Excellent film despite a defect relief

Rating: 9/10 (7 March 2014)

While U.S. soldiers enlist to fight Nazi Germany, Steve Rogers is seen constantly repressed into military offices. Considered too weak and full of flaws, the army refuses to incorporate the young man has only one desire, to do his duty. Spotted by a scientist, his pugnacity will be rewarded and he will find himself involved in an experiment whose goal is to create super soldiers. The film retains the origins of the hero without changing the time. So, it CAPTAIN America wins a special character, keeping apart from other adaptations set in a contemporary registry. Because the character of Captain America was born during the Second World War and it will therefore participate in the fight against the Nazis. If the action should prevail, it remains that the story takes its time, especially in its first part, to give us a hero stuck in a puny body before turning his transformation. In this respect, one can acknowledge the work on the special effects that helped to give Chris Evans musculature and small body. If the effect is deliberately exaggerated, the result is stunning. And that makes all the more credible physical metamorphosis hero. However, even if the hero gets great power, it will become a patriotic mascot before taking things in hand to actually turn into heroes. All this part of the story turns out to be the most successful of the film. For the rest, we must be realistic, there are very redundant in the world of superheroes and a relatively predictable path themes. Everything else, no matter what happens, very friendly. If it can possibly be frustrated to see the debut of the hero, after a successful first mission sent in a few images, CAPTAIN America manages to bring moments of pure comic. In the genre, the attack on the train or the last game are real success stories. Similarly, a lot of shots of the film reflected the beauty and strength of comics illustrations as when the Red Skull, with his true face, catching the cube in his hand at the end of the film. Finally, the real disappointment CAPTAIN America is the relief. Because, once again, wearing glasses is more an annoyance than an asset. Fortunately, the end credits really anime embossed retro images. Apart from this drawback, CAPTAIN America : THE FIRST AVENGER proves a very great success in recent adaptations.
