The Kernel take
A 66 Metascore is respectable enough for a $140M superhero origin story, and the $370.57M worldwide gross suggests audiences were less concerned with critical consensus than the studio's faith in the property.
Director track record: Joe Johnston
Captain America: The First Avenger (66) sits well above Joe Johnston's own 51.4-point average across 8 scored films — a significant uptick for a director whose best prior work, October Sky (71), this film trails.
Lead track record: Chris Evans
The film marks a high point for Chris Evans among his 24 scored roles, sitting well above his 50.1-point average, though it falls short of his best-reviewed performance in Snowpiercer (84).
