Captain Average

Rating: 5/10 (2 August 2011)

Captain America is a typical blockbuster movie and an average one at that. Some of the action sequences left me shaking my head in disbelief due to their incomprehensible nature. It is alright for a film to be a little unrealistic but it is not acceptable to break the laws of physics. The film was too slow paced and corny for my tastes, but as soon as Captain America became the hero the quality jumped, but sadly it was a bit late in the day. Stanley Tucci's character was my favourite performance in the film. The final scenes are beautifully shot and emotional which was the highlight. Captain America failed at being a decent standalone film but succeeded at being a set up to The Avengers. It's only purpose it seems is to make the audience aware of who Captain America is.
