This is a spoiler-filled comment

I enjoyed it, but I'd avoided the whole "we don't need a Black Widow movie because Cap" deal (I also had in mind that they had now confirmed that she was getting her own film?). I also went to a different cinema and was sitting next to movie-reviewing geeks (by accident) who behaved themselves! We had some "turn off your phones" but nowhere near the level you did.

I was disappointed by numerous elements of Natasha's storyline, like the DOB, but I actually assumed from several looks that she was lying through her teeth about her history with the Winter Soldier. I also liked the implication that, although her allegiance was clearly with Fury, he wasn't sure she wasn't Hydra/aligned with the Winter Soldier. I might have been grasping at crumbs, but again, I missed the whole "you don't need a Widow film because Cap".

I found it quite awesome, but I didn't go in with expectations. I also really, really loved the final end-credits scene. But was cursing myself for not bringing in both my 2D glasses and a set of regular 3D glasses because those were the worst things ever. I think I spent half the film adjusting them to sit over my regular glasses. (You had some different previews - no Tom Cruise at Knox - and we also didn't have the "girls' night" element to the Cameron Diaz preview, although the posters for it in the foyer did have this happening. We did have a Divergent preview, too.)
