I remember thinking this was a little slow, a little boring around the time when it first came out. However, watching it as a double feature with its sequel, Captain America: The Winter Soldier great improves and sharpens what came before. Context can be everything, can't it? So let's talk about... the sequel.
The 1940's costuming was to die for, I'll give them that.
Grumpy Cat, sleepwalking through his role as grizzled army man #231212, and the Tuche, doing a strongly sibilant German accent, together forever.
Richard Armitage as a HYDRA spy! (SPOILERS WHOOPS)
Uh, yeah. I'll just leave this here. For science.
Natalie Dormer! You're a lot more famous now because of The Hunger Games and Game of Thrones! But you're still very Natalie Dormery in this small role.
Hugo Weaving basically fulfilling the dream of being an antagonist/morally ambiguous character in every nerdly universe: LoTR, The Matrix, Marvel, Transformers, oh my! Is there nothing this guy can't play? (Obviously my favorite Weaving incarnation is and always will be Mitzi Del Bra in The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. But he's pretty consistently great and this role is no exception.)
