Rating: 9/10 (15 September 2013)

A real thrilling fantasy is "Captain America:the First Avenger". It is directed aptly by Joe Johnston. And it was written by Christopher Markus as well as Stephen McFeely. The protagonist is Captain America (Steve Rogers) aptly played by Chris Evans. He initially is rejected by the Selective Service for military duty in WWII. But he is persistent in his pursuit for physical success and eventually winds up on the front lines. Hayley Atwell plays Peggy Carter, and she portrays a dedicated woman with super heroine gusto. Sebastian Stan is James Buchanan, (Bucky Barnes). And Tommy Lee Jones gives his usual precise performance as the Colonel Chester Phillips who is in command and needs to be convinced that Captain America can handle the challenges frequently encountered. Hugo Weaving is Johann Schmidt with a red skull as his persona. He is menacing in his portrayal of this mean, dark character. It is an action packed film that can please the adult as well as the young at heart. It got a two thumbs up.
