A little cliché

Rating: 6/10 (7 April 2014)

Chris Evans is crazy hot. I mean the guy is physically perfect, so I will gladly pay to watch him in any movie. I wasn't crazy about the first Captain America flick but the previews for this one looked promising so I went to the theater with high expectations and super excited to be staring at Evans on the big screen. I mean I would pay to watch the guy eat a burger. The movie though, fell a little flat. The action scenes were OK but a little gratuitous.
The winter soldier was bad ass, but when they revealed his identity, the cheese factor of movie went from zero to 100 and I was turned off. Couldn't the writers come up with anything more original? I thought the fact that Rogers cute neighbor was also a shield agent was cliché. Also Scar Jo looked like a Jersey Shore guido with her fake tan and 4 shades of bronzer and circa 2000 frosted pink lipstick.
Anthony Mackie's character the Falcon added absolutely nothing to the movie. Was he supposed to be some kind of token or something? He pretty much came across like Capt. America's door mat. And for the love of me I don't understand why they made Capt. America use the same costume from the first movie; the costume from 1944. What happened to the Avengers version of his costume? Even though the director of this movie did not want to use it, why didn't they come up with a 2014 version? So the winter soldier has a cool modern cutting edge costume and the star of the feature has a dusty, baggy museum ensemble from 1944? Evans has this amazing anatomically perfect body and they hide it behind this unremarkable getup?
