Good enough, but perhaps I am not the target audience for it.

Rating: 7/10 (7 May 2016)

I finally agreed to watch this recently.
Let me give you a brief back-story to my Captain America experience:
Never was I a comic book reader while growing up, therefore I am not entirely familiar as perhaps some others. The MARVEL franchise is very popular and it basically kick-started with Jon Favreau's Iron Man, as far as movies go. This one was released three years after that one and I remember showing this, both in 2d print and in 3d digital. I think it would have looked pretty cool in 3d.
At the end it featured the teaser trailer of The Avengers for the following year. At the time I had no idea The Avengers was going to be as big as it became.
I thought this one looked kind of interesting because of the origins of the story. It is a superhero movie but it is set as mostly period film. The concept of a young man wanting to enlist in the World War II military I found intriguing whom later on becomes a crusader due to being injected with a special serum. It was odd how scrawny Chris Evans looked in perhaps the first twenty-five minutes. I was trying to think of what movies he had done before this one, but I have never seen him look that way. It proved very effective. Fortunately, the movie moves at a brisk pace. I couldn't find much of an issue with it. The one problem I have is that these movies would need to be watched chronologically since they're connected. Being a completest as I am, I cannot just watch one without seeing the previous one since the stories would not be involving that way, therefore being confusing. It's MARVEL Universe. There is no way I can be able to watch The Avengers without watching this one first.
Overall however, nothing about this one really grabbed me. It isn't nearly as hard-hitting as some of the best dialog and character driven films I have seen. There is no startling discovery, no engaging insights. It just all moves along as it should. It delivers as far as the action goes. As close as it gets as far as any emotional impact is when Steve Rogers a.k.a. Captain America saves his friend Bucky once, but could not save him a second time. It's basically a harmless, decent film. I have heard/read that The Winter Soldier is much better. I'll be sure to check that out next.
