This movie is like a burger at "McDonalds" – it tastes like the last one, the one before that and the one you'll taste in the future

Rating: 3/10 (5 March 2012)

Funny how, sometimes, movies can make you depressed. Not the movie "Captain America" itself – that left me rather unimpressed, indifferent, despite being a comic book fan – but the thought: $X millions spent on a film, $XX millions made and XXX bad reviews later, there'll be XXXX sequels!
Many reviewers have pointed out the merits of this film – sure, there are merits, if you don't have the highest of expectations, but why bother pointing them out? It's like pointing out that the last "McDonalds"  you ate was delicious; instead of saying that it tasted just as average as any other McD's burger you've ever eaten.
Instead of saying, "Chris Evans made a great Captain America", we could just say, "He wasn't as corny as the Human Torch". We could say, "Hugo Weaving did a great job playing the Red Skull", or we could stick to the truth and say, "Hugo Weaving is playing the same damn role, he's been playing for the last ten years" – eyebrows go up, corner of mouth goes down, cheesy lines are recited, etc.
As to CGI, well, I've never been a fan and still consider most CGI-effects bland, lifeless or blatantly obvious, but have to admit: the character of 'Peggy Carter' was almost lifelike. The wonders of modern technology (I assume the character was voiced by someone called Hayley Atwell)?
Sorry, Mr. Lee, there'll be no more bucks coming from this sucker  oh well, not entirely true: I'll stick to the grab-bags at the local comic-store. After all, 50 cents for five issues of "The Avengers"-comics isn't too much to ask for.
