I hear CA is one of the better super hero movies to come along for awhile. Might duck in to see it if the heat keeps up.
I think Chris Evans is well cast. I don't know the Captain America comic book franchise, but in this movie, anyway, the character is supposed to be both the stereotypical 98-pound-weakling (although a 98-pound-weakling who never backs down or gives up) and something of an average Joe. Chris Evans is cute, but I think he has a boy-next-door quality to his cuteness that makes him right for this role. If I were a beer drinker, I could see myself comfortably having a beer with Chris Evans.
Incidentally, I noticed someone in a supporting role as one of CA's "team" who looked familiar, but I couldn't quite place him. I watched the credits at the end, then double-checked at IMDb. Turned out the familiar face was Neal McDonough; I didn't quite recognize him because in
CA he's got side whiskers and a big mustache.
And of course there's good ol' reliable Tommy Lee Jones as a gruff army officer.
