The Perfect Brige to the Avengers

Okay, so I grew up on Captain America comics. I've loved this character for a long time, so I was looking forward to seeing this done and done well.
The story was well built, complete with the origins of the Super Soldier serum, the recruitment of Steve Rogers and the Origin of Hydra and their leader, the Red Skull. Bucky enters the scene early on as Cap's childhood friend, and the reason that he finds for throwing himself into the fray.
There is enough action in this film to satisfy any action movie fan, and a compelling storyline that will keep anyone interested.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Triumph in the midst of tragedy

The loss of Heath Ledger has really become a big part of the story of the making of this movie. Let us not forget that Ledger's final performance was one of the most gripping of his career. Ledger brought an intensity to the Joker that is unmatched. Nicholson's Joker was fabulous, but takes the role in a different direction.
There is a little whimsy in this Joker, but the honest truth is that he comes across as the intense, disturbed, choas hungry villain that haunts Bob Kane's comics. His disappearing pencil trick is fairly impressive too.
Still and all, Bale's Batman is well played, but the "batman voice" is a little over the top, still. Also, the arrival of Harvey Dent, in all of his duality, is almost lost in the pre-movie hype, but is one of the great performances in the film.
