Captain America : The First Avenger
Rating 7 out of 10
When I first saw the previews for this movie I thought it looked kinda lame. A superhero that shoots guns? I thought this would make a good rental. Rocky's birthday came along and that was the movie people wanted to see so I was in. I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised. This is no movie of the year or best superhero movie of the year as some have claimed. But it is an entertaining action packed well acted movie.
Steve Rogers is the sickly skinny young man with the heart of a racehorse. Want's to sign up with the Army and fight the Nazi's, but his body won't let him in. Rogers (played by Chris Evans who also played superhero Johnny Storm in Fantastic Four) gets into a "special" experimental program that injects him with a blue goo that turns him into a chiseled hard body that can leap tanks with a single bound.
His special forces go against the evil Red Skull who is such a bad guy he makes Hitler seem okay. Red Skull is played well by Hugo Weaving (from Matrix and Lord of Rings movies). Always good to see Tommy Lee Jones.
This is a fun movie that's not going to blow you away. The superhero still shoots a gun at bad guys although he does have a cool shield he can throw. It's a good summer movie.
