4 stars from me! Probably 4 1/2. So good! The beginning with how Cap and Sam Wilson meet was hilarious. Steve lapped him three times! "On your left." XD It's so adorable how Steve has a notebook to jot down what people recommend that he should check out from what he missed during the decades of being frozen. I paused and wrote down what he had in his little journal: I Love Lucy (Television) Moon Landing Berlin Wall (Up + Down) Steve Jobs (Apple) Disco Thai Food Star Wars/Trek Nirvana (Band) Rocky (Rocky II?) That's exactly how he had it written along with little notes. It looked like Star Wars was crossed out which I take to mean that he watched them. Peggy!!! It was so great to see her again but so heartbreaking. She's so old and her mind isn't all there. Poor Steve looked so crushed over it. The whole scene with Nick Fury in the car was so well done! Lots of laughs through that tense situation, like when he asked the car computer what's not broken and it said, the air conditioner. XD The elevator scene with Cap and all those guys was so awesome! The scenes with Cap and Bucky, all well done and intense and fun to watch. Cap and Black Widow make a great duo, despite how different they are. It's sweet that Widow is always trying to set him up, even in situations when they're fighting bad guys. So funny! We got introduced to Falcon in this movie! Sam Wilson from the beginning ends up donning the flight suit. We also got our first mention of Stephen Strange. I never realized it before this most recent viewing because I didn't really know who Stephen Strange was until I heard about the Doctor Strange movie was being made. We're also introduced to Winter Soldier for the first time, who, it turns out, is Steve's childhood friend. It was so sad to see how crushed he looked at having to fight Bucky and the ending, when he was standing down and letting Bucky beat the crap out of him because he refused to lift a hand to his friend and because he so strongly believed Bucky was still in there. It worked though! There was a flicker of recognition and we see him in the stinger, which I'll mention below. Stan Lee sighting! He was the security guard at the museum who realizes Cap's costume is missing from the exhibit. "Oh man, I am so fired." XD Stinger: There were two! The first one, we see the tesseract and our first introduction to the twins, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch! The second one after all the credits is Bucky at the museum, trying to find out who he is. Apparently Cap's wholehearted faith in Bucky paid off. Favorite quotes/momentsElevator scene Black Widow: (showing bullet wound on torso) Bye bye bikinis. Steve: Yah, I bet you look terrible in them now. Steve: (to Sam after coming to in hospital) On your left.

Okay, realized I skipped this review. How could I? O.O Wasn't on purpose. As it's been a while I watched this one, I really can't remember every single scene right now, but I try to remember as good as I can. 5 stars! XD What shall I say? I've to give 5 to almost every MCU movie now lol! No really, we were sitting in front of tv all fascinated and excited. Sam Wilson! Yes, I enjoyed that beginning scene too. He's such a likeable character I think. Hahaha I didn't even realize the display of the notebook. XD Okay, actually I don't remember, but I think I didn't. But you wouldn't be Hollywood Heidi, if you didn't lmao. And also, you know what is funny?? I do have such a list on my notebook too, it's for movies and shows people told me I should watch or some I heard about myself but hadn't time to start them yet. XD Oh that Peggy moment was so heartbreaking indeed. :_( All the Nick Fury stuff was so damn thrilling! I remember Willi and me sitting there like this ---> for like half an hour of the movie! We did that also in the end, then we looked at each other and I couldn't other than speaking our minds out loud: "Brilliant shit!" XDD I really love Black Widow, especially since this movie!! She's so cool! And it's also cool to see one Avenger member appearing a lot in another's movie! Oh I've watched Dr. Strange (actually only half, as I did slept away in cinema back when we watched it. Not because of the movie! I was so sleepy again XD Oh geez, if I was a dwarf, I'd totally be sleepy lmao!), and despite didn't caught that mention. ^^'You may think I'm pretty inattentive lol. Winter soldier! Wow, I found it so dramatic how Cap and Bucky met again. I somehow love Bucky! Well, I love the actor. Some of my sympathy could come from that lol. I may not mention the Stan Lee sightings always, but I so adore them! XD Every single one of them make me wide grin! Yay for Quicksilver! The second stinger was so great too! Bucky!
