amberdreamsI think I am definitely losing count here - but I'll just run with whatever day I think it is, blow it. So Day 23's photo is the billboard poster in the pictures this afternoon, and today's happy dancing was due to finally getting to see Captain America, the Winter Soldier. And I was even happier that it didn't disappoint, given that me and my cinema buddy have been looking forward to this one for what feels like eons.
I liked how it didn't try and wrap up all the story lines, there was plenty of blowing stuff up and kicking arses, but there was quite a lot of thinky thoughts in there as well - and not so much that the momentum was lost. (Well in my opinion, anyway). I enjoyed the filling in of more backstory, I loved how Steve's integrity drove everything in the end, and how the film questioned the whole idea of overwhelming force as a deterrent.
I loved Falcon - how cool to have wings like that and hey, it didn't hurt that he is so very pretty too. On that note, aren't Chris Evans' eye lashes to die for?
Spoilers ahoy!!!
I knew Fury wouldn't be dead, so all that emoting over his body was a little bit wasted for me. I desperately wanted it to be Jenny Agutter's character who was kicking all that ass in the conference room, so was really quite gutted when it turned out to be Natasha! Dammit they should have had two women directors on that poxy security council just to make that happen. Or have Natasha be disguised as one of the men.
So anyway, I loved it, and will be buying the DVD. *Nods*
