Captain America:
Like Thor from earlier this summer, this is an extremely likable origin story. Steve Rogers, a scrawny Brooklyn kid with oversized heart and guts, gets injected by some stuff concocted by Stanley Tucci and transforms into Chris Evans. The rest of the story follows Captain America, now with pecs to match his patriotism, as he saves America and the world from the evil Nazi (not that there is any other kind) Red Skull/Hugo Weaving/Mr. Smith. Thor is funnier than Captain America, but Captain America's sincerity is winning nonetheless. This bodes well for the Avengers movie (directed by Joss Whedon!!!). Too bad they got Scarlett Johansson (annoying) and Samuel L. Jackson (more annoying) and Robert Downey Jr. (most annoying) in there. Hope they feature Thor and Captain America prominently and not skew towards the more famous Iron Man. But I have faith in Joss to make it all good. B+
