That was my first statement when I found out he had landed the role. The guy is just money when it comes to be a bad guy. From Agent Smith to Megatron to Red Skull, Hugo just does it.
***Spoiler Alert***
I thought the ending was great also. My gf was completely shocked how they replicated the 40s to reduce the shock value.
The movie also left me wondering if they are going to follow the comic and bring Bucky back somehow, seeing that he eventually assumed the Cap role for a short period of time.
And seeing the Avengers trailer upfront was awesome. I'm stoked and counting down to May 2012.
