I am going to have to disagree with VFF's assessment of the movie.

While the 3D was not needed, I thought it was another very good entry into the Marvel?Avengers series of movies.

i loved the first hour of the movie as Rogers changed from a scrawny weakling into America's Hero. There was also a few added comic elements that I thought worked well with the pulp vibe the movie gave off. The second hour was not as good as the first, as it seemed a bit too easy, and Cap was barely challenged for the most part.

I thought Weaving was almost picture perfect as Red Skull. The part could of filled in a tad better, but it's really hard to develop so many characters in an origin story.

The one part I did not like was the ending. Just felt like he accepted the transformation of his life too easily. In the past origin re-telling's of Captain America he has never accepted the new situation that easily. Really wish they put more time into it.

I'd rate in somewhere between a 7.5 and an 8. Not as good as First Class, but a bit better than Thor. Right now on Rottentomatoes it is only at 71%, but it does have an average rating of 6.8 (much higher than most movies of its ilk).

I hope everyone checks it out so it can beat out Harry Potter on the weekend. Just avoid the 3D, as I probably rated it a bit lower as a result of the added 3D crap alone. Cap is my boy after all. Can't wait to see him in The Avengers.
