Captain America

I doubted that they’d be able pull off a superhero as corny as Captain America in this post WW2 propaganda era, but by golly Joe Johnson proved me wrong. Chris Evans does an admirable job as Steve Rogers, utilising some freaky voodoo witchcraft to thin himself down in his pre-Capt. state. However, despite the straight-up fun action-filled venturing and some geek-out-worthy hints to The Avengers, there’s not much to our protagonist, shoehorning a blatant “it’s not what it looks like” scene to manufacture some conflict. It’s still a very enjoyable film, just not on the Iron Man or Thor level. 

WATCHABLE

  1. Liking the short reviews. I didn't think they could make Captain America work for a modern audience either. They did a good job.
