The first avenger and the final piece of the puzzle leading up to 2012's anticipated super team endeavour The Avengers, Captain America makes a solid effort with the final origin story behind the team. A scrawny military reject Steve Rogers is recruited to test a super soldier serum that will turn him into the iconic hero patriot with a purity and bravery that will help turn the tides of World War II. The all-American tale hits the mark but it isn't quite right, the story fails to flow and instead feels more like two short films forced together.The main thing that I enjoyed about this film (apart from the rather attractive Chris Evans in Lycra *SWOON*) is the little pointers that connect this film to other Avenger films. Such as the introduction of Howard Stark, an inventor and genius and the father of Tony Stark (Iron Man). It is little touches like this along with Samuel L. Jackson reprising his role as Nick Fury, the director of the super-spy agency, S.H.I.E.L.D.
It was a good film but seemed to drag on a bit, go and see it and try to be in awe of Hugo Weaving as the bad guy.
My Star Rating:
7/10 *
