Captain America is that rare comic book movie that manages to strike the right balance between staying true to its source and being accessible to people who have never read the comics.
Chris Evans is great in the role, bringing the type of charisma you need to wear a colorful outfit while punching bad guys and cracking one-liners. The supporting cast are all excellent in their roles, and the film itself is equally great as a supporting role to the upcoming Avengers film.
It may not win any awards for best screenplay or director, but it's a whole lot of fun for a summer action film.
