Pretty good

Rating: 8/10 (26 August 2019)

This is one of the first Marvel movies I saw as a kid and I loved it back then. I still like it now, but I admit it has some meh stuff. The story is pretty good. The beginning is great showing us our hero and how he enters soldier life, his personality, his friends, etc. The middle is okay, showing some cool action scenes, a rescue mission, stuff like that, but not much that's actually interesting. The ending is really good though. The characters are pretty good except for the villain. He's kinda weak. Has a fun apprentice though. Steve Rogers is a great character as well as Peggy Carter. They both have great chemistry and even Bucky. You get a good sense of friendship from him and Steve. The acting is good for the most part. Sometimes it's a little cheesy. The tone is good. It felt like a realistic story with themes of honor and sacrifice. CGI was good and the practical effects were great. The movie looks amazing too. I really believed they were in the '40s. The music was pretty good. The runtime is good. It doesn't ever feel really boring. The comedy was alright. Not all of the jokes land. And the action was great. Lots of stuff gets blown up and it looks good.
I give Captain America: The First Avenger an 8.1/10 (Great)
