Right on Cap

Rating: 7/10 (2 November 2019)

The story of Steve Roger is unprecedented in cinema until now. Unlike most comic book movies this film is set in the 1940s. Rogers is your everyday nice but skinny weak looking guy who cares about others. A man who would be seen as the last you'd send into battle, but maybe...just maybe, the man with the biggest heard. Chris Evans is a splendid choice as our protagonist Captain America, and the scene where he dives over the grenade makes you feel another level of emotion. Picked to become a super soldier for his uniqueness, intellect and heart, Steve Rogers must lead soldiers into war to stop his ultimate nemesis Schmidt aka the red skull. With the side story of Rogers and Agent Carter slowly falling for each other. Both willing to wait for the right partner. Carter and Rogers must first get through a threat maybe even worse than Hitler himself. Hayley Atwell provides a strong independent woman in Carter and has depths of emotion towards the end. Rogers is rejected from doing his part in the army to begin with for being to small in stature. Tommy Lee Jones character Chester Philips had little faith in Rogers and is mainly standard Tommy Lee probably slightly under used as this character. The red skull is very caricatured and typical of what you expect a comic villain set in World War Two to be. Admittedly Hugo Weaving doesn't really stand out as an amazing charismatic villain or even as of much threat as he could have. Overall the setting are well related to the time and the Visual effects and stunts are fantastic like most marvel films. The props work well with the CGI and this one is overly flooded with computer visuals.
