Underrated - Great Action Adventure Movie

Rating: 10/10 (6 December 2011)

I did not know what to expect when I purchased this movie. This is a very positive and uplifting film. Not a "Chick Flick" a great "Guy" movie. This movie is an inspiration for those males of all ages, a story for those that had to struggle with their lack of physical ability, There is hope for us. Experience has shown me that when a movie is made about a Comic Book Hero, the hero comes across pretty "Comic" and unbelievable. Having read these books in my youth, I was looking forward to see what they would do with it. I was very pleased that they did not try to inject an anti USA message here. This is a Good vs. Evil story as most comic books were. Having Tommy Lee Jones, and Hugo Weaving who brought their professionalism to this production certainly made the difference. Different film editing would have made this an Oscar contender for sure is the only weak point I could find. This film coming out when the "Super Soldier" programs that various governments are working on makes it timely and more believable. The Special Effects are not overdone they work well with the story and are done is such a way that enhances the story without taking it over to make up for a weak script or acting, not the case here. Very well done. Chris Evans did a wonderful job, and I look forward to more from him. The director Joe Johnson did an outstanding job with the screenplay. I look forward to see what comes next.
