how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score — the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.
Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.
Read from 58 comments (49 from Metacritic, 9 from TMDB reviews) — 18 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 18 comments. The shaded band is how wide the uncertainty actually is, and it is drawn to scale.
Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

“The pacing is solid, moving through Steve's transformation and early missions without dragging”

“From the very beginning, Joe Johnston's film sets the tone with a still-underrated technical achievement: the seamless VFX techniques employed that transform Chris Evans into the skinny Steve Rogers.”

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“Captain America: The First Avenger is one of the finest movies yet from Marvel Studios, and a big departure in tone and storytelling from most of the films they've made so far. It is a strong indicator that the more willing the studio is to experiment, the more exciting the payoffs can be.”
Drew McWeeny, Hitfix · 100
“It gives you all that you could ask for when you buy a ticket to a thrill ride.”
Shawn Levy, Portland Oregonian · 91
“Johnston and company are aware that introducing a hero means more than showing off his suit and gadgets or building up the universe he will eventually encapsulate. Before any of that, we must care about who he/she is.”
Dan Mecca, The Film Stage · 91
“The most stylish comics-derived entertainment of the year...It's paced and designed for people who won't shrivel up and die if two or three characters take 45 seconds between combat sequences to have a conversation about world domination, or a dame.”
Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune · 88
“The best kind of comic-book movie. It's stylish and spectacular, yet it's rooted in history and human emotions. It's smart yet it's funny. It's wise yet it kicks ass when it has to. Just like the U.S. of A.”
Joe Williams, St. Louis Post-Dispatch · 88

“True to "Captain America," this is the modern (comic book) version of the All American movie. Good guys versus bad guys without a lot of ambiguity. _**NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT**_. This movie is pretty much perfection for the genre. Entertaining A to Z story with high-end Hollywood professional movie making throughout.”
