"Good Comic Book Film!"

Rating: 6/10 (30 July 2012)

Chris Evans, Hugo Weaving, Tommy Lee Jones, Hayley Atwell, Sebastian Stan, Dominic Cooper, Stanley Tucci and Samuel L. Jackson star in this 2011 action film based on the marvel comics. This film takes place during World War II where we meet scrawny young man, Steve Rogers (Evans) who wants to join the army. Meanwhile, a ruthless German leader, Johann Schmidt (Weaving) discovers an ancient power and attempts to rule the world becoming Red Skull. Soon, Steve is chosen to undergo an experiment because of his commitment and wanting to do good that transforms him into a physically fit soldier ready to battle evil. He becomes Captain America as a symbol for propaganda, but proves himself as a real leader and hero. Atwell plays Peggy Carter, a colleague whom Steve gets romantically involved with, Jones plays Colonel Chester Phillips, Stan plays Steve's friend, Bucky Barnes, Cooper plays scientist & businessman, Howard Stark who is the father of Tony Stark aka Iron Man, Tucci plays scientist, Dr. Abraham Erskine who befriends Steve and chooses him for his experiment, Jackson makes an appearance as Nick Fury who soon leads the Avengers and creator, Stan Lee makes a cameo. Chris is great in this, it's nice to see him as another superhero and Hugo is always a good villain. I recommend this good comic book film.
