Amazing Origin Story In a Different Time Period

Rating: 9/10 (26 December 2014)

It's always great to watch an action film that takes place in a different environment than the world you're currently living in. It's ever better when it's about a superhero!
To be honest, I didn't grow up watching a lot of Captain America, but I have heard of him from friends and family. When this movie came out, I had to watch it because I'm a huge Marvel fan. And this show did not disappoint. It was great to watch the origin story of Captain America, how he became the superhero we know him to be, and to see glimpses of how he could possibly fit in with the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Unlike some action films that are fully packed with CGI with minimal story weight, Captain American had both: great CGI alongside great storytelling with strong depth and emotion. I enjoyed how it was more closely tied to reality than most other superhero movies, and I enjoyed how Chris Evans portrayed Captain American as the brave solider who is always fighting for good.
Overall, I enjoyed the movie immensely. The only thing I would recommend is that we see more of Captain American's fighting potential in the next film: The Winter Soldier!
