Starring: Chris Evans, Hayley Atwell, Tommy Lee Jones, and Hugo Weaving
Directed by: Joe Johnston
Screenplay by: Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely
It's 1943 and the world is at war. So, who's going to save us this time? Captain America!
Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) is a small kid from Brooklyn who just wants to serve his country in the biggest war in history, but he is deemed unfit for service. Fortunately for him, Dr. Abraham Erskine (Stanley Tucci) finds Rogers a candidate for an experiment to make soldiers bigger, faster, and stronger. Rogers accepts and becomes a recruiter for the military.
Meanwhile, the evil Johann Schmidt (Hugo Weaving) is developing weapons which use an extremely powerful technology that he wants his organization, Hydra, to use to win the war. He is on nobody's side but his own.
So, Rogers finds out where his imprisoned friend is and attempts to free him, along with the rest of the brigade. Everyone then believes Rogers is a capable soldier for freeing over 400 men.
Together with friends such as Colonel Chester Phillips (Tommy Lee Jones), Agent Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell), and weapons designer, Howard Stark (Dominic Cooper), will Captain America destroy Schmidt and their weapons? Or, will Schmidt take over the world?
Let me start by saying that this movie plays out a lot like many other superhero movies we have seen. The main character must overcome a challenge and become one who can save the entire world from an inevitable evil. In this way, it's not original.
This film is different from many other superhero movies because Captain America doesn't really have any superpowers. Many people believe in him and he is extremely strong both physically and mentally, making him appear as a superhero.
I like how they put Captain America back in the time period in which he was created, during WWII, making him one of the oldest comic book heroes. So many times, Hollywood puts characters like Spiderman and Superman in a different time period than when they were first created. In this way, Captain America: The First Avenger feels more authentic than other superhero movies.
Overall, this film isn't the best superhero movie from this year. But it's certainly worth seeing if you're a fan of comic books. Also, I advise that you stay through the credits.
I'm giving Captain America a B.
