No surprise, no disappointment

Rating: 6/10 (4 September 2011)

I watched this flick, because I want to see all the prequels to the highly anticipated "The Avengers"-film and I suspect that's why most people will have the same motivation to see this movie.
Story was familiar, since they used the exact same formula as in all the other Stan Lee superhero movies. To be honest it is starting to become boring and I hope Captain America is next to the first Avenger also the last Avenger.
Hugo Weaving absolutely stole the show with his Arnold Schwarznegger accent and he basically carried the whole film on his back. It was great fun to see him perform the evil governator super-villain and I wish there was more footage shown of him.
The rest of the movie is just sad. Of course they have to pick World War 2 as the war where Captain America fought, since every one knows all the recent wars were just fought to obtain oilfields for the corporate world (how noble is that? indeed...). And the rest of the film is just a load of American chauvinism and propaganda with a few entertaining jokes in it. 6/10
