My Intro Into MCU - Not As Bad As I Thought!

Rating: 7/10 (4 July 2019)

The start of my marathon to watch all of the MCU movies in special chronological order to get to the Avengers: Endgame, "Captain America: The First Avenger" is the lowest rated MCU movie in my watch list. I will be honest, I watched it in two sessions, half and half. Still, looking at the 6.9 Rating at the moment of this review, I expected something bland and boring.
I am pleased to say that this movie is up to my standard of recommendation, although it's not something I would re-watch. Without spoiling it, I would just say that watching it requires a lot of suspension of disbelief (even for a superhero movie), and I didn't quite like some design choices and very-modern looking tech which looks completely out of place even in the context of the story. The pacing was probably a bit off, because even though it has a lot of action, some parts seemed a bit boring. On the other hand, we have a solid, even if fantastical, plot, a decent hero and memorable villain. I must add that I am intrigued by the epic tale which just begins to unfold and I can't wait to see what's coming next.
