Okay popcorn flick

Rating: 6/10 (24 July 2011)

Didn't think I wanted to see Captain American but I had a taste for popcorn so I went. This is just that an okay popcorn flick. The beginning is done very well and sticks close to the comic. They do well with Steve Rogers story, making it very personal. Tommy Lee Jones steals the show as usual. Hugo Weaving is also good as the Red Skull. The female lead for once doesn't get in the way like the annoying Pepper Potts or all of the Batman female love interests. Howard Stark is also an interesting character, almost like Tony (maybe too much). That's the good, now the bad. The action is sometimes well over the top and the fight scenes often go way too long. The ending is done well with an appearance by you know who.
