Marvel once again delivers 0
I went into Captain America with no expectations as I've never been much of a fan of the character but I can say I was pleasantly surprised with Joe Johnston's film as it turned out to be more a old school kind of blockbuster, almost like one of Johnston's earlier films, The Rocketeer. Steve Rogers prior to exposure to the Super Soldier SerumThe plot of the film is that scrawny Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) wants to join the Army like his friend Bucky and serve his country but is rejected due to ...

The Captain Rocks!!!!!!!!! 0
As a fan of Captain America, I was excited to see this movie and I wasn't disappointed either. The movie showed how Red Skull got the cosmic cube and want he planned to do. We also got to see Steve Rogers how was in the past and showed he was determine to help. He met Dr Abraham Erskine who gave him the Super Solider Serum and was good friend to him until his death. He stopped the assassin, Heinz Kruger and also met Peggy Carter and Tony Stark's father Howard Stark. In the movie, we also had Buc...

It's like SPider-Man & Indiana Jones In One Movie 0
Today I have seen Captain America: First Avenger, and I have to say: It was a fun film to watch. When it first starts out, I kept having this odd feeling I have seen this movie before, and when it was time for Steve to take the Serum, it dawned on me: It was like Spider-Man! I kinda felt like it was cheap of Marvel of not having the Toby McQuire Spider-Man be part of the Avengers plot, as (the way I see it) that the Spider-Man movies help brought back the Superhero Movie Genre, and we wouldn...

Best Marvel Movie Yet? Maybe. 0
First of all, I want to say that this movie might just be the best Marvel movie ever. I won't give away the entire story; I'll just tell you that it's very simple, refreshing, good-guy vs. bad-guy. The actors did a good job overall, and I felt that it was a great way to introduce non-comic-nerds to Captain America. I hardly have any cons to list this time! The bad language was pretty non-intrusive. Cap. kissed a girl he'd never met, and Mr. Stark made several immoral references (like father,...

One Of The Best Comic Movies Ever Made 1
I went into this movie with a few doubts, mostly due to the fact that Steve Rogers was being portrayed by Chris Evans. Not my first choice of actor to represent someone as iconic as Captain America. To my surprise and delight, Evans did in my opinion, an outstanding job portraying Rogers in exactly the fashion he has been written in comics ever since his creation. The movie starts out with a puny Steve Rogers trying to enlist in the war and ends up being denied for the fifth time. He's noticed ...

"Who's got a Goose in a Noose..." 0
Being a fan of Jack Kirby you would think I would love all versions of Captain America. I don't hate the character, I respect Steve Rogers a lot. Books like Civil War I cheered against him since I agreed with Tony. Brubakers run with Bucky I realized like how Grant Morrison was trying to show Batman is more then Bruce Wayne but a symbol, Captain America is more then Steven Rogers. There is only one version of Cap that does scream Steve and that is "The First Avenger" version or World War II C...

The Star-Spangled Man With a Plan 0
Despite Cap being one of my very favorite comic book characters ever, I had little faith in the ability of anybody being able to bring him to life on the silver screen. Regardless of my affection for ol' Steve Rogers, it's just a little tough to picture the red, white, and blue boy scout being taken seriously when given flesh and blood. But somehow, some way, not only is Captain America: The First Avenger a wholly entertaining piece of period fiction and faithful to the hero's long lineage,...

Captain America! 0
I actually saw this movie openning night but didn't know that you could review movies here too(Or knew and forgot) this story takes place during WW2 and is an origin story for Cap. I originally thought this film would be better then Thor but it turned out to be vice versa for me atleast. Good. Despite the previous statement the movie was good just liked Thor better story wise. The opening scene is very good it aludes to the Norse gods & Red Skull. Steve Rodger is portrayed greatly and the c...

H'Amercia, #### yeah! 0
Super nazies, punching, adventure in a period setting.... this is possibly the best war film i've ever seen and, as it happens, one of the finest comic book movies too. Considering the last war movie I saw was Inglorius Bastards, the worst war movie I've ever seen, I now have a best and worst.As someone who has never actually read a proper captain america comic (the closest i've come is Civil War) I don't think I was burdened with familiarity toward the character so I was able to enjoy it on tha...

