A childish perspective into WWII

Rating: 4/10 (1 March 2013)

Not counting Edward Norton's insignificant The Incredible Hulk, this might be the worst of the Avenger films. Even Thor with its laughable family melodrama and video game CGI made a bigger impact than this superhero film set in World War II.
Captain America is an actor-turned-supersoldier who must face an evil Nazi scientist, hamfully hilariously played by Hugo Weaving. The villains remind me of Raiders of the Lost Ark, though in this film the evil Red Skull (who literally tears his face off halfway through the film to reveal a red skull underneath) turns on his Nazi supervisors and starts a freelancing world domination enterprise, which made me wonder why the filmmakers had to distance this trivial backwood fight even more from the actual war. I guess the answer is in the comics.
The most memorable scene was without a doubt the flashback with a kaleidoscope vision of a dozen grinning Hugo Weavings.
