This weeks super hero  next May too.

Rating: Null/10 (23 July 2011)

It is always fun to see the roots of super heroes. We see the work that turns the physically below average GI Joe into super buff Captain America.
Captain America is an old fashioned flag waiving American hero. After a stint on the Bond selling tour he gets his chance to fight. He fights in World War II against the Nazis and the even a more sinister rogue Nazi aptly named The Red Skull.
Tommy Lee Jones keeps the film grounded and adds humor, even when some of the action looks more like Star Wars then WWII. A rousing score by Alan Silvestri and a sure to be nominated song by Alan Menken add to the fun.
Captain America: The First Avenger deliveries exactly what you expect and want from a summer "popcorn" movie. Stay through the long end credits and get a glimpse of next summer's sequel that appears to contemporize the story.
