I still think its a good film but any scene that isnt an action scene is just 2 people standing and talking . The peggy scene is so pointless and boring i have to skip it each time i watch it. And the car scene. AOU was more fun.

I loved the whole thing. And the 'Peggy scene' is far from boring.

All for a box of chocolates...

No you weren't alone. I got up and left for the bathroom during the Peggy scene. I think the main reason was the pacing. It was a long stretch with no action and no suspense. He was just kinda wandering the city going through his thoughts as I recall.

There was really nothing immediately demanding he go see her. It didn't really tie back to the main story, stopping Hydra. It was almost like a timeout.

If they wanted to use her, I guess she could have given him some vital piece of information and then at least you're wondering if the bad guys will come after her.

Sorry, disagree with this. And the main story isn't just stopping Hydra, it's Cap still trying to find his place in the world. It's the utter collapse of SHIELD. You know, SHIELD... that one of the few reasons he was staying with them was because Peggy was one of it's founders. Seeing her, hearing her essentially echo Pierce's words that 'sometimes the best you can do is start over' plays very much into the end of the film when Steve insists that SHIELD needs to go as well, that the slate needs to be wiped clean. Not to mention, it also gave us Cap's first reunion with Peggy albeit not in the way many of us were expecting. That (at least almost) everytime he goes to see her, because of her age and illness, that reunion is happening again (for her) for the first time. It shows us that Cap's one remaining tie to his old life (that he knows of at that point) is fading away and adds to what he's feeling as a character throughout the movie. Which also informs his reaction when he realizes that Peggy isn't the only friend he has from the old days.... that Bucky is still alive. It's a thread that carries beyond the end of this film and continues in Civil War.

I think seeing Peggy was much needed in this film. I had no problem with the pacing at all.

Agent Hill: ...Then aliens invaded New York and were beaten back, by among others, a giant green monster, a costumed hero from the 40's.... and a god.

Agent Ward: I don't think Thor is technically a god.

Hill: Well...you haven't been near his arms.

Wtf are you really so traumatized by new movies that you find a decent pacing slow?
