Captain America(The First Avenger)






When Captain America throws his mighty shield, well, it returns. Pretty cool eh? Kiddin' aside, this flick met many of my expectations.

One of these expectations was Captain America's abilities. I knew when I was a kid(around 2nd Grade) that he was no mutant, but he could do stuff that ordinary humans couldn't. And there he was, runnin' fast and jumpin' high and stuff.
All that stuff that Captain America does, you would know by playing Marvel Superheroes

Another expectation was Hugo Weaving's Red Skull portrayal. I knew that he could easily pull that stuff off!
I also expected The Red Skull to be noseless, just like any other skull.

I just didn't expect some inaccuracies when it came to WWII details. When it came to segregation, the blacks(or technically, the Afro-Americans) should have their own battalion or somethin'. But here in this flick, I caught a glimpse of a black dude training with the whites in boot camp.
A thorough lynching should be in place here.

Another inaccuracy was that Asian dude who said that he was "..from Fresno ace!". He shouldn't be there fighting in WWII for the Americans. He should be in those concentration camp-like thingies with the other Japs.
Since pictures of concentration camps would be inappropriate in this comedic review, here's Papa Smurf instead.

Another inaccuracy was of that guy who played Buck Compton in Band Of Brothers(my fave true war story TV series). He sported a mustache like Von Kaiser in Mike Tyson's Punch Out. Gen. Eisenhower would have that shaved in 0000 hrs, or in no time!

Wel what the heck?! This is a comic book adaptation anyway. To hell with historical accuracy! All I care about is the awesomeness of Captain America! He really kicked assholes!
I was also kinda' waitin' for this dude(Tommy Lee Jones) to get his ass kicked, which sadly didn't happen.

This gets an 8/10.
Minus .5 for Tommy Lee Jones not gettin' his as kicked.
Minus .5 for Chris Evans playin' two dudes in the same Marvel Universe.
As you can remember, this motherf*cker also played The Human Torch. The greedy bastard!

Overall rating is 7/10
