It was really great! I'm not sure it's my favorite of the MCU movies -- I think Cap 1 and Iron Man 1 are stronger -- but particularly as a sequel and as a middle movie, it was SOLID.
And I'm going to give myself some hipster credit and say that I was saying the MCU has a deep distrust of the military/industrial/intelligence complex before it was cool. Seriously, way on back to Iron Man 1 and The Incredible Hulk, MCU has been consistently putting out the idea that these powerful systems are dangerous and harmful -- now they're just getting REALLY EXPLICIT about it.
Anyway, yeah yeah everyone has a lot of feelings about Sam and Nat and Bucky and I am still crying about Peggy oh my god.
