I've seen screen savers with more depth and fewer unnecessary lens flares than Captain America: The First Avenger.

Hot Take: Captain America: The First Avenger's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Rewatched Captain America: The First Avenger last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Captain America: The First Avenger?
Director clearly thought Captain America: The First Avenger was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Captain America: The First Avenger actually is?
Look, I wanted to love Captain America: The First Avenger. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.
