Even next to Thor, a movie about a space god with a magic hammer, Captain America: The First Avenger was always going to be one of Marvel's trickiest properties to do justice to. Here's what amounts to my review, in musical form.
This review should only be read when accompanied by this music.
Oily chest!

Pure charisma!
Action scenes!
Exploding shit!
Cool aesthetic!
Rocketeer!

Nice rack!

Kissing scene!
Tommy Lee Jones!
Surly bastard!
Howard Stark!

Hugo Weaving!
Being evil!
Stupid henchmen!
Crappy make-up!
Musical number!
Strangely good!
Alan Menken!
Oscar nom!

Dark and dingy!
Snow level!

Kinda gay!
Not a failure!
Awesome cast!
Worth seeing?
Thor beater?
