It was good.

Captain America, as a character, is basically A Nice Guy. They could have easily made it cheesy and campy or gone the other way and changed everything to make it “edgy” but they didn’t. They even got a believable reason for the dorky costume.

I like all the nods they had to fans with the side characters, though I wised they had at least introduced the Howling Commandos by name as, unless you read the comics, you would have no clue who they were.(I so want to see a movie about them.) As it was I could only remember Dum Dum’s name, though I suppose it doesn’t matter as they were just there to basically be bunch-of-army-guys-for-Steve-to-hang-around-with.

And the Hydra salute was ridiculous though it still kind of fit them. It had a whole ‘well Hitler has a one handed salute and I’m totally better then Hitler. I’m going to have a two handed salute’ vibe to the thing.

I also loved how they got the punched-Hitler-in-the-face thing in.

 

 

A very good movie and here’s hoping the Avengers movie lives up to it’s promise.
