This is pure adrenaline/excitement with tons of little spots of humour, cleverness, story, realness, excitement & surprises that makes the average adult viewer think outside the box while watching. This is the best treatment of a 1940's character like Captain America, and the "story" is really what drives this --- it's like no other superhero movie, with a thoroughly engaging story that doesn't totally rely on action/explosions (the action is subtle, subversive, more of a prelude to the shocking plot twists and humour) with some of the best exciting villains/shocks/surprises and some of the best sidekick characters and some of the best pure smart political story that is like no other. A very good blockbuster that is a real surprise for an epic movie like no other superhero movie of the last 10 years. Extremely well done, and I "have" to give this a 10/10, for being that damn good, and very very very entertaining/thoughtful/moving/surprising. Like everyone else, I felt the same about Captain America 2 as most other smart moviegoers. Way better than I expected!
