Captain America: The First Avenger

This has to be one of the most rubbish films I have ever seen, I could really go to town and pick it apart but I will just say it takes an hour before it even gets going,respected UK/US cast just can't help this boring tripe. It was so dull I was watching the DVD counter more than the film praying for the end and I never do that. You've been warned !

I have not seen anything from captain america in the past, to be honest I had no high hopes..
But the story is great, the characters are brilliant!
I love world was 2 associated movies.
Looking forward to seeing him again!

I knew going in to this film that I probably wouldn't enjoy it as much as the other marvel produced films (Iron Man 1+2, Thor and Hulk. You need to see this film to build up the story for the Avengers film in 2012 but apart from that I do not see any reason to see this. I did not feel any emotion during this film for any of the relationships between characters and the whole thing plays out like an old James Bond film. Chris Evans was a bad choice and the story was very slow and boring at times. Captain America does not stand up to the other films leading to Avengers. The only saving grace to this film is that the story is very true to the comics (unlike every Fox released Marvel film). AVENGERS ASSEMBLE !

I was very fortunate to be able to visit the set of Captain America when it was filmed in Manchester (which doubled up for the streets of Brooklyn) and was impressed with the detail that the set designers had gone in to replicating 1940s shop fronts, classic cars, and typical street signs etc.
Thought Captain America was not as well known to me here in the UK as say comic book hero Superman, I enjoyed the film as I no concept of the character. The plotlines were structured and believable and there were some good set pieces, and, Oh what an ending
With rousing music by Alan Silvestri, and snappy directing by Joe Johnson ( who did another underrated classic The Rocketeer ) I would recommend this for anyone who is into Saturday Matinee stuff , so, turn the sound up loud , turn off your phone , and enjoy 2 hours of fun & adventure

we all know marvel movies are for the younger generation aswell as the older but this is to much like a cartoon..script acting and storyline is poor compared to other marvel movies..the certificate says 12 and above..im not usually one to moan and i know these kind of movies are just pure fantasy but come on we need a good bit of acting and a half descent storyline..which this movie showed neither.. word is captain america will be alongside the likes of thor and iron man in the new avengers movie next year hes going to have to up his game if hes to compete with the big boys..because at the momment hes little to soft round the edges..

This is by far the best Marvel comic book film of the year, a fantastic movement from comic to screen, Chris Evans is pretty perfect in the lead role and brings allot to the character, Hugo weaving is absolutely brilliant as the villain red skull making him the most awesome villain in movies 2011 hands down!! The story is clever and the ending is very set up for the forth coming Avengers in 2012. And the special effects are very good too, red skulls make-up is fantastic! This stands out much more than any marvel film ever made probably because its more real and down to earth. A must see for any comic fan!!

Set back in the day where you go anywhere on the planet and announce you were American and proud and not be laughed at, assasinated or taken hostage!
Captain America The First Avenger is the film that is to set the final foundation for the forth coming Avengers movie.
The biggest problem with this movie is not to turn it into a flag wearer into a flag waver and to be honest this mission is a succuss.
The fim start with a super skinny Chris Evens who they have somehow made look like a skinny version of Gollum, but the character Steve Rogers is so patriotic of his country is devestated no being able to fight for the in WWII. Until he is brought into the secret project of making a super soldier that makes him ultra-buff and Captain America is born. The film plays it very clever as the original comic book character was designed as a propoganda tool for America much the same way Superman was during WWII, and Rodgers being dishearted by all this decides to fight the Nazi war machine. Credit also to include Tony Starks (Ironman) Dad's involvment into the project and the odd nod to Thor. The scene stealer is Hugo Weaving as the evil Red Skull, who is just like the old comic book bad guys as he has no reason or back story to his evilness , he just is and wants to see the world burn.
The action is brilliant, but a little uneven in paceing, but you forget all this once Captian Amarica chins a bad guy with his shield, you just end up wanting one. Evens is a great lead and tones down the brash of his earlier Marvel incarnation in the Fantastic Four. Credit for the direction by Joe Johnson as the film has a great sense of fun, but does make an impact in the action that does feel like it's straight out of the first three Raiders movies.The 40's setting is also perfectly captured and all leads up to a pull out all the stops finale and then quietns down for a clever we judged farewell.
Of course, Cap's fate is already decided and like Thor, Ironman and co, he'll return in Summer 2012's The Avengers.
Captain America tackles the Marvel Movie mash up ( The Avengers) without tripping over too many signpost's, though the reference to Odin does serve as a reminder that Captain America is great but does not quite to mange to hit the nail on the head aswell as Thor.
The final piece of the Avengers falls well into place, great acting, some brilliant bouts of action but a few too many "we're all heroes inside" comments, but it's no star spangled sick bag either.
Brilliant comic book fun!

Cant belive the reviews its a terriable film! action was nonexistent and when you did get some action it was poor plus germans with lazer guns in 1942 was just stupid. The film was a big let down and the way the villian dies is laughable avoid at all costs!!!

from iron man ending we all knew of the avengers movie and knew there had to be captain america on it way , with thor , iron man , hulk all giving us snippets leading up to avengers also captain america we had the shield in iron man 1 and 2 , we saw him frozen in ice in deleted scene of the hulk and now it came the first avenger . with chris evans turning the role down twice before finally accepting to take on the Cap , was he the perfect role ? the answer is yes from the offset it starts of with a small man steve rogers who just wants to join the war , not for power , money , fame but bullies , as he finally gets in with many attempts and is set up for the project to turn him into the hero , once that kicks off its not what he expects after about 20 min of him becoming cap the action kicks in with amazing effects and humour . hugo weaving does well as the red skull who has the power of the cube which he saw at end of thor and with cap and his fellow soldiers is set on quest to destroy red skull and his army . finally we all seen thor , hulk , captain america and iron man now is the time for the avengers movie . just hope it lives up to what we have been shown about the avengers in the other marvel movies . can chris evans pull of leading the team ? only time well tell
