Isn't this "The Avengers" movie yet?

Rating: 4/10 (10 August 2011)

Watch out! Spoilers ahead. He becomes a superhero in the movie.
I personally think they've screwed this up royally. In their desperate bid too get too an "Avengers" movie, "Captain America" feels more like the pilot episode off a series, and one that jumps the shark way too soon at that.
I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. Captain America is already the lamest superhero I can think off too begin with. He is super strong and throws his shield at people? I mean come on!
When I first heard who was going too be in it I was less than thrilled too. Chris Evans as the star? Hasn't he already been a superhero? In fact the whole cast reeks off no effort. We need a bad-ass army captain. Oh lets get Tommy Lee Jones. We need a cross looking villain. Oh lets get Hugo Weaving. These guys are good in their roles I guess (even though they bring nothing surprising too the parts). I think the film wouldn't off been that great anyway, whoever was in it!
Things start off promising with the 40's setting, and the pace seems too be building up too something awesome. But when Evans finally dons his costume, the film starts too rush through 70 years off back-story, relying on shamefully crammed montages (Americaaa! F**k ye!) before returning too more boring chat! They even screw up the bad-guy Red Skull. They don't show us his real face till way after the half way mark, and then briefly show us his evil antics, before he has ONE battle with the captain, before supposedly ending up dead. But in a way in which he can return for a sequel off course. I also found his nose too be seriously distracting. How much money has been put into this film? Couldn't they even get his nose too sit straight on his rubber face?
Like "Iron man," the film has a nice sense off humour too it, but that is not what I wanted too take from this movie. At least "Iron man" took some time in getting too a point where an "Avengers" movie seemed reasonable, and it took 2 whole films too get there. "Captain America" shamefully rushes too get too that point, and the hero is already in the present day by the (terrible) end off the film. In fact the films whole plot links with the others way too much, with the whole evil plot being embarrassingly linked with "Thor," and did we really need Robert Downey Jnrs grand-dad or whoever it is in here? No!
This, as well as "Thor," wants me too be excited about forth coming "Avengers" instead off itself. If it's going too be like the sum off its parts though, its just going too be yet another super-hero movie. I just wish more effort had been put into these films individually. They just feel like filler episodes off a series too me. Roll on "The Dark knight rises" is all I can say too Marvel.
