Just watched Captain America on its official International Premiere, Super psyched about the whole thing, because I know that the whole thing will be developing into the next 3 to 4 movies.
It is anything as you expected of a super hero movie that brings you back to the past. The same old story of the origin of Captain America. I dun know if it’s because people have been accustom with the whole watch the current movie first then watch the prequel thing. To tell the truth, either because of the name, or the lack of promotion or the rather unmystical nature of Captain America Story or the wariness people have (in their mind and their pockets) that this summer block buster is not totally embraced. I was in a movie theater with less than half full to my surprise.
Anyway, the old story is, it’s WWII, the Nazi is rising and America created a Super Soldier. And the famous red scull is trying to conquer the world. The fight scene is fantastic. The effects is as close to perfection as Thor is. And Evan did a great job bringing the charismatic First Avenger to life.
Spoiler Alert!!!!!!!
There are scenes that doesn’t really interest people. The downgrading of Captain America not being embraced when he became super human and resort to being a circus clown scene to sell bond, is a shame smear of the hero, and though it’s short yet still it felt unease to watch and long repeated.
But as the fights begin, it’s all up hill, yet while Thor felt every scene is taken into care for, Captain’s fight scene felt rushed. All the fights and capture, felt like it’s a super fast and long winded introductory to the next movie, The Avengers really, I believe if the director could cut of one minute or so on the clown scene and add on a couple of minutes onto the fight scene or the transformation scene would makes the movie less rush and completed. Though these might add on an extra 15 min to the whole movie. but I believe people won’t mind.
Reminder!!!!!
In all Marvel movies fashion, there is always the end of credit short scene not to be missed. To wait for a few more minutes to get to it. Of course Captain America’s is the coming attraction to the Avengers movie. Don’t miss it.
