Captain America! I remember seeing the old 90s Movie as a kid and thinking, "wow" hes got a shield and he's got a suit that looks like an american flag! LOL. It was all very colourful and great.
These days though would the Cap hold it against a very cool gadget and weapons driven Iron Man? A Web slinging Spiderman? Or Thor with his Mighty Hammer?
I think Captain America Is about more than just a man with super powers and weapons or gadgets. The Film focuses on the bravery and determination of one man, "Steve Rogers" deemed "not good enough" to join the army during World War 2 because he's too small and skinny.
But Rogers gets his chance to shine when hand picked to become Americas first Super Soldier in an experiment. Its not too long after this that he's running, leaping and muscle flexing all over Europe.
He also has to contend with one other super soldier. Hugo Weaving's, "Red Skull". An amazing bad guy in every respect and a match met for The Cap!
Cue lots of amazing action scenes, explosions, special FX and CGI battles. In 3D this film was awesome. lots popping out of the screen (especially the shield) throughout the film. But Rogers has to remember to do one thing whilst becoming a big hero. He must remember to be "Himself". The Steve Rogers that was picked for the experiment with heart, determination and selflessness and to not get lost in himself or change his ways when fame comes a knockin'.
This Film Just entertains and does it well. Good Plot, good characters and great Action! and it ties in very nicely with all the other marvel films for a nice lead up to the Avengers film coming out next year!
Its loads better than the cheesy 90s version (of course haha) and Is total enjoyment for super hero action nuts everywhere. buy it :)

Format:Blu-ray
Ok out of the three marvel movies we had in 2011 this is the one I thought I would like least. Well I was wrong! The old saying never judge a book by its cover or more aptly a film by its poster! Definitely in my opinion the best out of the three marvel movies this year and one of the closest to the source material. A story of heart over strength, that is untill a bit of US army genetic modification turns our small scrawny hero into the peak of the male species. A great little adventure which ends up with a nice little tie in to 2012 avengers movie. Also in the extras we get a little treat in the way of a special little movie set during iron man 2! Plenty of extras as usual with a stunning blu ray conversion and the DVD and digital copies thrown in. Enjoy this one, it's superb. Roll on the AVENGERS!

Well what a great film! Less bombastic than many of its stablemates such as Thor [DVD], and The Incredible Hulk [DVD], but still a gripping and action-packed superhero origin story, with a central character you can actually care about, and a villain (played sparingly by the excellent Hugo Weaving), both menacing and convincingly otherworldly.
The film sets up the Caps' appearance in Marvel's Avengers Assemble nicely, and in Chris Evans has a restrained but instantly likeable persona. Loved it!
