Captain America: The First Avenger User Reviews

Film: Captain America: The First Avenger Director: Joe Johnston Written By: Christopher Markus, Stephen McFeely (Screenplay) Distributor: Paramount Pictures Run Time: 2 hours 4 minutes Starring: Chris Evans, Hayley Atwell, Tommy Lee Jones, Hugo Weaving It works.   That’s the best way I can start the opening paragraph of this ...

When the good guy is a little guy, you know he will use his wits to defeat the big bad guy and win in the end. When the good guy possesses such mindful tactics and is still jacked up with super soldier serum, the bad guys have no chance. Once ...

"Captain America: The First Avenger" begins with a mistake, though I would feel dishonest if I held the film itself accountable for it. Ever since a film of "The Avengers" came into fruition, pretty much every single Marvel movie in existence ceased being stand alone films and instead became preludes ...

I finally got to see Captain America last night and I must say that after seeing most of the trailers I was looking forward to it. It is a shame then that I left the theatre feeling a bit let down by some of the choices made in the film ...

'Captain America: The First Avenger', has been the biggest surprise of the year for me thus far. Leading up to this summer I was not excited for either 'Thor' or 'Captain America'. The trailers made them look cool, but after the lackluster 'Iron Man 2', I was a bit wary ...

Captain America finally makes it to the screen. He may be the 'first' Avenger (and even predate Marvel Comics), but he's the last one to get a movie (if we discount a few low budget attempts at a Cpt.A. film). It's not surprising that in a day and age when ...

One comment often made by critics about all these recent Marvel superhero films (Iron Man, The Hulk, Thor and now Captain America), is how these movies just feel like adverts for the upcoming 2012 hero-fest of The Avengers. This comment previously has never failed to piss me off: sure these ...

 The previous month as we all know is America's celebrated holiday, July the 4th and what we see is a number of themed movies releasing in the month known for explosives, liberty and apple pie. One of those movies is Transformers: Dark of the Moon which can be fully responsible ...

Sometimes you see a movie that makes you forget what the point of the medium is. Are people actually trying to tell stories? Or do they only ever get made to make money. It's probably somewhere in the middle for everything, and of course certain films have more artistic purpose ...

Being a fan of Jack Kirby you would think I would love all versions of Captain America.  I don't hate the character, I respect Steve Rogers a lot. Books like Civil War I cheered against him since I agreed with Tony.  Brubakers run with Bucky I realized like how Grant ...

Captain America: The First Avenger swings into a summer already crowded with not only super hero films, but three Marvel Studios films.  However, I didn't think it was possible at this point, but Captain America is almost the best of these three films, and they were all pretty damn good. ...

I went into Captain America with no expectations as I've never been much of a fan of the character but I can say I was pleasantly surprised with Joe Johnston's film as it turned out to be more a old school kind of blockbuster, almost like one of Johnston's earlier ...

 So first of all, let me say I did actually like the movie, but that's it. I just liked it. Before I even begin, let me say that I've never read any of the Captain America comics and really know barely anything about him. I went to go see this ...

Far and away the best Captain America movie made. It was a great film that really took Cap back to his roots with World War II and his origins unlike all of the previous movies which focuses more on his modern day career. I particularly liked the care that Dr. ...

Captain America: The First Avenger is the final film in the Marvel Film Universe before the long-awaited The Avengers hits theaters next summer. And just as the other films they've produced, Marvel delivers. Heading into this movie I was curious how a superhero film taking place during World War II would work ...

Captain America could of turned out very very bad, Director Joe Johnston dosen't exactly have the best record mixed with Chris Evans, who isn't exactly known for anything other than being Johny Storm, and you have some doubts. Throw in the decision to make it a period piece thats supposed ...

If there's one thing that frustrates me more than anything else in Hollywood, it's the industry's ability to downgrade fantastical concepts to generic and mundane standards. Look no further than Fantastic Four or Catwoman for examples of this criminal offense against creative minds. Marvel Comics has had a particularly off-and-on ...

Watching Captain America, it’s hard to believe that both the Cap and his fellow crime-fighting hero from a different universe, Batman were produced from the same era. Yet looking back, both share the same kooky, somewhat terribly written, pseudo-patriotic propaganda comic appeal that, at least for comic books’ key demographic ...

While I didn't believe any superhero this year would beat X-Men: First Class in pure entertainment value, I had high hopes for Captain America: The First Avenger. So, does Captain America deliver? Well, yes it does - it's a damn good summer blockbuster with two elements that other films have ...

Despite Cap being one of my very favorite comic book characters ever, I had little faith in the ability of anybody being able to bring him to life on the silver screen. Regardless of my affection for ol' Steve Rogers, it's just a little tough to picture the red, white, ...

Captain : The First Avenger is the last of the four characters in The Avengers movie that will have a stand alone movie (at least before The Avengers comes out). It follows the fantastic Iron Man, a surprisingly decent Incredible Hulk, a decidedly meh Iron Man 2, and an amazing ...

I am a card-carrying geek in many respects, but I have never been much of a comics fanboy. I read some DC comics as a kid, but I didn’t follow anything after age ten. I was only aware of the major characters, and had no idea of “story arcs.” My ...

Having just come back from a preview screening of Captain America I want to say that I believe the question after seeing this film won't be did you like it or not, it will be more "where in the marvel studios pantheon is it going to rank?"; and because I ...
