Captain America

Put off seeing this one in favor of Cowboys and Aliens - wow what a mistake THAT was!! Captain America comes after a string of not so great - not even good - super hero movie disappointments, but thankfully this one gets things back on track!

This is another in the line of Avengers movies (Hulk, Thor, Ironman) and it's a good one! The story is solid, the characters are excellent and the actors and visuals - wonderful. Tommy Lee Jones is refreshingly himself - the witty, the natural, the best lines in the movie Tommy Lee Jones!

Stanley Tucci is another favorite - nice to see his talents used here. And of course the star of the show - Chris Evans - with his spectacular pecs and abs, some very good acting, and some lovely special effects with him in the first half of the film.

And as usual, there is a cameo of Stan Lee! :) Always fun to note those.

There is action, a great villain (played by the super talented Hugo Weaving), humor, and fun. What else do you go to a super hero movie for?

Several of the other Avengers have become a "Meh" but now I'm amped for The Avengers to come out! May 2012. Be there or be square.

When you go see Captain America, stay past the (really) long credits for a sneak peak at The Avengers. It, of course, stars Samuel L. Jackson. Funny, I thought of him several times during this movie, but a little redder than usual. ;)

This one gets a "5"!

Pueblo Tinseltown was the place. Ryne was at the ticket booth and everyone was doing great for a fairly busy (rainy) Wednesday.
