Captain America: The First Avenger
No matter how well the US army constructs its super-soldiers, all of them will inevitably be killed by friendly fire.
Thankfully, the genetically enhanced GI in this action movie has a shield to protect him from any incompetence.
Recruited by a military doctor (Stanley Tucci) to participant in a body augmenting experiment, Steve (Chris Evans), a pipsqueak desperate to serve, jumps at the chance.
Though successful at heightening his physical prowess, the formula is ultimately lost to the Nazi affiliated HYDRA organization.
Now, Steve must don his country's colours and wage war against HYDRA's head, the Red Skull (Hugo Weaving), whose cosmic cube threatens the Allies.
A rip-roaring adventure with exceptional performances and a less-campy costume than its Marvel Comics template, Captain America is an exemplary adaptation of an unadaptable super-hero.
And while it is patriotic to wear your country's colours into war, unless your flag is camouflaged, you're dead. (Green Light)
