Chris Evans is the only thing on this film I still need to be convinced by...

What about the director??

[dnwilliams]

I'm confident he'll do a good job. Jumanji, Pagemaster and Honey I Shrunk the Kids are really well made films in my opinion, two of them classics. Then he's got cult favourite The Rocketeer on top of that - better than anything Jon Favreau had on his CV before making Iron Man.

The only Jon Favreau movie I'd seen prior to Iron Man was Elf, and I have to say I thought it was very well made.

Friends who saw Wolfman said it was a disaster, often laugh out loud funny. Captain America is tricky material. Jumanji I really liked, but that feels like a long time ago.
