Out of all the Marvel movies Winter Soldier jumps to the top for me just under Avengers. I agree that the tie-in with AoS made both even more enjoyable. Ready for Cap 3.
Boy, any shot we can take to make comments about things we don't like. Now I see how ridiculous I sounded crowbarring complaints about Morrison & the 60s Batman into any thread.
I think some of the nitpicks were a little of a stretch. If Agent Carter reveals Hydra had been there since the inception of SHIELD, then how would Stark's program distinguish the two?
Could Fury still have been wearing the body armor, but a high caliber round was used? A good predator knows its prey.
Wasn't Stark's repulser tech used on the 3 super Heli-carriers? Eliminating/allowing Stark to die in IM2 would've delayed their plans, not help it.
Wasn't the groundwork for Hydra somewhat in Avengers? Barton commented SHIELD has no shortage of enemies & some of the Heli-carrier infiltrators were wearing SHIELD gear.
The Avengers Initiative was shutdown before Avengers (Hydra could've had a hand in that). Fury essentially gathered the group outside of SHIELD.
Red Skull WAS using the Tesseract to take over the world with advanced weapons...so why would Hydra 'just take it' if Phase Two (which involved making superior weapons) wasn't finished? Again, more hurting then helping.
I don't have a problem with nit picking. If a movie is good, nits to pick are the only ways to seperate the good from the great and the great from the classic.
Grabbed mine from Target. Apparently there's supposed to be more bonus content. Also grabbed me a copy of Lecrae's "Anomaly" for $8! A good day today is!
Fortunately for me I live near one of the last remaining video rental stores and they usually have new blu-rays on sale in a month for $10. No issues yet.
Off topic: Yesterday I picked up a dvd pack that contained all 4 Blade movies in it for $3 at a used book store. I wound up wih a mild case of buyers remorse, but I got over it after recognizing that I enjoyed at least two of those films.
Also off topic: when the economy collapses and the grid is shutdown, like in tv shows along the lines of Revolution, we will be glad to have our movies on "physical media"... LOL
How many years will we have to wait to get the Captain America Trilogy set with all the old extras, plus some new ones?
Also off topic: when the economy collapses and the grid is shutdown, like in tv shows along the lines of Revolution, we will be glad to have our movies on "physical media"... LOL
When the economy collapses and the grid is shutdown, watching old movies will be a pretty damned low priority.

When the grid is down you'll have to use your precious gasoline to power your generator just to turn your TV on...I bet you'll find something better to do with your scarce electricity.
Does this mark a further step in the demise of physical media releases?
This was one of the biggest movies of the year and for the DVD release:
I saw no pre release advertising The Blu Ray was lacking a new Marvel One shot production No DVD/Blu Ray Combo There were some special features but no effort to really involve the main stars in anything. Seeing that they were filming Avengers II for several months prior to the release, I would have thought that it would have been eady to grab Chris Evans or Scarlett Johannson for something.

I don't think those are spelling the demise. I did notice big movies like this are downloadable about 2 weeks before they're available to buy in physical form.

Best nitpicking ... E.V.E.R.

Kinda like "best toothache."
No DVD/Blu-ray combo; only single disc DVD or Blu-ray
3D/Blu-ray/Blu-ray/HD download combo set
Target was the cheapest, but Walmart has variant character covers for the combo set. Walmart also price matches.
Got my Black Widow variant cover.

I use both dvd and blu-rays and have absolutely zero use use for the 3D blu-ray and digital download.
Bring back the combo packs!
Another stinker: no Marvel One Shot.
