Worth watching in 3D? I've been trying to hunt down a 2D screening and can't find one.
Also, should I watch it in AVX or IMAX? Mayve I should just check it in a standard theater.

No, it's not worth it. Definitely gonna catch it again in 2D.

Gonna need to hunt down a 2D screening then. Everywhere I look, it is 3D, and I hate it.

I am working until 10 next Thursday. The 11:15 show is LieMAX 3D, but there is an 11:45 2D. I need to see which screen they have the 2D on, because some of the screens at my theater are bigger than the LieMAX here.
Best movie Marvel has put out. If anybody is worried about the tone being too much like Thor 2 (which I didn't have a problem with but I know some did), that's not a problem with this. There are jokes and moments of levity but it's almost nothing like what other Marvel movies have done with the humor.

Winter Soldier > Avengers = Iron Man 1 > the rest.

It'll be worth it. The movie clearly wasn't designed for 3D anyway, and it's really clear and sharp in 2D. Considering the way most of the action was choreographed, I can't imagine it being as impressive and entertaining in 3D, simply because it would be too distracting. The action is SO GOOD in this film, it would be a disservice to use gimmicks to water it down. So many great hand to hand fights, close up gun battles, etc. Maybe the Falcon flying scenes might be cool in 3D if they did the post-processing really well, but it still wouldn't be worth the rest of it being in 3D too.
Cinemas in my country won't show a movie in 2D if there is a 3D version available. That said, 3D in this wasn't needed and only made the movie look worse. As duckroll said, the close hand-to-hand combat, with quick cuts and tight shots, were screwed up by the 3d. It also made every shot darker than it supposed to be, as usual.
The movie is fantastic regardless, but if you have a choice go see the 2d version.

I thought the movie was good. I loved Cap actually fighting with the shield and really use it to his advantage. They also put him in some great fights and scenarios, which were fun to watch. It was also part a Black Widow movie with here kicking major ass at his side. There were also some good quiet moments of character development and espionage, which made the actions-beats so much stronger.
Chris Evans is still the perfect actor for playing the part of Captain America. A simple, sympathetic, nice guy, who follows his ideals without hitting you over the head with it. As an European i never felt like the movie ever went "America fuck yeah". Still strange for movie with such an name. Instead he values the basic principals of his nation, something everyone can agrees with.
But the movie misses "very good" because of the very slow build up. There is a lot of explaining of past events, characters relationships. character and organisation instructions etc.. The movies wasn't able to balance those quiet and action moments accordingly, which made the already long movie feel even longer. Falcon gets the worst out it, since he doesn't get enough screen time to have an impact on the audience.
All in all a good movie. It is a much better action flick then the first Captain America and on par with Thor 2, even so there both different movies.
Final Thoughts:
- The animations of end credits looked fantastic and a lot like the great posters of the movie.
- Cap fighting The Winter Soilder on the highway makes me want a Shadowrun-Movie! This was, what i imagine a fight between a Street Samurai and a Adept looks like.

My man crush on Evans is reaching unhealthy levels.
Is there a post credit scene? Anything juicy?

Erase all doubt you may have and go watch this film. This marvel's dark knight. WOW
Of course, stay for the mid credit at least.
Post credit is too short and doesn't really add anything.

Saw it, good stuff. Probably the best MCU film since the original Iron Man (mind you, I'm not as big a fan of The Avengers as some and would rate it and most of the other films as solid 7/10 material; this is probably 8/10).
I especially enjoyed the clear, suspenseful way the action scenes are shot. It's like the anti-Bay.

I find comments like this funny. You watch a 2 hour movie and you are aware of post credit scenes in Marvel movies and yet some people get up and leave.

Yeah if the movie is out in your country and you want to give your impression of story-related stuff can you please take it to the spoiler thread? It's there for a reason.

YUP. Mid credits is SO GOOD. End credits doesn't add that much but still a nice nod to things to come.
This marvel's dark knight. WOW
EASILY.

I don't think "Marvel's Dark Knight" is a good comparison for this film. I mean the most obvious problem with the comparison is... you can't see jack shit in the action in Nolan movies. Complete opposite here. I would say that this is closer to... the Casino Royale of Marvel movies maybe?

i thought that rises had somewhat coherent action scenes. not the most inspired but they used far less quick cuts than tdk and bb.

Yeah but calling it Marvel's Dark Knight RISES would be very different than calling it Marvel's Dark Knight.
Watched it yesterday, and quite liked it. I thought Falcon was going to be kinda lame and ended up being a total badass. Well, everyone actually, the action scenes are downright excellent.
Also, I was disappointed

that Hawkeye was nowhere to be seen, with this being a SHIELD movie and actually taking longer than a day (unlike IM3 and T2)
But the 2 or 3 Bond movies before Casino Royale were total shit, and that doesn't apply to MarvelI don't think "Marvel's Dark Knight" is a good comparison for this film.

Does giving a shit mean chopping your fights into unwatchable scraps of shots?
At least 800M.
Like Thor 2, maybe less because of anti American sentiment
Huh? This has been really popular overseas.
I think it's going to wreck. If this is accurate...
...then somewhere between Iron Man and Iron Man 3.

I think this is about accurate. I'm thinking somewhere between $650 million and $750 million worlwide when it exits theaters thanks to the Avengers effect and great reception.

It makes me really sad that the best two X-Men movies are at the bottom.
