Took the family to see Captain America this past weekend, and we had a good time. The movie is a summer blow-em-up blockbuster with a lot of action and explosion and spectacle. It’s definitely what my wife would call a ‘comic-book’ movie. Chris Evans does a good job as Captain America, and Hugo Weaving is a lot of fun as the Red Skull. However, the real applause should go to the effects folks who made Evans into the skinny pre-super version of Steve Rogers.
My only complaint would be that the movie ends right when you’re ready for the next chapter. Of course, if you stay for the clip at the end of the credits, you can see that the real payoff comes next summer…
