A favourite in our house

Rating: 10/10 (11 January 2016)

We love this film. My 3 year old (almost 4) daughter is in love with Captain America. She begged me to buy Captain America bedding and on a recent trip to Universal Studios in Florida we stood in line for 30 minutes so she could meet her hero.
We all love this movie and just as well as we watch it almost every day. Funnily enough I don't mind. It's rare to find a film you can watch again and again and still love.
Captain America: The First Avenger is a just a great film. Chris Evans is fabulous as Captain America. Some of the action scenes are awesome, we love when he goes to rescue the soldiers in his stage costume. The CGI effects are brilliant and the older retro scenes are well done. The movie ends with true patriotic heroism and full of heart. Just perfect movie time.
The joys and the thrills mostly go to the actors performances. Chris Evans is perfect as the thoughtful compassionate little guy with a big heart about to become a big hero. Epic movie moment when he takes the flag off the pole that ranks up there with Indiana Jones shooting the guy with all the swords. Hugo Weaving is great fun to watch as the Red Skull. Tommy Lee Jones has the great comic one liners that every good movie needs. We love the Howling Commando's. Hayley Atwell is stunning as Agent Carter and it's not a surprise that a Marvel spin off series all her own was born. We love the scene in the car when they talk about dancing, that moment when she almost touches his chest when he first comes out of the machine always makes me chuckle and their final scene is really emotional.
As superhero's go Captain America has to be amongst the best and this film has a big place in my families heart. We never get tired of watching it.
