So, what, am I the only one who went and saw Captain America this weekend?
7/10
I really enjoyed it for the most part. Chris Evans surprised me in that I don't usually care for his work, but he was a pretty great Captain America. Hugo was awesome as Red Skull, although I kind of wish he had gotten more screen time. I would've liked to see a little bit more intense action - I mean, I was basically expecting a war movie with a superhero on the battlefield, and that's not what we go. Director Joe Johnston has some quirks that I don't really care for, but they're all small things and overall I think he did a good job.
I guess there's not much to be expected out of an origin story since you already know what's going to happen for about 2/3rd's of the movie, and then the rest is predictable. You have to wait until the sequel to decide whether this character can really stand on legs or not. Looks like we'll be waiting awhile to find out since Cap's next feature will be as part of The Avengers.
Anyway, good movie, I suggest seeing it.
