Captain America: The First Avenger

It wasn't on my "I really want to see this film" list, but I went, yesterday, to see the earliest and latest Avengers picture.  Here's my short review:

A powerful story in a well-crafted thoroughly enjoyable film.

Here's  a little more:

I thought I'd experience something that felt a whole lot more like a comic book.  Instead I saw great characters, a story that moved along well, and incredible special effects.
Three favorites:  Chris Evans, Hayley Atwell, and Toby Jones
One of the reasons I wasn't thrilled about seeing this film was that I thought it would come off too cheesy.  The filmmakers anticipated my objection and answered it well!
Yes -- stick around until the end of the credits.

The Avengers -- 2012.
