they lived in a simpler time and here you have a character that comes from that time and can hold that dialogue about what the world has become, are we better off, etc... not to mention, he's a War hero and not just any war, World War 2, he's a living legend and i'm glad the movie acknowledges what he means to the American public with the museum exhibit, boring... far from it
Saw cap in 3D, it had the smallest of effects and you could easily see it in 2D without missing out on anything
Am I the only one who thought Thor 2 was one of the best Marvel movies so far?
I havent seen Cap 2 yet though, Ill check it out tomorrow ;)
Thor 2 was good because you found out more of the Marvel Universe...
Plus the action and comedy was amazing :P
DabIMON Yeah, something new, something not copied from previous films...
DabIMON I have seen Cap 2, gave it 4/5......Thor 2 I also gave 4/5....
Awesome review Grace! Patiently waiting for you spoiler review!
Rendering now! :)
- Grace
You're the best! :)
Is Avengers Hulk a rebbot? I thought Incredible Hulk was cannon.
For where coulson was in captain america , if you follow the timeline and you have been watching Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D Coulson is now in deep trouble within his team and sheild , Latest episode of A.O.S showed that Shield was corrupted from the inside and that he was trying to contact Fury .but got denied because Fury was of the radar for reasons that are shown in Captain America Winter soldier . i dont beleive Coulson is out of the Movies because there was an other agents of shield that is both playing in A.O.S and Capt 2 so hes gonna be back for sure.
Tremendous film. And I disagree with the reviewer about the Captain America character. In a world of anti-heroes, gray shades and brooding nihilists, Steve Rogers is steadfast, pure and noble. There's not a question where he stands, or what he stands for. He ALWAYS does the right thing, and that's the canvas he's painted on. That he is NOT "superhuman" is what makes him, IMHO the greatest superhero. This movie underscores this perfectly, as Rogers, the one principled man out of time, beyond corruption, beyond reproach, saves the modern world from itself.
This movie really makes me want to pick up the new Winter Soldier limited series when it comes out in trade alongside the new Black Widow series, both of which are strongly spy-political thriller series with Winter Soldier having incredibly striking visuals reminiscent of Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law or Austin Powers and the 60's style spy comics novels that inspired the pulp intrigue trend of the era. Definitely worth checking out if folks are looking for something different to add to their pull lists.
Yes! It delivered! Thank god. After Thor: The Dark World and Iron Man 3 I thought they had lost it, but Cap saved the day. This makes me all the more excited for this movie, and all the movies following aka GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY
I was lucky enough to watch Captain America a week early (and 2 weeks early in comparison to America), and was extraordinarily good. The 3D wasn't exactly great, but it had some superb performances, brilliant visuals and direction which is excellent for a duo who have only really worked in comedy films.
This movie was phenomenal. It's depth, nuance, emotion and intelligence surprised me. They hit all the marks spot on. And of course make sure you sit through the credits for the usual Marvel teaser.
Grace, I feel that you don't need to see The Winter Soldier in 3D as it doesn't really add or detract from the film. I hardly noticed the 3D when I saw it. But it is an amazing movie and lived up to all my expectations.
I loved Thor 2 (Dark World) i liked it more than any other Marvel movie other than Avengers and *maybe* Iron Man 1. (And Blade of course). I understand that you didnt like it Grace, but could you please stop dropping the elbow on Thor 2 please? I thought it was a great film. I loved every minute of it. I respect a firm review thats from the heart, but ongoing promotion of Thor 2 as a massive mis-step just doesnt match up with the actual success of the film. Nonetheless, cheers! Great review as always, and I look forward to your spoiler review! :)
Majority liked Thor 2 Grace keeps acting like her opinions are facts. Thor 2 had major problems but overall a good movie.
I've seen it in 2-D and IMAX 3-D and they both are great experiences. 3-D was a lot of fun.
Saw it a week ago in 3D and found it to be distracting in a bad way. Will be seeing it again today in 2D
The 3D was REALLY lacking. the Trailer for Amazing Spider-man 2 had ALOT more depth for 3D. But at least you get a free poster for seeing cap 2 in imax 3d
So any opinion on seeing this in 3D? Is it worth the extra money?
I saw this in 3D only because I'd just missed the 2D showing and I agree: it definitely doesn't need to be seen in 3D at all. I don't regret paying the extra money, though, because I still really enjoyed this film. It was amazing. I knew it was going to be awesome and still it exceeded my expectations. I cannot wait for "The Avengers: Age of Ultron" and "Captain America 3" I really wanna see what they do with that aspect in the very last end credit scene (keeping this spoiler-free)
It is that good. I've seen it in 3D, as it was the only option fitting my timeframe, and quite franckly that wasn't needed nor was it a bonus. This. Is. A. Good. Movie. Plain, and simple
loved the movie 4.5 but the 3D was blurry garbage in action scenes. I think Falcon could use more batman-like armor to seem more believable, still enjoyed him
Are you gonna review Under their Skin too this weekend? You usually stick to the movies with wider releases but I'm really interested in your opinion on this movie plusI'msure you'll be interested to see this "experiment" on Johansson's part.
I saw it in IMAX on friday and LOVED it! Then I went and saw it on Saturday in not-IMAX 3D with my sister and thought it was a waste of money. I was a HUGE proponent of 3D, but that format made the action scenes muddled and confusing. 3D really didnt add anything to the film, and I should have just seen it in 2D and saved my money, or seen it in IMAX again.
QUESTION: Grace, you brought up a while ago about how Transcendence could cause problems to Avengers AOU with the whole AI etc. But this film beat even Transcendence to that. So how do you feel about that now?
