I know The Winter Soldier is the most liked Cap movie, but I just love The First Avenger the most.
Don't get me wrong, The Winter Soldier is absolutely amazing. I recently rewatched it and it deserves the hype it gets.
I just find that The First Avenger just executed everything it does perfectly. Dr Erskine, Agent Carter, Col Phillips, and of course Steve and Bucky are performed so spectacularly in this movie. I can't get enough of pre-serum Steve and the heroism he demonstrates before he gets the serum. The Camp Lehigh scenes are just all tine bangers, and how can we not love the scene when Cap brings all those men back? And that montage of Cap leading the Howling Commandos? I find myself rewatching it all the time along with that score.
finally, no matter how many times I watch it, that ending and its buildup just always hits me like a truck. I feel all the same emotions Steve is in that moment.
Ugh this movie is so perfect and I feel I could just gush about it all day.
