Captain Average

Rating: 7/10 (14 May 2012)

Average might be a little harsh, slightly above average perhaps? Half an hour too long in my opinion, but it is just that.
Let's jump into it shall we? Loved the cast, all very convincing with what they were doing, the CG for skinny Cpt was awesome, I found myself tilting my head like a dog not quite being able to work out if it was a really good replica or Chris Evans himself (the actor that is). Agent Smith Hugo Weaving sorry, was brill, always is, totally convincing as a sadistic genius although his superhuman strength was a little underused.
Throw in Tommy Lee Jones (always a pleasure for the eyes and ears) and a few other familiar faces and you have yourself a sterling cast of top class actors.
I think they did a good job of introducing the character to the audience, all, of course, in anticipation of Avengers Assemble (which I'm yet to see). It went on a little too long perhaps but it wasn't poor by any shadow of the imagination, I just wanted a little more. More shield spinning, more hard hits, more Red Skull and America skirmishes! Still, did it leave me really excited for Avengers Assemble? Yes. Yes it did.
Watch it, if only to build your portfolio of marvellous Marvel movies!
