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.
An enjoyable outing which stands alone as good, pulpy entertainment with plenty of pulpy action, and some fine performances. There's no real surprises but I feel that this was a character to get behind and cheer on. The pacing towards the end of the second act into the third falls off as tension drains, but up to then it is is solidly old-fashioned Saturday good matinée entertainment. It maybe quite inane but the action is commensurate with the drama which is to its credit. There was no need for over-the-top seizure level CGI.
A few flaws but a great story. It was a very emotional movie with the death of Bucky ( who will come back ) and the freeze of Captain himself.
This was actually a fine movie, and one of the most underrated ones within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Everything was fine from the very start. The story was very interesting. What made this movie stand-out was Captain America's greatest enemy - Red Skull! he was terrific as the villain, and made this movie very watchable. Red Skull looks very frightening, and we're not even sure what exactly happened to him later in the movie. He's one of the most recognizable foes in Marvel. Captain America was also brilliant. He's a true fighter or warrior shall we speak. I liked the ending though where he awakes from his slumber, and finds out where he's at. This movie is like a gateway into "The First Avenger" movie the following year. It makes sense I guess.
