Captain America has always been my least favorite “hero” because he seems a bit of a dud. But the ole Captain has matured; maybe his testosterone has increased along with his muscles—whatever, he’s worthy of a solo adventure and contrary to what history might suggest, a sequel can be better than the original.

Thor 2 is the classic "man" movie: superheroes, super powers, super hair. But what's not so super? Saving a woman who could obviously save herself.

The summer brings an action and laugh-filled movie list.
