Review: Captain America

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the first-avenger-or-something dept.

If you have been living under a rock, you might not be aware that the next in the ongoing series of Avengers prequel movies came out this weekend: Captain America follows Steve Rogers origin, and sets him up for next summer's kajillion dollar Whedonesque mega blockbuster. But how is it as a movie in its own right? Hit the link to read my 2 cents. Standard spoiler warnings apply.

    Its about time Hollywood came up with something original instead of digging ever deeper into the list of 2nd rate comic book "heroes"?

      Well, they have green-lighted "Space Invaders" if that's more to your liking.

      I'm still not sure how much I'd enjoy 90 minutes of "Increase speed, drop down and reverse direction!".

      That would be an improvement on NASCAR.

      And the basic message is what?

      "Steroids are awesome."
