Although pretty "by the numbers," Captain America manages to harness enough nostalgic 40's serial spirit that it's a fun and exciting entry into the Marvel universe. I found the pacing uneven at times (the film is certainly front-loaded with Cap's origin story, which makes the second half seem rushed at times,) but the final sequence was fantastic, albeit serving just to set up the Avengers movie.
