Looks amazing. Can't wait to see it.

Yeah, I'm really looking forward to this. I know they cut footage of Cap acclimating to modern times from the Avengers. I'm hoping this movie—though it takes place 2 years later—still retains some of that. More than even Hulk's story, there are more notes of sadness/melancholy to the Captain America character.

Look like they're introducing The Falcon.

Looks better than the first Captain America movie.

I wouldn't think so. It happens well after the Avengers movie. So you may hear references to that but it shouldn't make it hard to follow the film.

Wow, there is a lot of badassery going on there.

Looks pretty weak IMO. Not even sure that Redford being in it can counteract the exhaustively over saturated SLJ. I couldn't even finish the first one.

The first one was the weakest of the Marvel entrants last time IMO. This does look a lot better.

Not sure I agree with that. I thought Iron Man 2, Thor & the Edward Norton Hulk were all about on par (at times better & at times worse) with the first Captain America movie. Haven't seen IM 3 yet.

I don't count Norton's Hulk personally. I liked IM 2 and Thor better than the first Cap flick.

They really made some mistakes with the shield in general. They stated that because it is made of vibranium (still waiting on that Black Panther movie BTW) it absorbs all kinetic energy. If that's the case why would it bounce and ricochet all over the place? The answer is that it wouldn't, it would hit something, absorb the kinetic energy and fall to the ground.

It isn't pure vibranium. It is an alloy of iron, vibranium and some unknown catalyst. The scientist who created it would later invent Admantium trying to re-create the properties of the shield. Now the shield has been referred to as containing Admantium steel as well. But they have changed the history of the shield so many times it is kind of hard to keep track of which one he is currently using.

I'm rather hoping this is the last time we'll see him for a while... like, until Avengers 2. It would make sense... as long as he's not in Thor 2 (which he probably isn't) and he's not in Guardians of the Galaxy (an appearance there would be unlikely), then Avengers 2 will be the next one. And hopefully the last.

I am talking about the movie shield not comic book canon. In the film it was stated to absorb all vibrations well if that's the case then ricocheting would not be possible.
Just sayin'.

Almost definitely not. I'd place a reasonable wager on people being able to walk into this one and enjoy it without having seen the others. It has the advantage of taking place in real time from The Avengers - that flick came out in 2012, this one is 2014, and it takes place two years after the events of The Avengers... so it wouldn't be natural for the characters to be constantly referencing those events.

So are they setting up Avengers II to have SHIELD as the bad guy?.....or is it going to be a different shadowy arm of the Government that tries to corral superheroes (kind of like in Iron Man III)?

Probably nitpicking but the previous post is kind of spoilerish.
I think they will have it pretty close to the comics version - found by the Russians made into an operative. Will need to be creative with why they freeze him between deployments

Nah, he's right. I was just assuming that 99% of the people who are not comic book nerdsReally? They are using the same actor as in the first movie.
have no idea who Bucky is,

Never followed the Marvel comics as a kid. I was more DC.NCCommish said:
For the films, I ranked them:
Iron Man
Avengers
Captain America
Incredible Hulk
Thor
Iron Man 2
Iron Man 3
What I know of Red Skull was from the Spiderman cartoon. He seemed pretty badass and Weaving portrayed him well. I hope he survived somehow.

Looking more forward to Thor 2 than Cap 2, but this trailer looks way better than the first Cap. Color me unsold on the GoG they are planning.

Surprisingly, my 10 year old son was somewhat underwhelmed by the trailer. He said it looked "too modern and high tech". He prefers Captain America in his original setting like in the old comic books and the first movie. Kid has always been a bit of an "old soul" though.

This film looks much better, but I still dont like his suit.

I liked that the first one was a period piece, which made it unlike most other superhero films.
I'm intrigued that this one looks like a paranoid espionage thriller. Which makes it unlike most other superhero films. Maybe not as interesting to 10 year olds, admittedly.

Thought it was right there with Ironman at the top.
Ironman sequel sucked but this looks legit.

I thought this was really excellent. Very different from any of the previous Marvel films, and man does it turn things in the Marvel Cinematic Universe on its head.

Excited to see it, previews looked miles better than the first Cap
