"One of the must-watch top recent movies of 2011."
Set in 1942, the new movie sees America in the middle of World War II. A sickly Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) who was rejected again for military service gets a chance of a lifetime when Dr. Erksine recruits him for Project Rebirth. Rogers willingly undergoes the experiment and enhanced into the maximum human potential. When Dr. Erksine is assassinated by an agent of Nazi Germany's HYDRA research department, Johann Schmidt aka the Red Skull, Rogers is left as the world's first and only super soldier. However, when his comrades need him, Rogers goes on a successful adventure that truly makes him Captain America and his war against Schmidt begins.
Captain America: The First Avenger is directed by Joe Johnson, well known for his portraying of the past times perfectly. The movie uses the all-time favorite plot: A good guy who is a weakling becomes powerful then eventually saves the day. Seen in many superhero movies, its a little too commonly used. Some action scenes are disappointing but at least the CGI effects are great to watch. They're watchable but some of them are pretty bland and poorly directed.
Chris Evans did a great job as Steve Rogers/Captain America. Hugo Weaving plays a villain well as the cruel and sadistic Red Skull. Fast talker Tommy Lee Jones is the comic relief here.
As a superhero movie, its enjoyable enough to watch. Patriotic, CGI strewn, and great casting, its one of the top recent movies you must watch. And oh, don't forget to watch the end credits scene.
