Okay --
What does everybody think about Chris Evans being named the new Captain America?
Frankly, I thought he turned in the best work of all his fellow actors in the two "Fantastic Four" moves. Granted, that's not saying a lot as the first movie had moments and the second was just bad.
The interesting thing here is that down the road, as Marvel prepares to have all these movies feed into the big "Avengers" film, Chris Evans will have to play a lot off of Robert Downey, Jr, as Captain America and Ironman are very much intertwined in the canon of the Avengers. The plus side for me on this -- these actors seem to approach this material without taking themselves too seriously. There's a bit of lightness and toungue in cheek in some of their performances, becoming only intense when the moment in the story calls for it.
So, my first response is I sort of like this pick...
Thoughts?
