When a mysterious aircraft is found, someone who has been thought to have been lost is found
Captain America:The First Avenger is one the few MCU films that is not tied up with setting up future developments or making reference to past ones.
The film is split in 2 halves. the first how Steve Rogers came to be the ultimate hero and the other his fight with the evil that is HYDRA. The former engages because at some point in our lives we all wish to find the courage face the demons that plague our lives. While the other is a good old fashioned tale of daring do with the good guys winning over the bad ones.
Chris Evans invests Steve Rogers with the same everyman ethos that James Stewart would have done if he had played the role in the 40's. Hayley Atwell plays Peggy Carter as someone who is there to fight the good fight and not just wish the guys well. Hugo Weaving provides the Red Skull the right amount of venom and Tommy Lee Jones as Chester Philips who is cynical at first but comes to respect Cap.
CA:TFA is in the top rank of MCU films by keeping it simple.
