No, Alien was creepy horror, suspense, and mood. Aliens was marines running around in full armor.
CA:TFA was "OK, when is he going to start being Captain America?" Half hour in? Nope, not yet. Hour in? Nope, not yet. 90 minutes in? Nope. Hey, 105 minutes in, he finally starts to kick butt. And then 10 minutes later, we're back to ridiculous emo drama that was so wonderfully spoofed in "How It Should Have Ended." And the villain was totally impersonal and undefined unless you read the comics and already knew everything. The closest thing to an actual hero in the movie was Stark--he risked his life without any super powers or equipment.
