Captain America

I've seen Captain America twice now. It's being touted as the best Marvel superhero film. (Buzz says that Chris Nolan's Dark Knight is best. Get outta town!) I'd disagree. I still think that Spiderman 2 fills that slot, and I would say that I liked Thor better (folklorist. Yeah. It'll happen.)

All that is not to say that I didn't like Captain America. As a matter of fact, Chris Evans gets my award for best actor in a superhero movie. This movie is not about a great cast. This movie is about a great performance.

There are other really good performances in this movie. Tommy Lee Jones plays himself to solid affect. Hugo Weaving is a tad over the top, but it's necessary to be over the top to emote through a red skull mask. Stanley Tucci shines in his brief role as Cap's fatherly creator. And Hayley Atwell's cool British agent is a performance that rivals Evans'.

But Chris Evans owns this film. As he should.

I'll be writing about rollers (yes, rollers!) next.
