-I liked this one a lot. I need to think over it a bit yet, but right now it would be right near the top of my list of Marvel movies, probably still behind Avengers and maybe Iron Man. Definitely ahead of the first Captain America though by a significant margin.
-This is the first Marvel movie to depart from their familiar tone. The humor is still there, but not near so much as in Iron Man 3 and Thor: The Dark World. It's darker and a lot more intense, more an espionage thriller than a fun action movie. For example, there were a lot of kids (and quite a few young kids) in the audience I saw it with and during the quiet parts of the movie it was dead silent in the theater. I was shocked.
-I was pretty impressed with all of the actors in their roles. Scarlett in particular gives you a good idea of just how messed-up the Black Widow is.
-The fighting is good, though there's a little too much shakycam for my tastes. The Winter Soldier with a knife is particularly cool.
-Fury actually gets to do more in this movie than all of the others combined.
-I love Cap's suit in this film. It's based on one of my favorite comic looks and it really works on screen.
-For a somewhat covert organization S.H.I.E.L.D. seems to put a logo on everything.
-How good is the movie? It made this guy cool:

-I understand why he wasn't included, but Hawkeye kind of seems like he should be a part of the action, or at least mentioned in the film. UPDATE: Apparently Kevin Feige has said that Hawkeye's absence will be explained in Age of Ultron.
-Well, he's not directly mentioned, but the Black Widow is wearing an arrow charm on a necklace which one would assume came from Hawkeye.
-Helicarriers are cool.
-Pretty major twist in this movie. Maybe more than one depending on how familiar you are with the source material. The landscape of the Marvel films will be changed a lot.
-The mid-credits scene is a set up for Avengers: Age of Ultron. The post-credit scene ties back to the movie itself.
