Captain America

[Some Stupid Japanese Name]

At this stage you should know exactly what you are getting with comic book movies.

they are all bad

Yeah, i know. I just like when these people walk out of the theater and are all "that was great!" And then a few months later, after the effect of the butter like topping has worn off, they admit that the movie wasnt very good.

Spectacle is like that.

Significantly better than the first and not in a Thor way.

It was fun. So was Thor

[haohmaru]

Thor was decent and pretty funny. I think this movie tops Thor in every way other than humor.

It was fun. So was Thor

This.

Is this new one better enough to actually be good? Or is it just better than the awful first one while still being not good?

Mostly the latter. To sum it up: it's a completely generic summer action movie with a by-the-numbers plot and an almost complete lack of any interesting dialogue.

That being said, generic is a big step up from the first movie so it is a lot better and was at least entertaining if completely forgettable. I'd say the biggest thing this movie has going for it is a main female character who isn't a love interest, if that's your primary concern.

I was a little sad they didn't go full racist and call him Black Falcon instead of just Falcon.

I enjoyed this. They did a good job breaking up the "universe" status quo quite a bit, the action sequences were pretty good (like most action movies/Batman Films these days it felt like a bit of a Heat rip-off at parts). Not as entertaining of an entertainment as The Avengers, but it picks up a lot of likeable cues from it.

Cap is spot-on to the better comic uses of the character, I'm glad all the origin groundwork is done.

Magneto's Kids having a cameo was and is confusing.

Zola was a neat visual! They did a great job keeping the spirit of that design. Batroc The Leaper was neat too.

These Marvel movies make billions at this point, I figure they're getting the 'make the movie entertaining and fun' thing right.

Crossbones was in the film as well.

The directors also credited The Raid as inspiration for the fight scenes.
