Too Much of an American Captain America

Rating: 3/10 (8 September 2011)

The first part of the film is well-constructed, with the usual super-hero in-development plot. However, the storyline involving Hydra has too many inconsistencies. I get the feeling that they only desperately want the superhero to look cool rather than having a reasonable script. They managed to create a film with over-clichéd lines, lack of action, misplaced explosions, meaningless technology and conflicting war scenarios. It falls short for a star wars type, for an action type or for an epic type. I was expecting a typical "america rocks" film with lots of action and unreasonable American patriotism, but this extremely inconsistent plot was a huge disappointment even for that.
