Ok, admittedly The Hulk movies were just disappointing in any light. The second one not as much as the first one, but still.
However, Captain America had it's badass moments, and all the other moments were spent as story builders. The first part shows how Steve is this perfect American patriot guy who was cool guy and not afraid of anything. Then the next part sets up that that guy who believed in him gets shot as well as so there can't be any more super soldiers and thus making Steve the last hope. The next parts are dumb comic relief that do little really but set up his costume, and finally it shows just how badass he is by going in to save all those people, becoming a solider for realsies, and eventually being the ultimate awesome by sacrificing himself for the good of his country. It's a very basic tale of the Hero's Journey, yadda yadda yadda.
To be very honest, these latest Marvel movies, Thor and the Cap have really just been feature length trailers for The Avengers. They knew they were making an Avengers movie, so they're like: "well stuff, Iron Man and the Hulk already have movies, maybe we should do these guys real quick first so we can establish an actor."
