Captain America. Traditional boy scout comic book superhero. Boyscout by profession. There's little to not like about this particularly naive boy scout, and the movie itself does not disappoint.
Cap is sufficiently well known that it's fairly challenging to spin a reimagination of his origins. This movie serves that purpose, and throws in oodles of humor to boot. The acting was good, and the story was build up with sufficient context to please even non-fans. It is also refreshing to see how the romance ends in this movie (those knowing me will know what to expect), and that scores points as well.
On the flip side, there really is little going against it. I suppose you could regard the usual comic book physics as implausible to impossible, and one who's a stickler for realism should steer clear of this one. Then again, the over the top action and true Cap patriotism are adequate to more than make up for it.
I'd say the movie deserves a 7.5/10. Ok maybe at least 8 since the female lead is pretty darned cute.
