Consider the source folks!

I just say CA and have to admit I enjoyed it a great deal and was more satisfied with it than with the other recent Marvel based films. Lots of folks go into effects, acting, etc. so I'll just ignore that stuff.
I'm reading a lot of reviews critiquing the cliché-ness of the film. To this I just have to shake my head and remind folks that it is based on a comic book, of course it's cliché! There is a reason Trotsky didn't write comics .... aside from him being dead and all that. It's not high art, it's comic books. Others have pointed out the Americanism and over the top Pro-USA propaganda and patriotism. Again - we are talking a comic book that was written during WWII originally and was a Pro-USA propaganda and patriotic comic book! It's kind of like going to a production of Merchant of Venice and complaining that why couldn't it have been done in another city.
While it toyed around with what .... 70 years of on again, off again comic production - a consistent steam of multiple titles since the 1960's - with multiple tellings and retellings, I think they did a bang up of capturing the spirit of Captain America.
That said, stop over thinking and enjoy yourselves.
