...It wasn't as bad as Thor...

Rating: 1/10 (16 April 2012)

Steve Rogers was a bit cliché, but then the movie was about the 1940s, so clichés were common. There's really no way to spoil this movie, if you know anything about Captain America. Also the movie is mostly gun fights and explosions, just like a Michael Bay movie! The premise is an American made Superman through science. A lot of experiments when on during the 1940s, we invented the atom bomb, etc. So a scientist making a super soldier would have been on their "To Do" list, if it were an option. As for characters, Steve Rogers wasn't that cliché, or at least, I didn't think so. He didn't have too many emotions though. He's not witty or charming. He's just your standard save-the-day super hero.I did enjoin the scenes where he used his brain instead of brawn, but those scenes are scarce indeed. The other characters were so bland, I can't even remember their names. There was "Uncle Ben" as the scientist. "Lois Lane" as the only female main character. Tommy Lee Jones as a stereotypical colonel( it was his dialogue, not his fault!), and there was the best friend. Not a whole lot of character development. Actually, now that I think about it, there wasn't any...Steve Rogers stays exactly the same through out the movie. He doesn't reach some profound understanding of anything. He just fights a lot and blows things up. I'm not joking, the movie is 70-80% explosions and gun fights. The whole movie is just to set up the back story for that Avengers movie, just like Thor! But everyone knew that from the title!
