Does Tommy Lee Jones bring his own writers to the movies? At some point toward the end of “Captain America,’’ the Army colonel he plays gets some interrogation time with a runty Nazi scientist (Toby Jones, no conceivable relation). “You’re trying to intimidate me,’’ says the scientist. “I bought you dinner,’’ replies the colonel. Only he doesn’t simply say it. He performs it with all the brusque, macho, indolent comic authority that we recognize as “Tommy Lee Jones.’’ This is what the ongoing onslaught of comic book movies lacks: stars. Real stars. Robert Downey Jr. is the exception when he should be the rule. It’s possible we take these movies for granted because the marketing tells us we should.