SPOILER!!! I thought the stuff with Zola was underplayed. Perhaps it will turnout to be a major factor with Ultron, but I bet if you asked the average moviegoer if Cap 2 dealt with artificial intelligence they'd say "no".
- Grace
IMAX REVIEW: I agree that it wasn't much of a difference in 3D, however I have found that the sound systems in IMAX are much better than other theatres, so ironically it was the sound of the IMAX that gives it the edge. When Cap is hitting people with his shield it's just like BAM and it shakes the theater
I saw the movie in IMAX and it made a massive difference I felt the movie was better than in regular 2d as I have seen the movie in both
Cap was my favorite avenger before the avengers movie, and this film shows why
have you watched the movie to call it "everyone's move"? the winter soldier has a very few screen time even though the movie is sub-titled as The Winter Soldier.
i agree with you about watching it in 2D, i never have problems with that when i go to movies, and this one was one of the best Birthdays ever!!
I've seen Captain America 2 just recently and it was awesome from beginning to end.
What bothered me is that they constantly referenced Iron Man like they cant go too long without him.
Loved this movie, saw it in 3D and I don't think it really needed to be seen that way, but I enjoyed it.
When I first saw Thor (the first one), my initial thought was that the franchise has the potential to be Marvel's Lord of the Rings.
Hi Grace, Love the Show. Let me tell you... when this movie came out (a week ago here in Guatemala) I saw it on opening day on a 4D screen, as in the seats move and stuff. Jesus Christ was that a heart pounding experience. Then on Sunday I saw it again on Imax (everything here is like 3 times cheaper so I get to do this) and it was still an awesome time :)
Hulk wasn't rebooted, just recast
I say that The Incredible Hulk was cannon and at the same time it isn't. In Avengers Bruce was in control of the hulk before Loki used the scepter with one of the Infinity gems to control him. That only makes sense because of the ending in Incredible Hulk Bruce was in control and the pre credit scene justifies it. The only real difference is the change of the actor which is the case in every incarnation of the Hulk oddly.
Remember that Bruce spent most of the movie saying he didn't want to control him he wanted him gone. At the end he seemed to reversed that. I think he failed trying to control him as well so he isolated himself until he learned he can't ignore it, kill it, cure it, or control it. He has to accept and work with it and make it part of him rather then treat it like it's something else. He is the Hulk for better or worse and more he fights that the more Hulk fights back. Loki also didn't control him. He just had to know when to push him along.
I'm so happy more people get to watch this. I got to see it two weeks ago at an early screening and it was dreadful having to hold back spoilers.
I really don't see this "good-for-TV-only" quality that Grace sees in Sebastian Stan. I didn't see any difference between him and the other actors - he did his job well and he sold the Winter Soldier just fine. If I had to complain about an actor, I'd complain about Redford - he was on the bland side, I dare say.
I love that Black Widow and Bucky were actually a couple in the comics.
Great review Grace! I saw TWS last night and I was blown away.
Top marvel films are now Spider-Man 2, xmen 2, iron man, and captain america: the winter soldier
Niki D. I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure he's talking about the original Spider-man series
Niki D. Spider man 2 was awesome. Idk wtf u were watching
2020: winter soldier still one of the best Marvel movies to date (phase 1-4).
Grace, I have to wait until Sunday to see Cap, so I'll wait to watch the spoiler-review then. Been a long time fan hailing from frigid Minnesota, and love your show for your specific attention to the super-hero genre of films. Now, to a question: When, or if, do you think Marvel films will start to talk or reference their Netflix properties, like Daredevil and Luke Cage, within the films? I have to say, I'm more excited for those properties than the films given their ability to tell richer stories with more time to tell them, despite the large scale story-telling with big budgets. Have they confirmed their connection to the Marvel Cinematic Universe? Thanks Grace and keep up the great work. [emoticon smiley face]
I love that so many characters got to shine even though it's Captain America's film. I hate or at least get bored a lot of the time with "star Vehicles." I love Brad Pitt, but World War Z had little to do with the book (which dealt with a lot of individuals and their struggle) and it felt like characters that were not played by Brad Pitt were not allowed to be interesting or have compelling stories beyond a token mention of a dead loved one. The Mission Impossible films would be way better if they just killed off Ethan Hunt (along with his self indulgent crap) and allowed the characters from the last two films to do missions as a team rather than being props for Tom Cruise. I love Falcon and Black Widow in this film. Maria Hill with her smaller screen time than what she had in the Avengers was much more interesting (though it felt like Maria Hill did what Agent 13 would Normally do, I wanted more Agent 13, though I guess Steve Rogers didn't find out her last name for a while in the comic books). And Nick Fury was the most awesome he's been in any film, and he set the bar pretty high with his first appearance in Iron Man. I also loved the fact that while Steve Rogers is dealing with being a man out of his time, he's not just moping around. He appreciates the fact that he's having a second chance at life and he's living it, and sometimes actually enjoying himself.
I truly believe the Captain America & Iron Man dynamic along with the incredible storyline and Russo Bros as Directors will make Civil War the best MCU movie. well I hope so :)
If your cinema has it watch it on the D-box chairs
I kindly disagree +Grace Randolph. Have you been reading Rick Remenders run on Captain America? It's a ridiculous good read. Rick Remender is also doing a phenomenal job w/ uncanny avengers. Anyway, I will admit that the first few issues are a weird at first but once you get settled in? You will love it. I guarantee it!
You were right when you said go all fantasy with Thor !!! man your production level truly have been changed for the better since this time
Good point about Iron Man being the technical marvel, and Captain America being the political thriller. If Thor 3 can perfect the fantasy epic aspect then it will be on par with the rest as well. Great point Grace! I couldn't quite put my finger on it until you made that point, but brilliant woman! Brilliant!
