REVIEW:
I've seen all of these Marvel films a few times now and this is one of those that I seem to like the more I come back to it. I absolutely love how they displayed Steve Rogers' (Chris Evans) selflessness and courage even before he became Captain America. Specifically, I really enjoy the scene of the "test" when Colonel Phillips (Tommy Lee Jones) when he thrown a fake grenade into the group of soldiers and Rogers jumps on it in attempts to low the blow while everyone else ran away. Very small part, but I think it was very crucial. The acting in this film really goes a long way as well. Everyone played their part to a T. Tommy Lee Jones was great, Stanley Tucci was great in his pet as head scientist, Sebastian Stan as Bucky, the absolutely breath-taking Hayley Atwell as Peggy, Hugo Weaving played Red Skull perfectly and of course Chris Evans. Between this and Iron Man, I believe are a couple of the best origin stories for any Superhero film to date. This film had a great mix of emotion, heart, a love story that wasn't sappy and I believed 100% and a good amount of laughs although not as much in this film as the others. I know it's not everyone's favorite, but I did really enjoy this one. 7.8/10.
