Very Uplifting

Rating: Null/10 (9 November 2011)

Captain America is my much younger brother. He is small for his age and has challenges (of course, we all do). This wasn't a typical Superhero transfered to the big screen. Nor is it one of those underdog stories like The NeverEnding Story, where a boy faces the obstacles of his size to become a hero, unlike almost any other. Instead this time it was almost a tear-jerker to a guy who almost never cries, being how good of a heart he had from the beginning and how he was so humble and gentle and didn't like bullys and wanted to join the Army because of all the men risking laying their lives and how he felt he shouldn't be doing any less. But here Seeing very, very skinny and short Steve Rogers being transformed into a perfect body, over 6 feet tall and muscular; perfect for patriotic combat and doing among many, other stunts, jumping from Army planes to break in and rescue captured soldiers from Red Skull and his men was so cool. He has the most ideal physique, not huge, but fairly large and pumped up, but the same heart and humility as the very, very little and Frail Steve Rogers. The supervillans are in line with Adolf Hitler, as you all know. Tommy Lee Jones made the movie a winner itself. It was a little disappointing seeing Stanly Tucci's character, Steve's good, kindly friend who saw him as war material from the beginning dies right after Steve Transforms into Chris Evans in his real physique after a man in league with Hydra blew his cover by terrorizing the lab. Red Skull could've done fine just as Hugo Weaving without the ugly mask, but it made him more scary as he is first seen when a building is burning and he jumps from great heights saving his best friend who was his bodyguard before he became the poignant physically strong and agile superhero. I got taken to it four times because it was so inspirational to my brother.
