The Star Spangled Man With the Plan

Rating: Null/10 (8 November 2011)

I am a huge fan of the Marvel Universe. So when I saw the trailer for this film I was super excited and was hopeful that it would be a great movie. I was not disappointed.
Steve Rogers is a brave little guy who cannot get into the army because of his health and such. However a doctor sees his courage and good man qualities and suggests him for the Super Soldier Program which will make his physical abilities match his personality. So he becomes Captain America. Captain America then helps the army in a battle against Hydra and the evil Red Skull.
I think this film had a great story. It was not too complicated to follow it. The overall feel of it being set during World War 2 was awesome.
Casting was very good as has been the case lately for Marvel Films. I liked Chris Evans in Fantastic Four and had doubts for him in this film but I think he did a really good job. Captain America in this film is a hero that you root for and get to see grow over the film. Tommy Lee Jones was great as always as the general in the army.
A major strength this film had was the villain Red Skull. Played by Hugo Heaving I found him to be perfect as Red Skull. Menacing and evil he was an outstanding villain.
There is a lot going on in this film as well. Not to much down time and a lot of good action. It starts a little slow with Rogers before he is Captain America but after that it really gets good.
Overall, I found this film to be great. Highly recommend it.
