There are going to be those in the interwebs who watch the preview below with something less than excitement. They will bemoan how cheezy the special effects and the lighting look, or complain that Chris Evans isn't right for the part. They are wrong on all counts, and they likely need to be reminded of the history of the Captain America franchise when it comes to visual entertainment.
Take a few seconds to watch the most recent preview.
Now...compare this to moments from the 1990 Columbia Tri-Star production.
And...the 1979 television movie.
Captain America (1979) - Opening by Internapse
Given the history of the franchise, the new version looks like it was crafted by the hand of God. My inner child, my nostalgic gen-Xer subconscious, and my hyper critical comic geek super-ego are all in agreement. We will love the new movie, because it will be the best Captain America film produced to date.

I loved it! This trailer got me excited to see the movie. Also, I think Chris Evans looks fine as scrawny Steve Rogers. I’ve seen a few guys with the same proportions so it’s pretty spot on.
I've had the misfortune of seeing the 1990 version a few times but I've never seen the 1979 version before - hilarious.
There is no doubt it will be the best Captain America movie ever made.
If you feel like indulging in the most primo marvel mistake of the nineties you have to check out David Hasselhoff as Nick Fury... Lets hope Marvel never goes back to those dark days :)
