Captain America was quite good indeed, but I think I prefer both Thor and X-men: First Class of this summer's excellent trio of Marvel superhero flicks. While Cap did an impressive job of selling the very-easily-botched premise of the character to a modern audience, the effort to cram everything elegantly into a single movie came at the expense of pathos. It was exciting, funny and engaging - but unfortunately not really ever very moving. Still, I'm very happy with it and easily recommend it.
