Weaving (Australia's second-favourite son, naturally wedged between Geoffrey Rush and Hugh Jackman) seems to have villainous performances down to a tee by now, and an impressive German accent to boot. Rogers goes through the motions, letting his stunts speak louder than his words. The acting is generally without fault across the board. Having become the poster boy for the Allies in the midst of World War II, the Cap is tasked with thwarting Johann Schmidt (Hugo Weaving) an ambitious Nazi who has cut ties with Hitler and formed his own army of hi-tech super soldiers.
Enter Colonel Phillips (Tommy Lee Jones) and Doctor Erskine (Stanley Tucci) who arrange to have Rogers injected with a serum that gives him speed and strength beyond that of any normal human. Indeed, the only attribute keeping him from the military service he so desperately wishes to partake in is his physical presence. Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) is a wimpy-looking young man with the heart of a lion. I would consider Captain America, the last film to round out the team of Avengers, on par with Iron Man, albeit for different reasons. In between the lacklustre Hulk and average Thor, Marvel Studios released Iron Man, a thoroughly enjoyable superhero film driven by perfect casting, tight pacing and well-scripted characters (well, about as good as they can get for blockbusters anyway.
