Underrated movie of the MCU

Rating: 8/10 (25 October 2018)

The first film in Captain America's trilogy is often glanced over by the general public ever since the sequels came along.
I for one love this movie as it first introduced me to the character of Cap back in 2012 when I watched the PHASE ONE movies in prep for the Avengers hitting the big screen. Mainly because I knew nothing about the character. I've mostly been a Spider-Man and Batman guy.
I love Chris Evans' performance in this. He is extremely likeable and he gradually improves in the sequels which made me love him more and for me he has become the PERFECT Captain America. The definitive take if you will.
On the whole, while I agree the film does lag in places, it's still enjoyable and I love films that go back in time which is why people compare it to the Wonder Woman movie (2017). A great origin story, an interesting new take on the character of Cap, great acting and fantastic score by Alan Silvestri who created the now ICONIC Avengers theme tune.
This is an underrated gem that should be given more credit.
