The heart of the MCU is introduced.

Rating: 9/10 (16 April 2016)

The good - I feel like this is becoming a bit of a broken record, but the supporting cast in this movie is simply outstanding. Even if we consider Hayley Atwell and Hugo Weaving stars, you still have stand-out performances from Tommy Lee Jones, Sebastian Stan, Toby Jones (as Arnim Zola) and Stanley Tucci, in an incredibly performance as Dr Erskine. This movie gets so much mileage from its supporting players.
The excellent - I love Atwell's Peggy Carter and Skinny Steve Rodgers is one of my all time favorite characters from the MCU. Steve is hero even before he becomes one. Hugo Weaving is a perfect Red Skull.
The nitpicks - I don't have many...would love to have seen more of the Howling Commandos, but maybe Netflix will give us a series, or more Agent Carter time.
Summary - I love this movie. I find it gets me right in the feels in a way that only Guardians can match. Great action, great heart, great drama and great sacrifice. A perfect intro to The Avengers.
