Captain America was great, it had everything a marvel nerd could ask for. The serum, the super soldier abilities, and the accuracy (for the most part) to the comics was pretty freakin' great. Chris Evans played a phenomenal Steve Rogers and the inclusion of characters like Dum-Dum and James "Bucky" Barnes gave plenty of reasons for true blue Cap nerds to feel superior. The action was great and constant while not being over the top (at least not for a comic book movie) and the inclusion of the crazy ahead of their time Hydra (cap's arch nemesis organization) weapons gave way for awesome special effects. Top it all off with a stellar performance by Hugo Weaving (of Mr. Smith and Lord Elrond fame) as the insidious Red Skull and that's a summer blockbuster in any sense of the word.
And as if it couldn't get any better, those who stuck around to the end of the credits (which didn't include know-it-all who claimed he knew they weren't going to show anything because they would have done it earlier) were given a full minute preview of The Avengers movie that is apparently being released in May 2012. If that alone doesn't sell you why the hell are you even reading this? Go. See. This. Movie. Five burning tires out of five, nerdom at its best people.
"Avengers Assemble!"-Capt. America (often)
