Saw Captain America: The First Avenger yesterday afternoon. It was pretty unremarkable, definitely one of those movies that you don't feel moved to see again but neither do you feel like your time was necessarily wasted. Chris Evans is a great choice for Steve Rogers, in that he's rather bland. So there's that.

But. BUT!! After the credits, we got a great Avengers teaser trailer. Loki! More half-naked Thor! Hawkeye! Tony Stark being Robert Downey Jr. Tony Stark! Loving it. Can't wait until next summer.

and then I came home and totes started re-reading Steve Rogers/Tony Stark buddy fic. Besties FTW!! Civil War? What's that? *ignores*

If you're not a fan of comic adaptations for superhero films Captain America is definitely not going to convert you. There were a number of groan-worthy moments (how fortuitous that, just as in Thor, the hero has a multicultural band of friends), and Chris Evans really was quite forgettable. So, yes.
