Good

Rating: 7/10 (19 August 2014)

It's "Die Hard" for the comic book crowd. Captain America has a shield the size of a large pizza but kicks some major buttocks. I love the fisticuffs back and forth. The story is well told and gives you a good idea of how a boy named Steve becomes the hero. The characters in this film have a lot of depth and the realism with which they are portrayed by the actors is surprising at times. As is often the came with comic book movies, from an artistic standpoint, there were some plot elements and character developments I didn't think were totally needed. They do however drive the story, which seemed to be their purpose, so I can accept them.
