I can't think of a reason for anyone to like this movie

Rating: 1/10 (1 May 2012)

To call Captain America a good movie is like calling a Double Big Mac Five Star Cuisine.
The plot is simple and archetypal enough: Hero is weak, hero becomes strong, hero proves he's a hero, hero sacrifices himself and hero comes back. Captain America is kinda like Jesus, only with lots of American Flags! The characters themselves are just awful. Captain America's character is totally unrelatable since his only flaw seems to be he's just too darn Heroic! This leads to the question of why the female protagonist fall in love with him, since Captain America has no personality whatsoever. Oh yeah and the female protagonist only exists to be a part of the really terrible love sub-plot, seems Marvel wants to keep the feel of the role of Women in 1940's society. Generic Best friend Character who joins the military dies, but everybody saw that coming and his death is mourned in one scene, after that he's never mentioned again (because giving Captain America semi-complex emotions for more than thirty seconds might make the writer's heads explode). Hugo Weaving performs well as the Red Skull, however his performance is totally put off by how ridiculous the costume is. When I saw the Red Skull's face for the first time I didn't think "Wow he looks so intimidating and villainous." I thought, "That's a terrible mask, Hugo Weaving." However my biggest overall problem with Captain America is the tone and lack of consistency. This is a movie that wants to be a serious action movie, while the Red Skull looks like Hugo Weaving shaved his head and swam in some red paint. It terms of the consistency it starts off as the usual abused hero story, then it shifts to what seems to be an attempted criticism of the resources wasted in America Propaganda, then becomes a zany action flick (With battle montages and Hugo Weaving), then ends trying to be all serious and dramatic. It tries to be everything and fails at all of them. Even as Super Hero movies go this isn't anywhere near the best (Watchmen and Christopher Nolan's Batman movies take that title).
If you're the type of person who sits around in a trailer covered in American flags and actively hates using intelligent thoughts, then you'll like this movie. The idea that anyone else could enjoy this is dumbfounding, since its just so awful.
