I didn't much like the first movie either. Anything called Captain America immediately made me cringe. I only gave it a shot because I loved Thor and I thought...well...nothing better to do, why not?
And it was...ok. I also thought the waking up in the future would happen sooner but that was probably just me misunderstanding the trailer. I agree though that it might have made more sense to split the movie...or make it longer...but on the other hand, not everyone likes a long and emotional story telling.
I had no clue about Bucky being the Winter Soldier when I watched it...but even back then I thought...this feels as if the only reason they made the movie was to introduce a character...and not because they had anything to say about the character but just because otherwise people might not understand why there is a Captain America in the Avengers movie.
So yeah, 1st one...blah...
Winter Soldier? Epic...I totally loved it. My only complaint is that I don't have the DVD yet so that I can do an indepth watching where I am glued to the TV until I know everything...LOL...
And I can't wait for Cap 3 now...all about finding and bringing Bucky back! YAY!
Even without the slash goggles, which I definitely have, this is an excellent story telling...even just the friendship between those two guys would be inspiring...and I've always had a soft spot for Bucky, even in the first movie.

This is true, and I think based on the desire to both 1)appeal to the largest audience possible, and 2)get Cap (and Bucky) to the future ASAP, they did a really good job with the movie.

Exactly. Basically, the entire movie was "backstory" rather than "story" - it was basically just saying, "this is who this guy is and why, now wait a few years and we'll actually talk about what that means."

This is also my only complaint!

Agreed on all counts! I too usually where the slash goggles, but what I loved about this movie was that I could enjoy it just as much without the slash goggles as with. :)
