Comic Book Cap would utterly dominate Movie Cap in terms of "superhuman displays". What did you think that Chris Evans did that's honestly superior to what Cap routinely does in the books? In any case, though, you're not alone in that belief as a lot of my friends who saw Captain America: TFA and the Avengers felt that Cap was "too strong" for what "he should be".
The reality is though that in the books, Captain America has plenty of absurd strength, durability, and reflex feats that are among the best of the street level tier. Peak Humans don't dodge gunfire because they actually "see faster" than bullets. They aren't immune to toxins and poisons due to highly accelerated metabolism. They can't carve out their chest and spill their own guts out and then continue to fight, essentially no selling the injury. They also can't lift telephone polls over their shoulder without effort or hoist up chunks of asphalt from the street and then throw it with enough force to strike the top of a several story building that actually causes part of the ledge/rooftop to break apart.
I honestly don't see any feat from the films that comic book Cap already hasn't done or outdone in spectacular fashion.
