Saw it on Saturday...it was ok but I was expecting more. Action and battle scenes seemed kind of generic and the villian (Red Skull) didn't really do much outside of look like Skeletor with period face. The story before Steve Rodgers turned into Cap was good, I especially liked the effects they used to make him look so small. Tommy Lee Jones also is great as the drill sergeant. The broadway musical skits with him as the front man was pretty funny, especially when he visits the troops and everyone lays out on him. Overall though, I thought it could have been much better than it was. Thumbs up and worth theater price but didn't live up to potential...be sure to stay after the credits for big Avengers trailer pay off.
