So I have just returned from watching Captain America: The First Avengers. So lets get straight to my review, don't worry I will avoid spoilers to the best of my ability. It was a good movie overall, now let me tell you my definition of good. It was a good story and the way movie ends definitely makes room for a sequel, now did you really think that their won't be any sequel. It's Hollywood, there ought to be sequel, no matter how good or bad the first movie was. Any how as I was saying, the story was good, it started a bit slow, but that was to familiarize audience with the character and his back story a bit. Then comes the transformation and Captain America himself. This movie was slightly different than other Marvel movies, first of all the story takes place in 1942 era, why wouldn't it this is the first Captain America movie and any comic book reader will know that Captain America was born or shall I say created in the Nazi time, but the movie doesn't bore you the surrounding don't look very outdated and you will still get to see some really innovative technology thanks to a scientist, innovator and entrepreneur extraordinaire who shall remain nameless.
The movie has good up's and downs and does a good job of introducing our newly beloved Captain; however, I felt the movie needed more serious action sequences. As much as I hate mindless action, where everything on the screen is blowing, Joe Johnston could have added a little more action scenes in the movie to make things more exciting. Chris Evans did a fair enough job playing Captain America, but I like him more as Johnny Storm, Human Torch from Fantastic Four
. Overall, it worth a watch. Oh by the way if you are a 3D fanatic then there is nothing special for you here the movies special effects weren't captivating and unlike other 3D movies I have seen, where there is this one scene that totally trips you out with its 3Dness, this movie didn't have that, but don't let that stop you from watching this movie. Hopefully, the sequel would be awesome. PS: Look out for The Avengers next summer if you want your fix of The Captain.
