What about that movie didn't you like....besides the costume which I give you.
The origin I thought they did pretty well, it just all totally fell apart after that. Needed to be an hour longer so they could have cemented the plot better. (**SPOLIERS LIE HERE**) Cap rescues all the dudes from Hydra, then they’re looking at a map, then suddenly we get a montage of action scenes mostly involving him shooting in slow motion at stuff off-screen. It took me until almost the end of the sequence to realise that they’d actually started taking the fight to Hydra there. Bucky’s death carried no weight whatsoever, and I still have no idea what the Red Skull was trying to achieve or what his plan ultimately was. I’m taking a stab in the dark and saying his ultimate weapon of destruction was one of those disintegrator rays capable of taking out a city, and that was on the plane. But why is he flying to New York? Is he going to blow up the city as a display of power, threaten to blow it up, transport his death ray to a secret base there? Is he demanding the nations of the world make him supreme ruler of everything, or one million dollars, or free breakfasts at Dennys for all Hydra members? Maybe it was explained and I just missed it (I was really struggling to pay attention by the time the end was in sight), but I honestly don’t have a clue what was going on in the second half.
