Captain America was done surprisingly well IMO. About as well as you could possibly do a movie for a guy who's costume represents one of the most despised flags outside of his own country in current times and not have it seem incredibly campy.

But I would have to say Iron Man was the best of the 3 listed. Consider the impact it had on Iron Man as a pop culture icon overnight when no one outside of the general comic book fandom really cared about who he was prior.

I've known who Captain America was since I was a kid. Thor, not so much. Iron Man, didn't appeal to me. Since the movie, even I was more compelled to read more about Iron Man/Tony Stark in the comics and he's since become one of my favorite heroes.

As good as both the Thor and Captain America movies were, I just don't feel the pop culture impact of those characters were to the same degree as Iron Man. Robert Downey Jr's Portrayal of Tony Stark was almost equivocal to Heath Ledger's Joker in terms of what the mainstream public think about when hearing the names of the actor's fictional counterparts. That has to hold some weight to it.

I can't wait to reopen this discussion when we can compare the movie trilogies of these characters when they are finally completed. That would be an even better measurement of success.
