Movie Review: Captain America: The First Avenger

WARNING: THE FOLLOWING BLOG POST INCLUDES EXCESSIVE USAGE OF THE SHIFT KEY.


Captain America was, like most Marvel films, pretty great. The beginning was a little slow, but hey, you can't expect every movie to throw you right into the action. Steve Rogers starts out a wimpy little kid with a heart of gold, as most superheroes do, who, instead of growing up LIFTING WEIGHTS and WORKING OUT to become a MANLY MAN, is injected with STEROIDS turning him from a scrawny little toothpick into HOLY CRAP WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU WHY ARE YOU SO RIPPED.
After Stevey's transformation sequence he decides to go on a tour around the States with a bunch of showgirls. Then after MANNING THE HELL UP he joins the army, kills nazis, and punches Mr. Red Face McGee into a swirling vortex of death. One thing I didn't get is that toward the beginning of the film, Mr. Rogers says he never wants to kill anyone, but then by the end of the film he's taking out nazis left and right. Seems kinda hypocritical if you ask me. Oh, also Tommy Lee Jones makes a pretty good Army Colonel. Overall, I give Captain America an 8/10.
