Just saw Captain America last night! 8)
After the disappointment both Green Lantern and Thor were - it has quite restored my faith in the superhero genre. :grin:
Interestingly I noticed how superbly clever they were in integrating actual footage of buildings and CGI in some scenes. The scenes where Steve Rogers chases the Nazi spy across New York to the docks area were actually filmed in Liverpool (England). The huge warehouse seen and that general area is called Stanley Dock and is in the city's North Docks. The 1902 Stanley Dock Tobacco Warehouse is the largest brick building in the world. Cleverly they manage to insert the Brooklyn Bridge (and distant Statue of Liberty) into the footage. Later you also see footage that looks to me like it is inside some of these Liverpolitan warehouses and also a shot of another mid 20thC concrete (Sugar) warehouse which is also in the same city. I am very familiar with the industrial architecture of that city and that particular area.
Great stuff - on many counts!
