I just saw it,and gave it 6/10.

Recent Marvel movies have had post-credit scenes.This one sucked,because it was literally a teaser trailer for THE AVENGERS.Oh,I was teased alright.

I don't want this to be nominated for anything,not even if Chris Evans gets nominated for WHAT'S YOUR NUMBER?.

I think Hollywood takes for granted what young audiences truly want, and this is the evidence:

Out of all superhero films that have come out this year, Captain America is not only the best one, but is also the only one that I actually liked. Now, some might argue that X-Men: First Class was fantastic (I am NOT a fan of Thor), but, while not bad, I felt it didn't reach its potential. As for Captain America, its main distinction to other summer films is that it doesn't dive right into the action. I appreciated the time it took to develop its characters, and, gee, there actually seemed to be a story going on here. I also have to warn those of you who might expect a straight up action flick to not get your hopes high. Although it didn't bother me, it does take a while before an action scene actually appears.

Another distinction that separates itself from other superhero films is the look of the film, coinciding its setting in 1942. Captain America looks and feels like an old-fashion film, and I really embraced it. This is also due to Alan Silvestri's score, which feels more classic than modern film scores. Our protagonist, Steve Rogers, feels like a real person which adds an emotional weight to the film. We feel for him and want him to succeed in his goal. And once the story is set up and the action finally comes to play, the action doesn't seem to appear for action's sake. It actually propels the story. It also doesn't hurt having a romance brewing between him and Peggy Carter. It was sweet and didn't feel forced to me.

Chris Evans plays the title character and he's great playing both the skinny, average Joe and the buff, all-American hero. He certainly steps up his performance here compared to his other superhero character, Johnny Storm. He brings a sort of charisma and puppy dog charm to his role, and it seems like an automatic response to be on his side when we first meet his character. Hayley Atwell is totally believable as his love interest as well. I would love to see what other things she has to offer in future roles. With all good superhero films, there must be a villain to match it. In that case, it's not surprising that Hugo Weaving doesn't disappoint. Just as the person he is, he can withhold an audience's attention without even trying.

I also liked the relationship between Evans and Sebastian Stan, who plays his best friend. It felt authentic. Tommy Lee Jones brings a few laughs as well. Playing Tony Stark's father, Dominic Cooper thankfully doesn't feel like an Iron Man character being in an Avenger's flick just to string in the Avenger characters together because Thor and Iron Man 2 felt like films made just for the Avengers flick rather than individual films themselves. Stanley Tucci is good in a small role, although the German accent does push it a little.

With a good story, great characters, great action scenes, and an involving narrative, Captain America is definitely a hit for Marvel Studios. The unique 1940s setting also sets itself apart from other superhero films, and Chris Evans is terrific in the title role. Captain America doesn't feel like your usual popcorn summer flick, and maybe it's a good thing it isn't. Also, stay after the credits to see a cool Avengers trailer. 8/10]]> Sat, 23 Jul 2011 22:01:51 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5190&PID=44314#44314 Member Discussion of CAPTAIN AMERICA : Comedy gold, my friend. http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5190&PID=44311#44311 Author: jesse685

R.T. isn't a perfect system,but aside from it and Metacritic there aren't more trust worthy sites.Although the numbers in R.T. can be wrong(and they've been in some ocassions),the concensus sentence is never wrong.Maybe this movie deserves less than 68-75%,or more,but according to the concensus is a good movie either way.

It looks like we have a critical hit in Captain Am, at least according to RottenTomatoes. And since RT is viewed by so many on this site as the source of all things worth knowing about a film, I guess that pretty much seals it, unless of course someone were to actually, you know, see the thing and report about it. What a concept. I had my misgivings about the film, too, but now I am curious and may actually see it.

Note: I am increasingly distrustful of RT and care less and less about it's goofy numbers. Sucker Punch was a brilliant movie and The Tree of Life, it tears me up to say this, was at best a sad reminder of how far the great Terry has fallen. Why don't we just drop RT completely?

Hollywood is not going to stop making comic book movies until they all start being box office bombs. Good luck with that ever happening, considering comic book fan bases date back 7 decades. So, if you don't like them, simply don't watch them.
