Format: DVD
With the new version of the story released last year, a lot of people have forgotten the 1990 version of the story as they have the 1970's TV movies. The 1990 version of Captain America was put together by Menahem Golan's short lived 21st Century Film Corporation. Golan's company was formed after he lost control of Cannon Films (Death Wish sequels, American Ninja and various Chuck Norris epics) and to be honest Captain America is all but in name a Cannon film. That should give you some idea of how Marvel's character would be put on screen.

The story we all know is that Steve Rogers (Matt Salinger), the sickly all American boy is transformed into Cap and gets frozen in ice after battling The Red Skull. Waking up in the 90's Rogers learns that Skull is still alive and living in Italy (well, filmed in the old Yugoslavia actually). So we now have a story involving the President of America, a shady General and the Skull still wanting to take over the world.

Director Albert (Cyborg, Dollman) Pyun does well with obviously a low budget and the film is quite charming once you get past the naff music score and some very scary late 80's fashions. It also has a great supporting cast including Ronny Cox, Ned Beatty and Darren McGavin. What's also terrific is that Cap's uniform is cool and he uses his iconic shield a fair amount staying faithful to the source material.

I haven't seen it in years (since the old 20/20 vision video release in a big silver box) and it's nice to see it being released now after such a long time being unavailable. It's sitting proudly on my shelf next to the Bill Bixby Hulk DVD's and my collection of Nick Hammond 1970's Spidey films, now there is a series that should be released.

Long before their current success in the world of movies, Marvel had several aborted and somewhat disasterous forays onto the silver screen, and this was one of them.

Released back in 1990, and whilst originally intended for a cinematic release, this movie was so poorly received that it was ultimately released straight to DVD, but is it really as bad as you might be lead to believe? The answer is yes, but a little bit no, but mainly yes...

Lets concentrate on the good:

Firstly, I thought that Matt Salinger actually did a pretty good job of portraying the frail Steve Rogers, and later Captain America. He very much satisfied the image I had of the tall, blonde, lantern-jawed Captain America, even if his acting ability left a little to be desired. In addition to that, Scott Paulin does a pretty good job of playing the sinister villain, the Red Skull.

I also thought that the film did a good job with Caps costume and shield, and the make-up for the Red Skull. Keeping an open mind about the fact that the film really was produced on a shoe-string budget, Caps uniform is an almost entirely accurate replica of that worn by his comic book counterpart, and somehow manages not to look too silly - that is so long as you can ignore the fact that rather than cut holes in the head piece for Salingers ears to fit through, the designers instead decided to stick rubber ears on each side of it (seriously, go look!).

The highlight of the film is definately the first half an hour or so.

Taking part in a secret super soldier experiment in the 1940s, Steve Rogers becomes the American icon Captain America. After an altercation with the Red Skull, he is trapped in ice for fifty years before being thawed out in 1993. Upon awakening, Steve must come to grips with being a man out of time and also that the Red Skull is still alive and is leader of a powerful crime family. Steve must track down the Red Skull, with each clue giving more insight into his own past and bringing him one step closer to his arch enemy to settle a fight that began half a century before.

This flick is your classic Captain America story, that is, his origin, his World War II beginnings, battling Red Skull, being frozen, awakening in the future and reconnecting with his old enemy who is still active.

I remember seeing this as a kid and liking it. Saw it recently a few years back and still liked it. It's not the greatest superhero movie, but it still holds its own all these years later.

It's very much Steve Rogers's story as he's Captain America for a little bit then isn't for a good while, then is again in terms of him getting into costume. As a kid, you don't care about story and just want to see the superhero. As an adult, you see the big picture so don't mind the non-costumed parts. It's a story about a journey, both for Steve and even for Red Skull as you watch Steve wrestle with himself for being from the past and how everything's changed, and also the different things he finds out as he searches for his enemy.

The Captain America costume is very rubbery, but it's way better than the one that appeared in the 1979 movies and looks pretty good overall.
