Captain America: The First Avenger


Captain America(Directed By Joe Johnston)




''I don't like bullies. No matter where they come from.''

Well quick heads up about what this movie is about. During the world war 2 a skinny guy called Steve Rogers finally gets his chance to become a soldier, not just any soldier tho, a super soldier. To skip to the point skinny guy turns into huge bulking super hero and trys to save the day .

Well Captain America, where to start. The story, well the story for me was good, not great but good. I liked the whole origin of Captain America and how he came about, its not the best Marvel movie out there, its far from it infact. With the Avengers due out next year, we all know all these superhero movies link together to hopefully make a huge blockbuster. The problem is i think this movie should of been the best of the bunch and its not. Iron Man was fantastic, the Hulk was great and Thor was a good movie aswell. Captain America just didn't do much for me tho, it was a very dull movie. I loved Iron Man for its great story, its humour and because it was cool as fu**. Thor had its humour, its half decent story and was a cool movie, same with The Hulk aswell ( apart from the humour). Captain America just didnt have any of this tho, no coolness at all, no humour, and just a half decent story. Even tho i did like the origin of Captain America it wern't enough to keep me entertained for the rest of the movie.

The cast was okay and i thought Chris Evans would of been perfect for the role, the perfect guy to pull Captain America of....errrmmmm. Chris Evans did great in fantastic Four and made a crappy movie just abit more enjoyable with his performance, but there was none of this here. Tommy Lee Jones was just as loud as ever. The plus side tho was Hayley Atwell was hoootttt.

I feel like all ime doing is being nagative about this movie. Its does have some great fight scenes and its not all that bad, i was just expecting alot more. I wasn't sure weather or not the Avengers was going to work and after seeing this movie i really have my doubt's now. I just Hope Captain America works alot better in the Avengers than he did in this movie.
