Captain America: The First Avenger is a mildly enjoyable period romp where some staid action and the tawdry whiff of prequel is just about held together by a decent script and likeable characters. Very much a popcorn film; you might enjoy it at the time but you’re probably not going to reminisce about it later.
Vampires seemed to be the cool new monsters these days so it’s nice to see werewolves getting in on the action. Benicio Del Toro stars and Joe Johnston (The Rocketeer, Jumanji and, er, Jurassic Park 3) directs.
