Surprisingly, this hit all the right notes for me. It had a good mix of plenty of action, some unexpected twists and very relevant, meaningful themes at the moment (i.e. the loss of privacy and government spying). The acting was good enough for me to care about the story (admittedly, it was straight forward) and the film spends a bit more time creating some depth to Captain America, Nick Fury and The Black Widow. Chris Evans is more an more believable in the role as the films in the Marvel series progress and I enjoyed this a lot more than Captain America: The First Avenger. Along with Spider-Man 2 and Iron Man, this is clearly one of the better entries from the Marvel franchise.
