Captain America

Rating: 10/10 (7 December 2011)

First of all it was about time for Marvel to make Captain America's part in the Avengers. I have been waiting for a long time now. One thing I loved about this movie was that it followed the comic books almost exactly. When I see movies like this I am always a bit weary of how close they will follow the comic.
Captain America presents a man who is beat up and stepped on mercilessly through his life. Also, after he gets his power the viewer is expecting him to step on other people mercilessly. However, this is not the case. Captain America proves to be the same person on the inside no matter what happens to him on the outside. This story reminds me of David and Goliath. Before David went up against Goliath something extra ordinary happened. The old king of Israel was going out and there was a new king that needed to be anointed. When the priest came to find the new king God directed him to David (who was the youngest of his brothers and watched sheep). The priest was not going to even consider David, but God said in 1 Samuel 16:7, "The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart." This truth is still the same today. God does not care about what is on the outside (Ex: cars, money, and a house). God cares about if you are choosing to follow his son Jesus Christ.
