Captain America 2 is in theaters now. Have you seen it? Need a place to chat about it? Join us!
Well, Captain America: The Winter Soldier is the talk of the Den of Geek office, and has been for several weeks. It's too bad that nobody else out there seems to have gone to see it and...wait...what? It did over $10 million in Thursday night screenings alone? Oh, never mind, then! It appears that EVERYBODY is going to see Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and quite a few of you have enjoyed it!
So, with that in mind, we'd like to invite you to share your thoughts about the film. For folks who haven't seen the film, we'd like to warn you that these comments may become fairly spoiler-heavy. For folks commenting, please try and be considerate and kick your more spoiler-y comments off with a visible spoiler warning of some kind. We do have a fairly spoiler-free review of the film, which you can read right here in case you're still deciding on whether or not to go see it.

I couldn't decide on 5/5 or 10//10. Do I gave it 15 stars.
SPOILER TIME
The computer room was a pretty awesome way of bringing back an old character. Fury's car,
Man I thought trailers ruined that scene. Nope. It was amazing. Sitwell name dropping Stephen Strange, THAT was awesomazing. Truly, Marvel's best film. Gotg has it's work cut out for it.
Agreed, it absolutely lived up to the hype! Phase Two has been getting better with each movie so far. I'm sure GotG is going to be great but I don't know how it could possibly top Winter Soldier. This had so many ties to the existing films and I loved how they brought HYDRA back as a credible threat.
Also Nick Fury's tombstone was flippin awesome! I fully geeked out when I read the quote!
Mmmm hmm, this is a tasty burger! Nick Fury's car was awesome... But Coulson's can fly lol. But yes Hydra being back may eventually lead to Fear Itself. Meanwhile AIM and the 10 Rings seem to be kaput, though the latter was in All Hail The King, I think it's a throwaway. I can't wait to see what Easter eggs and mid and end credit scenes are in gotg. Forget Spider-Man and xmen (I kid, I will try to watch both) but Come on august!
