Rankings:

Superhero Moment
4/5

My favorite moment was Steve jumping on the grenade, but the most heroic was him chasing down the German assassin.

Casting
4/5

I’ll admit, I famously didn’t think this was a good choice.

I was wrong.

Costume
3/5

Comic accurate, though I don’t care for this particular one.

Theme Song
3/5

Notes

It has to say something about the quality of these movies that it’s so good, and still only the third best in the series.
