    Captain America: The First Avenger

    Synopsis

    Steve Rogers goes through a experimental procedure and becomes Captain America. Along the way, he fights the Red Skull and his HYDRA troops.

    The Good

    Ever 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 skinny Chris as his main character attempts to join the war and defeat the evil Germans. Hugo Weaving turned out to be a better Red Skull than the old classic movie version. You can see how this evil character was obsessed with power. I wonder if he was actually eliminated in the end because the Tesseract can do so many wonderous things rather than enhancing HYDRA technology. As for the Tessaract, it's interesting to notice how this object was tied to Norse mythology. The rest of the main characters were loveable to watch especially Dum Dum Dugan. But how will he fit into SHIELD and other Marvel cinematic movies? Well, we may have to find out. Because I really loved to see where this character goes. I also liked the appearance of Tony Stark's father, Howard Stark as he helps Cap in defeating the HYDRA organization. He has the striking resemblance as his future son and Iron Man. Also, the fate of Bucky is yet to be known and we all know how that will turn out to be.

    The Bad

    What's so bad about throwing a shield against HYDRA? Nothing.

    The Verdict

    This movie is a must-see for Captain America and comic book fans. New non-readers will also be interested to watch this movie. Forget the Chris Evans' former flame star. Because we got our very own best Super-Soldier in town. Cap throws his shield onto the Red Skull five times out of five.

      One Of The Best Comic Movies Ever Made 0

      Captain America: The First Avenger by shawn87 on July 23, 2011

      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 ...

      Captain America: The First Avenger by silverzeo on July 23, 2011

      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...