For fans of oiled manly chests and/or flamethrowers only 0
I originally intended not to review Captain America: The First Avenger, because the film just seemed too nondescript to be bothered with. But upon seeing that it seems to have obtained a five-star rating on Comic Vine, I thought I ought to, just for balance, seeing as my first reaction was something along the lines of 'WHAAAA--?!'. Anyway, there be no spoilers here, so no reader peril is required.Captain America: The First Avenger is this year's last outing from Marvel Entertainment in terms of ...

Jack Kirby would be spinning in his grave 0
I know I said I'd be gone for good cause of all the censorship Nazis on this site but I simply could not hold my tongue for this film. I have waited to see this film for over 3 years ever since the Super soldier serum was shown back in the Incredible hulk back in 2008 and let me just say thank god for the Avengers teaser at the end of the movie or I would have walked away completely disappointed cause this film compared to all the other marvel cinematic universe films that have come out over the...

La ultima parada para The Avengers ha terminado. 0
La ultima parada para The Avengers ha terminado. Captain America : The First Avenger nos presenta a Steve Rogers (Chris Evans), un chico que durante la segunda guerra mundial deseaba luchar por Estados Unidos. Sin embargo el representaba el ideal del soldado ejemplar pero el físico no lo ayudaba. En eso un científico alemán (Stanley Tucci) ve que es el candidato perfecto para ser el nuevo soldado que podría acabar la amenaza de HYDRA con su líder The Red Skull (Hugo Waving).Esta para mi es la pe...

Captain America The First Avenger 0
I like the fact that only a couple of countries took the studio up on the offer to drop the Captain America out of the title.I like the fact that Chris Evans, much like Michael Keaton told everyone they did not know what they were talking about, and created a great character with Cap.This is by far the best of the years Superhero movies, and my favorite movie of the year as i write this. It was fun, funny and exciting. There was enough for us old timers to watch and be in on the joke, as well, a...

A'Merica!! Efff Yeah!! 0
Makes me proud to be an American!“Captain America: The First Avenger” just may be one of the best Marvel movies of all time. I found it as excellent as “The Incredible Hulk”, “Iron Man”, and “Thor”, all on top in my Marvel Studios list. From start to finish, I was hooked to this movie.The opening scene sends us into the Marvel world, with a rescue crew discovering the Captain America Shield buried in ice. We don’t know how it got there, but suffice it to say that, by the end of the movie, there ...

SynopsisSteve Rogers goes through a experimental procedure and becomes Captain America. Along the way, he fights the Red Skull and his HYDRA troops.The GoodEver since Chris Evans' debut as the Human Torch from the FF movies, we don't know how he will turn out to be Captain America. Now, our fears have been wiped out. Because Chris Evans is Captain America. There are many good points I want to say about this movie. It follows the main comic book origin story gradually. It was nice to see the skin...

Loved it! 0
Captain America was such a great film, and not what one would usually expect from a superhero movie! I was sucked in at the very beginning when I saw Chris Evans' surprisingly scrawny body. I kept wondering, "How did they do that". Well 80% of the time, it was Christ Evans' body with special effects. Anyway, I loved Red Skull in this film, he was way more interesting than I thought he would be, and Hugo Weaving did a great job playing the role.I thought it was hilarious how after becoming a supe...

Like a 40s Matinee 0
Captain America finally makes it to the screen. He may be the 'first' Avenger (and even predate Marvel Comics), but he's the last one to get a movie (if we discount the Republic serial and the 70s made-for-TV 'movies'). It's not surprising that in a day and age when the majority of a film's revenue comes from foreign box office, and a time at which America's standing in the world is far lower than it once was, that the powers-that-be chose to make this one last. And, yes, Captain America does li...

Captain America Review 0
I am a HUGE fan of Captain America and this movie did not disappoint. Joe Johnston did a fantastic job directing this and the end, it made me cry like a baby. I hardly ever cry. They had great choices for the main characters as well. Chris Evans is a great actor and has other great movies he's starred in as well, such as Johnny Storm in the Fantastic Four and the Fantastic Four:Rise of the Soul Surfer. Hayley Atwell did a great job as fast as covering Peggy Carter and her attitude was perfected....

A stunning origin story. 0
Captain America: The First Avenger, directed by Joe Johnston. An absolutely stunning origin movie, for one of Marvel's premier superheroes. Captain America was an amazing film. I really liked the story as well as the action, Captain America is an action hero 'nuff said. The montage displaying all his time in world war II from blowing up tanks to knocking nazis out of trees with his shield Captain America busts out the action even better than he did in Avengers. The character was also interesting...
