At the Movies: 'Captain America' is a solid, old-fashioned film
By CHRISTY LEMIRE

Let Tony Stark make the wisecracks and Nick Fury give the intimidating commands.
As Steve Rogers, Chris Evans brings an earnest dignity and intelligence to “Captain America: The First Avenger,” the final Marvel Comics set-up for next summer's all-star blockbuster “The Avengers.” There's little humor here outside a few moments in which this superhero discovers the full breadth of his powers and the presence of Tommy Lee Jones, who shows up and does that bemused, condescending thing he can do in his sleep.
