This is a great movie. It has a great story lines It also has great acting. It is very fast past. The Avengers it better. But still this is a great movie. See it. It is one of the best movies ever.

I personally liked Captain America, I liked the whole time frame it was in. Seeing pies do that is always cool in my opinion. The actors played their roles well, but none are over the top fantastic. The story of Captain America I'd kind of a sad one at first but then it gets better. Steve is a wuss with a big heart to day the least, then he gets the super soldier serum and gets shredded and is able to go into war. The beginning is good and the middle is stronger. We see Cap fighting Nazis and then we're shot to the finale to quickly with Red Skull. Not that it wasn't bad or that Steve's sacrifice wasn't sad it just came to quickly.

I'm watching all the MCU movies, most of which for the first time, and this is the first one I watched because this one technically takes place way before the other instalments.It's retro atmosphere is nice to look at along with Chris Evans' good looks, but Captain America seems to be less of a superhero film and more of a World War II film that falls flat of action and a good plot twist.

Captain America: The First Avenger is full of heart, fun, and nostalgic throwbacks to the 1940's that make for an amazing movie experience. Chris Evans was a great casting decision for Steve Rogers. He's an innocent man who's good for the sake of good and he brings an amount of heart to the film that few comic book movies have ever been able to match. Steve Rogers succeeds as a protagonist in every way he can and you empathize with him in a very impactful way. Stanley Tucci's Dr. Erskine highlights Steve's values and solidifies them in your mind and Steve's mind so that you both never forget what he fights for. The tone perfectly captures the spirit of the 1940's, from Captain America's nationwide tour to names like Gilmore Harge, the film has a whimsical vibe to it. The love story between Steve and Peggy Carter is one of the best, and is very heartbreaking. Hayley Atwell brings a likability to Peggy that is exceptionally done. The cast a whole is remarkable. Dominic Cooper fits into Howard Stark as much Robert Downey Jr. to Tony Stark. Sebastian Stan has great chemistry with Chris Evans, giving you a sense that the two of them are great friends from the first time they share a scene together. Hugo Weaving's Red Skull is one of the best marvel villains who poses a great physical threat to the Captain America. He's a very memorable villain. Other performances like Tommy Lee Jones, Toby Jones, and the howling commandos build a great surrounding of characters to watch interact with Steve. The score is the best in the entire marvel universe, enhancing the old wartime tone that makes the movie so great. And the suit... the suit that he wears into battle is great. It's a good blend of the comic version and a war suit. But the best suit and by far my favorite Cap suit is the suit he wears when he tours the country selling war bonds. The old fashioned outfit looks so cool in the context in the movie. I'd love if he wore that suit in all his movies. Overall, Captain America: The First Avenger is an amazing and heartfelt wartime adventure with memorable characters and powerful moments that induce thrilling goosebumps. So I give it a 9.0
