If Captain America 3 will not be coming out until May 2016 then will Captain America not catch up to the Winter Soldier for another 2 years? Cause I don't think Avengers: Age of Ultron will have enough time to cover that plot point.

I must have missed that, then. I'll have to pay better attention next time I see the movie.
I saw this film today.
Pretty impressive scripting, pacing....and direction. A complex, and engaging plot....characters you cared about. (Rather than characters put onscreen just to promote another film....i.e. the first Captain America film coming off as a commercial for The Avengers).
Colbie Smulders was hot as Maria Hill. Sam Jackson and Anthony Mackie were pretty good in their roles, but I do hope that Mackie's role doesn't become a 'sidekick' role like with Don Cheadle in the Iron Man films.
I gave the first Captain America a 6/10.
I give Part 2 an 8.5 - 9/10.

I've seen that complaint made about Iron Man 2 (being a commercial for Avengers), and can certainly understand that line of thinking, but I disagree about Cap though. I think it had a great story that was able to stand on it's own.
As for Falcon turning into another Rhodie, I think Sam got more to do than Rhode's did in the Iron Man films.

I assumed the Winter Soldier's history was supposed to be similar to the comics except that HYDRA got full control of him after a while. That file we saw later in the movie appeared to be written in Cyrillic. I wish they'd made the point clearer, though.
No law covered them up to then. Five minutes after the movie was over, they were made illegal. Walter Peck's revenge.
If no other history was ever given,
Coulson said they recruited him as a teenager.
Oh come on, there would only be fourteen
Well, 13. There's no such thing as an "F-" it's just "F."
Oh, there is, but it's reserved specifically for haters.
I always thought that was a little odd, considering how viciously some of those organizations were working at cross-purposes. I think Gruenwald invented that one on the fly for Cap #350 and just went with it after that whether it made sense or not.
Dark Helmet: That's the stupidest combination I've ever heard of in my life! That's the kinda thing an idiot would have on his luggage!
President Skroob: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5? That's amazing! I've got the same combination on my luggage!
I didn't even realize that was supposed to be Crossbones until I saw the credits.
Yes, but if it was, we would have gotten a Wolverine crossover!
I was just glad to see Batroc at all. They even managed to work in the colors of his costume. You'd think Nightshade and Capwolf would be ahead of "Batroc zee Leap-aire" in terms of priority.
I dunno-- did anyone miss his terrible French accent?
As to that, plus his occasional French oaths and references ... I saw an article a few years ago saying Batroc apparently doesn't speak French any better than he speaks English.
My favorite lines in the film were when Black Widow asked the Captain if that was his first kiss since 1945 and when she said "Bye bye bikinis".
"Yeah, I bet you look terrible in them."
Finally, an action heroine acknowledges the obvious. How many characters really ought to be covered with scars and aren't? You'd think that would have come up years ago ... especially with the heroines where a bikini is their costume.
Should Steve even know what a bikini is? The term was coined postwar.
Oh, so that's why he spends so much time on the Internet.
It's odd that a rather small scar on her otherwise flawless body would make her ditch bikinis. Trust me, Natasha. No one's going to notice! As for Steve and bikinis? He's been out for a year or two, I'm sure he's learned by now what a bikini is.
It's entirely possible, but HYDRA and KGB are not mutually exclusive in the movie universe.
Yeah, I think he's a quick learner and would have picked that up. He picked up a pretty random movie reference, so I think he could figure out bikinis. They're hard to miss, after all.
^ I would imagine that HYDRA would have infiltrated every spy/law enforcement/intelligence organisation in the world.
They would certainly have made the effort if they thought it worthwhile.
Condor, not Falcon, right?
I'm a Spanish not French guy, and so I don't have experience in French accents, but maybe you perceive it that way because Georges St-Pierre is from Quebec. Of course according to Alexander Pierce, "Actually, he's Algerian." and according to the S.H.I.E.L.D. file Batroc was in the DGSE, I'm going to believe that you're right about a bad "French" accent.I was just glad to see Batroc at all. They even managed to work in the colors of his costume. You'd think Nightshade and Capwolf would be ahead of "Batroc zee Leap-aire" in terms of priority.

That true. Now I wish that in Captain America: The First Avenger, the Captain spoke to Red Skull in German. Now that would be cool especially considering that the movie ridiculously had all Germans and even Norwegians speak in English.
Three Days of the Condor, not the Falcon.
Could have sworn that it was Three Days of the Snowman.
I didn't realize it until I went home and looked it up! I'm not a huge Marvel comics fan, though I've heard of Crossbones. I figured that Brock Rumlow must be somebody from the books, since they spent a scene showing him in the hospital, badly scarred, being loaded onto a gurney.
Yeah, that's when I realized it as well. I vaguely knew of Crossbones, but not enough to truly appreciate it. Of course, my lack of knowledge on who Rumlow was didn't help preserve the surprise of him being a turncoat either because that elevator scene was promoted to death.
