The Marvel Comics slate continues with the pulpy Captain America. Let me get one major negative out of the way. It’s tough to get over the feeling that the film is a giant set up for the Avengers – much more so than Iron Man 2 and Thor was and that hurts it. The story is so simplistic that it seems as if they just wanted to get the film over with and the character introduced for the Avengers film.
