Surprisingly Good

Rating: 9/10 (7 May 2012)

OK, I feel the need to write a review on this movie because I almost didn't watch it. As a self-proclaimed comic book geek, I was never into the Captain America series and tried to boycott this movie. I thought the movie would be close to the comics without too much of a plot and very jingoistic. However, the movie actually covered this aspect of the comic in a very original light and 21st century style that I was more than pleased with. It really tried to emotionally connect you to Captain America and his plight as a character rather than depict him as a "Superman" hero. Since I boycotted this movie for a full year and found out I liked it, I felt the need to write a positive review since I realized the error of my ways.
The movie actually made me something that I was never before - a fan of Captain America.
