mindless attempt at entertainment

Rating: 4/10 (10 August 2011)

To put this politely, this movie is just plain dumb. You'll really have to tune out and shut down the old tinker to thoroughly enjoy this flick,unless you're one of those few who purposely sit through a crappy movie just to make fun of it and snicker silly comments under your breath to your movie-going buddy.
SPOILER ALERT! The sad part is, it started off pretty good. In the first half hour they introduce and developed the characters really well and then he turns into Cpt. USA and the movie takes a dive. For reasons unknown, other than the script is dumb, the generals refuse to use this buffed out soldier who can jump over 10 foot fences and take out submarines with his fist. And the kid who has always wanted to join the military and fight Nazis doesn't go back to boot camp? That was his one and only drive; he lied and cheated his way in, why on earth would he be so willing to give up his dream to join a traveling Broadway show??? And he does this for three years!!!! stupid. And when he finally gets the urge to fight, he's suddenly great at everything- -ummm excuse me, but didn't you skip out on ALL of your training? You've never even fired a gun before and you've been singing the past 3 years! Oh and don't expect any Nazis to show up in this WWII movie, that would just be silly. Instead, we have a bad guy who's first plan, if Cpt. A left him alone, is to take out Berlin and probably kill Hitler. Good thing we stopped him, killing is wrong!
It seems like marvel is really dropping the ball lately with their super hero movies. I will not be surprised if they reboot Captain America in 2 - 3 years from now just like they've done with countless other failed attempts.
