After this week's disappointing Transformers 3, I liked Captain America: The First Avenger. Better than Thor, even. There's no post-credits scene, but we do have...the Wilhelm scream, Stan Lee cameo, some other nods to the Marvel-verse, Tommy Lee Jones, Hugo Weaving, a nice uplifting mid-movie scene where Cap goes and saves a bunch of people, a plausible explanation of Captain America's costume, and various other niceties. Hopefully you can see before it goes out.
Also, saw The Amazing Spider-Man trailer. It looks okay, but the original Spider-Man film was just released 10 years ago (well, by the time TASM comes out, it will be) and Spider-Man 3 is in recent memory (trust me, the book makes a lot more sense). A bit tragic, in a way, as S-M3 was supposed to be amazing, but ended up killing off the series. Also hurting TASM's prospects is the expensive and poorly reviewed (but curiously a hit) Broadway Spider-Man production, and the continuing failures of Newspaper Spider-Man (available at the Chron).
