Captain America's origin taken to new heights.

Rating: 10/10 (18 January 2016)

I can't help but notice that many people gave this movie a poor score and review for all the wrong reasons. Anyone who has ever read comics from the 1930's and 40's know that the technology displayed in this film was far beyond what was plausible back then but that same silly tech was featured heavily in the comics of the time. Is this movie perfect? No. Did Joe Johnston play it a bit too safe? Yes, but he in my opinion brought the same flavor of films like the Rocketeer (which he directed) and the look and feel of movies like Indiana Jones, while staying pretty faithful to source material, and trying to include the film in the MCU. I personally had a blast watching this movie even with its flaws but I couldn't help but enjoy it for what it is. Captain America is a period piece that manages to tell his and his supporting casts story while weaving itself into the mainstream Marvel Cinematic Universe.
