Good movie

Rating: 9/10 (28 November 2015)

Although there are two more Captain America movies, Captain America : The First Avenger is the first big budget movie about Captain America. It was released in 2012, directed by Joe Johnston and starring Chris Evans. It is a well-reproduced movie in that it has a great plot.
The movie is set in the 1940s during World War II. Steve Rogers(Chris Evans) is a man who wants to be a soldier. However, because of his physical weakness, he is rejected every time he applies. One day, he is recruited as a candidate of the Super Soldier project because of his diligence and willpower. As a result of a secret experiment, Steve gains overwhelming strength. He uses his strength and his trademark vibranium shield to fight against an evil German organization named Hydra, led by Red Skull(Hugo Weaving).
The best thing about Captain America : The First Avenger is its well-knit plot. The story sets out from Steve Rogers' weakness, which makes his transformation outstanding. After the birth of Captain America, there are his heroic fights, and finally comes the final battle. All the parts of the story make a perfect storm that keeps audiences immersed in the movie. However, the supporting characters' importance is quite low. In my opinion, It would have been better if sub characters had taken a more active role. For example, Howard Stark(Dominic Cooper) should have appeared more as the maker of the vibranium shield.
Despite this minor defect, the story is still appealing in that it perfectly vitalizes Captain America's heroic aspect. It might be said that it is very hard to make such an old character appealing to modern people, but the story of this movie admirably achieves that. Captain America : The First Avenger won't disappoint you.
