Saw the midnight showing last night.
This is probably Marvel Studios best movie so far.
First off, Chris Evans does a great job of carrying the movie. Very charming and likeable, both as skinny Steve and jacked Cap. Definitely a good choice for the role. Could other actors have done it better? Maybe, but Evans is Cap in my opinion.
Secondly, Hayley Atwell's Peggy Carter was great: strong, confident, capable, and intelligent. I rather enjoyed the subdued love story between Cap and Peggy...most of the time the shoe-horned in love stories in Super Hero films come off as forced and unbelievable, but not so here.
Tommy Lee Jones is awesome. That is all.
Loved the evolution of the costume in the movie too, from the goofy USO costume to the one seen in the trailers.
There were a lot of cool little nods to Cap's history from the comics. Cap punching "Hitler" in the USO show, a close up shot of Armin Zola staring through a retro-TV screen as a nod to his TV face in his stomach from the comics.
A really great summer popcorn film, simply put.
