Captain America: An Extended Montage

Rating: Null/10 (28 October 2011)

The story is a simple one - A nerdy-looking diminutive Steve Rogers yearns to enlist for the war and is given a snowball's chance as he signs up for a path-breaking Super Soldier Program.
Unfortunately, the technology is blown to bits, leaving him to be the only one with said super capabilities.
Meanwhile, the evil Red Skull (Hugo Weaving) tries his best to take over the world, moving away from the shadow of the true evil that bred him, Hitler.
Captain America, by default, happens to be one of the least cool superheroes within the Marvel Franchise, primarily because of his lack of gray shades.
Still, there is a rich history to this character that could've been put to good use. Most war movies happen to be propaganda based and as such, Captain America's script could easily have worked within those confines to deliver on every level.
Instead, the film turns into several extended montages that seemed to have been created simply to give him a back story before the Avengers movie comes out.
Hugo Weaving, while menacing in costume, is given very little room to actually be a threat and reach a true arch-nemesis story arch. In fact, he ends up being nothing more than a cartoon level madman.
Chris Evans does a passable job as Captain America.
Tommy Lee Jones is wasted.
The only thing worth watching in this instantly dismissible flick is Dominic Cooper as Howard Stark. Through him you get a true glimpse of why Tony Stark (Iron Man) became who he is and his performance and lines are the best in the movie.
Watch ONLY if you're a true blue comic book fan and need to satisfy your own desires, like I did.
Else, be happy with just the trailer.
P.S. - It's better than Green Lantern though
