Reviews
Captain America First Avenger hasn't aged as well as Iron Man, mostly because of the CGI when Steve is a skinny little guy. It's still a good watch though, just not super fun.
I was a little confused when this came out because prior to this Chris Evans was playing a lot of roles as a charismatic hot guy, and Steve is a little blah personality-wise, but I suppose it's good to branch out.
