Disappointed

Rating: 6/10 (29 July 2011)

I would like to compare this movie to 2 other action/superhero films i watched recently, the first one being Thor and Transformers Dark of the Moon.
I would rate them the following, Thor...7/10 Captain America 6/10 Transformers 3 5/10
Alrite... now to the review....
I went into the cinemas with high hope, expecting this to be different compared to recent and cliché genre of Superheroes.
The main problem of this film is its inconsistency to maintain characters and themes.
At the beginning, it was amazing, full of strong themes and characterization. The beginning reminded me of Batman Begins and how Bruce Wayne tries to overcome fear though in this situation it's about Steve Rogers trying to do what was only necessary for good.
This leads me onto the characters. First Chris Evans, he plays an amazing Steve Rogers though it really falls the second he becomes Captain America. From the strong willed and developed Steve to Classic Captain Cliché American Jock.
When compared to Thor, Thor has a consistent character while Captain America has many highs and lows.
Alrite now the rest of the film....
After he becomes Captain America the clichés start to flow in..... The fake German accents and the good old Independence Day endings. This gets rated better than Transformers because it doesn't state the Middle East as an Illegal Nuclear Dumping site and doesn't have the America in your face ending. The action scenes felt like there were just thrown in as if the movie was rushed.
In the end this movie definitely had potential but the clichés and inconsistency really dragged it down. It felt like this film was rushed in mid production for the upcoming movies The Avengers.
