The cheesiest one so far

Rating: 10/10 (7 August 2019)

I just finished watching this and I absolutely love it!
Steve Rogers is a short, skinny guy with several health issues - but he is desperate to get into the army and fight in World War 2. He tries several times, but is rejected due to his health issues and his shortness. Then, he is approached by Dr. Abraham Erskine, who works in the military, and is drafted. While he is nowhere near as fit as all the other soldiers, he turns out to be smarter and a bigger heart than all the rest. He is chosen to be the guinea pig, so to speak, of a serum that Erskine and Howard Stark created, that will make him bigger, more muscular, stronger, and his senses, bodily activities and abilities are at least 4 times more enhanced than a normal human. It is successful, and he becomes Captain America.
Instead of going on to fight in the war, he is simply used on TV to try and inspire Americans to fight against the Nazis - which isn't as successful as they would like. After the 107th is attacked by Germans, and most killed or captured, Rogers goes alone to one of the Hydra bases and rescues the survivors, among whom was his best friend Bucky Barnes.
Meanwhile, the movies villain, Schimdt (I think I'm spelling that correctly) or Red Skull, harnesses the Tessaract's power to power his weapons to take over the world. Catching wind of his plans, Captain America must try and stop him.
(Sorry for the soppy plot description).
This film is set in the 1940s, and I found it rather refreshing. It seems to be accurate with it's historical setting - the costumes, the vehicles, etc., etc. I like how the lighting effects reflects it's time setting. Chris Evans, Sebastian Stan, and the woman who plays Peggy all do an awesome job in their roles as Cap, Bucky, and Peggy - well, everyone does, but they are the most notable, alongside Dominic something or other who plays Howard Stark, Tony's father. The saying like father, like son strongly applies with Howard and Tony, if you get my drift.
The action scenes are awesome and one-hundred-percent preposterous - but you'll still love it. You just have to laugh, though, at its unrealism and cheesiness.
Hugo Weaving does a stellar job as Red Skull, the villain. I like the Garden of Eden references and the Raiders of the Lost Ark parallels - particularly something in the climax, which I will not spoil. The mystical themes were quite an interesting addition, as well.
I totally enjoyed this vintage movie and am looking forward to watching the next film!
