My favorite underrated superhero action reboot film!

Rating: 8/10 (27 December 2015)

Captain America: The First Avenger (2011) is a pretty decent film by its own way. It is one of my favorite superhero comic book films. I love this movie to death. Everyone knows that Captain America: The Winter Soldier is one of my favorite best comic book action film. But this one is close and right behind The Incredible Hulk. I love this movie and it has a great comic book reboot origin story of how Steve Rogers become a superhero Captain America. The first time I have saw this movie, I did not like it, I even made wrote a hateful review about this movie, It took me three times in the row watching this movie till, have I enjoy it and than loved it. But I still think Captain America: The Winter Soldier is far superior movie flick over this and way better, tough that doesn't mean Captain America: The First Avenger is awful, it is not every fan should have known that! This film is miles way better than The Avengers and Avengers: Age of Ultron both of the movies. I choose this movie over Avengers movies! I have Age of Ultron and I hate Avengers because they are running stand up alone movies.
In this movie Captain America went on his own mission to save his friend and the rest captured man and he saves them all on the end, without any support. He uses his shield to fight the Germans I really love that. In my opinion it was a great comic book origin adaptation that went back to basic, where it all started it. I LOVE the fact about this movie to the explaining in what the main character Captain America became Captain America, not just a documentary, there is a huge difference! He is actually one of my favorite superheroes. Chris Evans becomes America's ultimate weapon against evil in the fun-filled superhero adventure "Captain America: The First Avenger". In the 1940s, headstrong Steve Rogers (Evans) volunteers for a top secret government experiment that transforms him from a scrawny weakling into the Super Soldier known as Captain America. Captain America leads the fight for freedom against the evil HYDRA organization and their leader Red Skull (Hugo Weaving) who has discover an otherworldly power that will ensure him world domination.
Captain America: The First Avenger is the latest comic book adaptation to hit the big screen, and is certainly a playful action-packed flick. Though not a comic book masterpiece, it does succeed in capturing the spirit of what a comic book movie should be. Director Joe Johnston has created a stylish old-fashioned adventure picture with some solid elements of drama, humor and action. The cast also includes Tommy Lee Jones, Hayley Atwell, Sebastian Stan, Dominic Cooper, Neal McDonough, Derek Luke, Toby Jones and Stanley Tucci. The Red Skull is a great villain. He has every ounce of the evil that was in Hitler, and he has the advanced weaponry and sacred power that Hitler actually sought out. And not to mention, he's a super soldier like Captain America. He's basically Hitler x5, that's the perfect recipe for a villain. Tough the movie did feel a little too rushed, like it was leading up to the Avengers. It's not the absolute best movie Marvel Studios has put out, but it's definitely up there.
This movie has a few plot holes and a few movie mistakes, but which movie doesn't have? I think this movie is pretty good on his own way before the Avengers come out. I am glad there was more explained in The Avengers and Captain America: The Winter Soldier. The character development is great and the action is cool with a compelling story. The film is kind a lacking in action, it has action but is more build on Steve Rogers-Captain America character and Red Skull character. Captain America: The First Avenger is the 2011 feature film adaptation of the Marvel comic book series. Directed by Joe Johnston (The Rocketeer), the film stars Chris Evans as Steve Rogers, a young man from Brooklyn who during the Second World War, desires to join the US war effort, but is rejected due to his undersized stature. When he volunteers to be part of a secret US program, Rogers then finds himself genetically transformed into the world's first super soldier.
The film is also part of "Phase One" of the Marvel Cinematic Universe that includes Iron Man, Iron Man 2, The Incredible Hulk, and Thor and culminated in 2012's The Avengers. In addition to the 2012 film, Chris Evans returned as Captain America in the standalone sequels Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Captain America: Civil War, and Hayley Atwell would return as Peggy Carter in both a Marvel One-Shot and a 2015 ABC television series. I am giving this movie an 8, it deserves a fair rating.
