Captain America: The First Avenger, a review by Achim

Captain America. The First Avenger

I made a point of seeing Captain America in 2D. Only by making a choice like that we can stop the madness

I quite liked it. I thought they tried hard to walk around the pitfalls that come with a film about a superhero whose name has America in it. I am not easily offended by such things but still noticed how toned down it felt.

I quite enjoyed the origins story in this one; I was not aware that Captain America was/is a man-made superhero. My favorite actor in this was Stanley Tucci as the German scientist who escaped the Nazis to created the program that would create Captain America. Tony Stark's father was pretty much just like him

The best special effect must have been to make Chris Evans so skinny.

While this movie plays during the second world war, it does tie in with the upcoming The Avengers movies. Strongly looking forward to that now.

My Rating: (a weak)

A perfect introduction to the characters, especially Becker. This pilot shows that even though he acts like real ass, Becker has a good side to him when it comes to his profession.
