I need to preface this post by saying that the only reason I saw this film is because The Avengers is coming out soon, and I want to be prepared for what looks like a pretty great superhero movie. I have not read any of the comics so this is the only way for me to get background information on the characters, and having seen all the other "preliminary" movies I figured it was only fair that I give Captain America a chance. Big mistake. Huge.
Enough with the montages - he is scrawny and sucks at his military training; he is performing in tights and raising money for bonds; he is searching out Hydra weapons plants - I get it. Enough with the slow-motion flying through the air - I get it, he can leap tanks in a single bound. Enough with the bad green screen - didn't you have the money to shoot on actual sets or locations, or at least do a halfway decent job at faking it?
A surprisingly good supporting cast, albeit Hugo Weaving strangely reminded me of Arnie as Mr. Freeze haha Did anyone else get that? HA
I cannot imagine life without movies, but am in no way what one might typically think of as a film student. I admit to watching and often enjoying foreign films, but to be perfectly frank I love nothing more than your down n’ dirty cheesy Hollywood action flick. Generally I watch all sorts of films so have a recommendation for almost anyone; except horror (no point with my eyes shut) or anything depressingly sad (film is for fun, not tears). This is raw “real me to real you” film feedback.
