Extremely Nationalist but Enjoyable

Rating: 7/10 (18 December 2011)

In 1942, the weedy and sick Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) is determined to enlist the military service to serve in World War Ii, but all his attempts are rejected by the military doctors. His determination, courage and goodness attracts the attention of Dr. Abraham Erskine (Stanley Tucci), who is ahead of the secret Project Rebirth, and Steve is summoned to be submitted to an experiment to become stronger and stronger. However, Dr. Erskine is murdered by an agent of HYDRA, a secret German agency led by the powerful and cruel Johann Schmidt (Hugo Weaving).
Steve is used by politicians to promote the selling of war bonus and recruit new soldiers to fight in the war. However, when his best friend James Buchanan 'Bucky' Barnes (Sebastian Stan) is captured with his regiment by Johann, Captain America heads to the fortress where he finds that the insane Johann Schmidt is actually the dangerous Red Skull. Captain America rescues Bucky and his soldiers and begins to battle against Red Skull and his powerful warriors.
"Captain America: The First Avenger" is an extremely nationalist but enjoyable action film. The beginning with the weak Steve Rogers being bullied and beaten by stronger guys is funny and entertaining. His exhibition on the stage in Italy is too much nationalist, boring and annoying. His romance with Peggy Carter has no chemistry, and the technology of the Project Rebirth and HYDRA is too much ahead of time. However, if the viewer forgets the flaws, he or she may find "Captain America: The First Avenger" an entertaining "popcorn" film like I did. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "Capitão América: O Primeiro Vingador" ("Captain America: The First Avenger")
