I think I have a strong investment in the movie because I really got "into" the books. I will say, the very end of the movie after the battle is over.... my fiance and I made fun of the movie, thought it was epic until that part.
I will say, I hope Rickman gets some recognition for his performance, he's been so good as the bad guy for so long (Die Hard, Robin Hood-Prince of Thieves.) I can't say enough good things about him.... and upon looking at Wikipedia, he's 65! I thought he was younger....

Captain America-The First Avenger
It was a solid flick, and the fact that Marvel cut down on the American Propaganda and made it more of the little guy versus the bully was an excellent choice to appeal to a wider audience, and albeit, they also flaunted certain Patriotic tendencies that Captain America has.... such as the kicking chorus line of ladies.... with the Cap knocking out Hitler.... very well done, great action, all around a movie worth watching!
