trailers for Spidey and Rise of Planet of the apes, Spidey trailer will make you dizzy.
I must let it be known that I know very little about Captain America.

This was a good movie and very photographic in nature which I love to me every still from a movie should be poster worthy,
Tommy Lee Jones is the perfect WW2 leader. Hugo Weaving did an amazing job as the Red Skull. Hydra troops looked great as did their weapons. The 40's Agent Carter was a knockout and I couldn't take my eyes off her then again I have a weakness for Brit accents. Kudos To Hayley Atwell especially for that scene where the Red Skull flies away.

yes there is a bonus scene at the end of the credits! the trailer for next years Avenger movie, it moved kinda fast so I didn't catch much detail.

the 1940's is my favorite historical era so maybe I am a little biased.
There were no huge over the top action scenes and I am glad. I never liked the characters from Shield in the comics but in this they played beautifully on screen.
Costumes were great.
Another point here is that they didn't shy away from the patriotism and the Captain America theme. In fact they played it up. Cap is a true blue American hero, flags and red white and blue are all over in this movie.
I do hope it does well so that Hollywood can finally get over that reluctance they have to make "American" movies.
Yes Stan the man does his usual cameo and the whole audience laughed.
I did not see this in 3D either it was just fine in 2D.
I had shades of Roadblock running through my head when I saw Gabriel Jones lugging a 30 cal around. Dum Dum Dugan was spot on as far as likeness.
I will most likely buy this DVD

Just watched Captain America in 2d.
Great movie, I like the "Ultimates" costume. I'd have preferred more nazis and less Hydra.
Great use of real WWII german prototypes that made a cameo in the movie:

This is next on my list after Transformers (I know, what's taking so long?) and Cowboys & Aliens. Capt. A. looks nice and gritty.
