Captain America

Saw it last night. Loved it. Loved that they didn't try to make Cap modern, loved the pulpy aesthetic, loved that most of the movie is relatively free of shoehorned in continuity stuff, and the stuff that is there (Howard Stark, for example) makes sense.

Evans plays Cap totally earnest, as it should be. There is no attempt to make him cynical or "hardcore". Refreshing to see that. I think Weaving probably does the best comic-to-film Marvel villain yet with Red Skull, too.

I wish the Howling Commandos had been given some more screen time and development, but that's a small complaint. I don't know if it nailed things as successfully as Iron Man, but I feel it's the closest Marvel has come to replicating that success. And it does some things much better (villain, for one).
