Dan Crenshaw was probably right when he said Chris Evans has probably done more to rehabilitate America's image than anything else in the past 20 years.
The Captain America movies are some of the best action movies released in the past two decades with some pretty tight well crafted spy/political espionage aspects. They are movies that simultaneously acknowledge the ugly gross side of America and present a charismatic lead who dares you to believe the bullshit...and goddamn if Chris Evans doesn't sell it.
Just remember though: the patriotism is as bullshit as the superhero antics. Enjoy your cotton candy but just remember not to lose yourself in fantasy and the sweet soothing drug of state capital propaganda.
