Rating: 10/10 (13 October 2011)

CAPTAIN America. is that rare film that makes you feel good. the story follows the comic book. The Story is this. 1943 America is at war and the United States government is banking every thing on the Super Soldier formula. Steve Rogers is the test subject who was selected out of a small group of men to test the formula. The Serum works and Rogers becomes the world's first American Super soldier. Then a German spy kills the inventor of the serum and Rogers goes after the killer when he does so in public and pictures are taken of him the Government decides he would be more useful selling War Bonds on a USO tour. Rogers is angry because this is not what he believes he was given the super soldier serum for. Then he finds out a friend of his Bucky Barnes is trapped behind enemy lines along with most of his unit. Steve Rogers now code named Captain America disobeys orders and rescues Bucky and the Howling commandos. once he does this the government sees the worth in him fighting the battles that need to be fought. His greatest challenge is the evil mad Red Skull who was given a earlier version of the serum which disfigured him and gave him immense power. The rest of the film is the conflict between the Red Skull and Captain America and how Cap is trying to stop the Skull's ultimate plan to destroy the allied forces. It Ends up with Captain America defeating the Red Skull only to be thrust into suspended animation for over 75 years and when he awakes it's to a strange new world. Not a bad movie I enjoyed it greatly,Chris Evans proved to me he can carry Captain America's Shield and Hugo Weaving oozes evil as the Red Skull. Tommy Lee Jones gives a strong performance as General Chester Phillips. The movie's biggest strength is the fact that it adheres to old style film making values it felt like watching a old style action film from when they really did know how to make films. Joe Johnston is a old style film maker right up there with John Ford and Howard Hawks and he never seems to get the credit he deserves. With Captain America he makes his best picture yet. The film's moral is believe in yourself believe in your country and never give up. Something we can still believe in today.
