Review – Captain America: The First Avenger

I’ve never been a super big Captain America fan, so I’m not quite sure how true this is to what a real buff would expect (I’m told by the fan I consulted that the script was a typical Hollywood blend of faithfulness and liberty). Personally, I was in the mood for something noisy and expensive, and on those counts this did the trick. Though I wasn’t crazy about the Captain when I was younger, I did like the Red Skull, one of the few genuinely villainous villains, a guy with no redeeming qualities at all whatsoever, ably played here by Hugo Weaving. Beyond that this appeared to be a lot of set-up for the upcoming Avengers movie. Mildly amusing
