This is an action film, pure and simple. And the best part is, the makers realised that. Unlike some action movies, Captain America doesn't try to hard to be ‘serious,’ to try and have some sort of deeper meaning. It doesn't take itself to seriously, and excels at being exactly what it is: an action packed, super hero movie. For a superhero movie, the dialogue is surprisingly snappy – witty, even – with only minimal amounts of the inevitable cheesy-ness that plagues this genre. On top of that, the actors play there parts very well. The all-important action sequences are well shot, well done, and very well 3D-ified. Speaking of 3D, if you have all the required bits and pieces to play 3D bluray, this is a must have; the 3D really does enhance the visual experience of watching this film.
