Overall, it was great. I've heard it described as a 70s paranoid thriller with a modern budget, and I think I agree with that, especially with Robert Redford in it.
It moves the marvel movieverse on in a big way and if you're watching Agents of Shield, there should be massive ramifications felt there.
As is usual now, there are 2 credits scenes, after the animated main credits and right at the end.
I loved that without fanfare, someone throws out the name of a character not yet seen in the movies, just to set up possible future appearances. There was also a cameo by someone I did not expect to see, which was nice.

I really enjoyed it, although did think they could probably have cut 10mins out to make it a little tighter.
Pretty cool to see three new marvel-verse characters in the extra scenes too!
I do have nitpicks, but only because it's what is fanboys do. But no real biggie that hindered my enjoyment of the flick.
Now, I want to see a Cap movie with Bucky to!
Sorry if this "review" is all over the place, kinda in a hurry. But go watch it with your buddies! Then watch it again to catch details you most likely missed the first time around. ;) and stay for the credits (which are great too!) And the mid-credits and after credits scens.

The official start of the summer movie season is one month away, but that doesn't matter for Disney and Marvel. One of their 2014 tentpoles in Captain America: The Winter Soldier is days away from its domestic launch, and tracking indicates the sequel is poised to top the $85.7 million opening of its cinematic universe's spiritual predecessor, Thor: The Dark World. Simultaneously, the Steve Rogers follow-up chapter is aiming to push through Fast Five's $86.2 million bow three years ago and stake the best April opening ever.
Well, for me. I'm going with some friends.
I am always curious about parents and what age they take their kids to see the Marvel movies. Obviously each kid is different, but at what age are they ready to handle these films? I remember when I went to see the Hulk (by myself, on Father's day), there was a guy there with his boy who couldn't have been older than 4. The poor kid was terrified the whole time and wanted to bolt, and his father kept berating him and telling him to stop crying. Great parenting.
I'm looking forward to watching the movies with my girls, but they are not ready yet. Cartoons only at this point. Which is fine with me... I LOVED Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes.

One nitpick: Washington DC doesn't have a "17th Avenue". Harumph.

Yeah.
Two words for now: Stephen Strange.
