"I don't wanna kill anyone. I don't like bullies. I don't care where they're from." Steve Rogers
I didn't realize until I got to the end of this film that I had already seen the ending. It was pretty disappointing honestly, and it's not even the film's fault. The film itself is great. It's a strong superhero, science fiction, action movie with strong characters and an intriguing story line. It is definitely helped by the previous films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Howard Stark is a great character, but the reason why we really feel connected to him is Tony and Iron Man 2. This film is surprisingly world-expansive without coming off as "Meanwhile, on this side of the galaxy." It expands the world throughout time, which is just brilliant. It's a risky thing to do, but it's done beautifully and cleverly. Again, the heart of the film is the characters. Steve is a great character with such a strong heart. He was always being forced to prove himself and he always did. He's an inspiring character to watch because he decides that he can do more, and then he does. (Except for the whole scientifically engineered body thing. If you want a better, stronger physique, I wouldn't suggest trying to become friends with a multi-millionaire scientific genius. There aren't many of those. Steve got lucky. Just stop whining and go to the gym.) Seriously though, the characters are great. They are strong and they relate to each other well, which is really entertaining for the viewer. The ending is slightly heartbreaking even though you had to see something like it coming. It's a well done film and definitely worth a watch.
