The First Avenger: Captain America (MC: 66, RT: 77%)

[Arvin]

amazing. that is all.

[Delirium]

Thought it was good, though I enjoyed Thor

Totally geeked out at the post credits scene.

[Milkster]

Movie was amazing. Can not wait for Avengers. If you find fault, you're trying too hard.

Seriously, every fucking little detail is just so god damn perfect. Stark toying with the little cosmic cube sample tying into IM2s story, and I'm fully convinced Red Skull is absolutely still alive and roaming one of the other realms. I loved everything about it. I felt bittersweet about him taking down the aircraft and basically having to sacrifice himself. I hope they do the whole Peggys younger family falling in love with Rogers, don't want him screwed out of a love interest.

Really enjoyed it, though I think I still liked Thor a bit better. That could just be because of Portman/Dennings. My only gripe:

Spoiler: show

Stark Industries had access to those laser guns for 70 years and was never able to replicate them for mass production? c'man

Sherlock Holmes trailer, Spiderman trailer, Mission Impossible trailer, Batman trailer > Captain America > Avengers trailer. Best 2:30 I've spent in a theater IMO.

[Makwa]

Ugh, we only got MI, some bullshit movie with that twilight guy and another movie about zombies or some sickness. No Spiderman or Batman. Least the Avengers trailer was worth it.

Spoiler: show

Bucky's "death" caught me off guard. I figured they would've both made it to the aircraft at least. Looks like possible Winter Soldier angle for the future though.
Also, even though both my brothers and a couple friends went to see Thor with me, they didn't even pick up when he said the cube was Odin's treasure, and when it "activated" it showed other realms. Looking forward to his return if he does. Hugo Weaving's awesome.

[Deftscythe]

Hugo Weaving's awesome.

Agreed. That scene where

Spoiler: show

the doctor is remembering Schmidt and he's marching in front of the flag made me lol. Suddenly there's like 15 of him and I'm like "Oh god it's Smith!"

Saw a midnight showing and thought the movie really held it's own. I had doubts about Evans but he did really well in the role. When the movie ended and I looked at my phone for the time, I couldn't believe how long the movie really was. Almost 2 hours and it really flew through and didn't feel like it dragged. Really impressed. May see it again with a friend though I don't think I missed anything.

[WahiGuard]

What maybe because it was in 3d but I was kinda disappointed. The pacing felt off, That little montage scene when their destroying the factories just took me out of the film. The after credits scene was GODLY though. Chris Evans did a really good Cap, and the ending was good too. Thor was soo much better and I was really excited for this. I`ll watch it again in 2d though.

I just hate 3d.

[Akiyama]

Yeah.. I'm looking forward to seeing it, mostly for the after-credits scene than the actual movie, Haha. Just wanna see it on the big screen.

[6souls]

any of you notice that Cap's shield was shown in the first Iron Man movie?

[Qalbert]

and there's this (got cut from final version which is lame) from The Hulk, spoilery I guess

Spoiler: show

[Tyrath]

Its there in Iron Man 2 as well, more noticeable this time

[Siatdiat]

So... people have been alive for the past 3 years and not known that their was an Avengers movie in the works?

[Qalbert]

pretty sure he was kidding, and it's surprising people are falling for it.

[tyven]

i enjoyed it, not quite as much as thor or iron man but still very good. loved tommy lee jones

[vrumpt]

Enjoyed the movie, although i felt the love interest scenes brought the movie down. Best thing you can do is see the after-credits clip in a room full of hungry marvel fans.

[Lenus]

I liked this movie more then Thor, mainly because imo the love relationship was done better then the one in Thor, I swear she was useless and just horny in all her scenes, especially the ending when the bridge is destroyed which just buged me to no end.

[Elvis]

great movie. i liked how they didn't make captain america into a bro-box-master-chief-dbagsicle.

when he was asked, tongue-in-cheek, by the german scientist...

Spoiler: show

whether he wanted to kill Nazis - he said, he didnt want to kill anyone but that he didn't like bullies. that was perfect.

the movie wasn't in-your-nuts patriotic, but it was still captain america. captain america could have been a very niche character.

he was created during a unique era and that defined him. so putting him in the present-era, can be problematic since he is so symbolic.

especially in a post-Vietnam America.

i figure these comic book movies are about as good as the mileage of the hero's dilemmas and vices. (which is why Batman movie-wise, vis a vis Nolan, is great; the psychology, the chance that he can't sustain the lifestyle, the possibility that he's more of a problem than a solution)

so the way the movie was able to deal with the theme of weak-man-strong-heart (universal, and explained in his own words), was it's strength.

if he had been portrayed as a Team-America caricature, it would have rightly been a parody

things i didn't like were minor...like the stupid salute the red skull soldiers did or the generic band of bros (the black guy didn't even have a name) (and they all looked way too clean for being PoWs, even if it was for a short while)

were those people in the comics?

bucky was cool. hope he comes back in later movies for some screen-time

red skull was great. hugo weaving ftw

ive been reading a lot of reviews where the reviewer bitches about how the movie spent too much time tying into the avengers flick...and that's just stupid. this movie was able to tell its own story (the only story you could tell for Cap, in that time period, before it drags and gets boring) and at the same time, tie-in to future franchise films.
