![]() ![]() And there are plenty of other moments that fans of the comics will enjoy, too - when pre-makeover Steve uses a garbage can lid as an impromptu defense, for instance, foreshadowing his iconic shield, or the way the movie ends (it would be a spoiler to say more). Speaking of Tony Stark, those who are well-versed in their Marvel history will enjoy seeing Dominic Cooper as Tony's equally suave/tech-savvy father, Howard, in a supporting role. (The movie's a little short on humor overall, actually Captain America's ragtag team of soldiers provides most of the laughs, but they don't get all that much screen time.) Rogers/Captain America is such a good guy, in fact, that he's sometimes a little bland - he's definitely a great role model, but you might find yourself wishing he had a bit of Wolverine or Tony Stark's snark. It's well-paced, patriotic World War II adventure with an undercurrent of sci-fi/fantasy mysticism and a hero who's very easy to root for. ![]() If you crossed Raiders of the Lost Ark with Hellboy and added a dash of Pearl Harbor and director Joe Johnston's own The Rocketeer, you'd be well on your way to creating this movie. ![]()
