Captain America Review


The story of the first avenger was a movie I couldn’t wait to see as it was the last of the avengers. Chris Evans plays Steve Rogers, a skinny kid from Brooklyn whose dream is to join the army. There’s just one problem, he’s 5 foot nothing and 90 pounds. As many of you know he gets picked to participate in the super soldier program where he is transformed into Captain America. The army sees him as an asset but not in combat. He is sent around the country performing songs to get people to buy bonds and support the war effort. After a trip to Europe to support the troops he hears about his best friend who may have died or been captured. Steve heads out to find him. He finds his friend along with 400 more soldiers that the villain (the red skull) has captured. From there we see Captain America leading his own troop on various missions to destroy hydra. Hydra is what the red skull is working on and it is basically a very powerful weapon that destroys everything. Captain America eventually fights the red skull and defeats him on a plane. The plane is headed to New York and will destroy much of the city so Rogers takes action into his own hands and crash lands the plane in the middle of no where. He wakes up 70 years later in present day New York under the supervision of none other than Nick Fury. The action in this movie was well done although they did use a lot of slow motion, which kind of annoyed me. The most interesting part of this movie was after the credits where we got to see The Avengers trailer. The trailer was very rough but it still looked promising. Overall the movie was a 7/10.
