[film] Captain America: The First Avenger

Lovefilm seems to be intent on sending me all the Marvel films at the moment.

Compared to Iron Man 2, this is a little more like it. It's a straight-up superhero film that definitely suffers from "only one strong woman in the film" syndrome, but it's good straightforward fun that hangs together well.

Of Captain America's squad, the Oriental-looking guy from Fresno jars a bit (even if not interned, I don't think Japanese-Americans were welcome in the army, but I'm happy to be proved wrong). I do, however, like that the black dude is a multi-lingual student of Howard University.
