Captain America

Captain America surprised me. The writers introduced me to this noble, weakling guy. They make him powerful. Then they put him where he was most effective: on a poster. Propaganda was powerful during WW2 and seeing them put a superhero in action only as a figurehead fit the time, scenario, and kept me believing in the movie as a whole

The best part about the situation. The best part of the situation: they were right and Captain America understood and went along with it. He was a smart guy all the way through the movie. Then when the prisoners needed rescuing and nobody would be able to do it, that's the moment he began to shine as a hero.

I don't have much to say about the rest of the movie. Everything felt smart and tight. The mix of future tech with old tech in the battles was wonderful. The snappy dialogue had me glued. Tommy Lee Jones...enough said. Actually, no, not enough. This cast was awesome all the way through. I couldn't believe that I kept recognizing actors, even minor characters.

Good stuff, Hollywood. More please!
