Intense sequences of sci-fi action and violence
In the middle of World War II, Steve Rogers is desperate to join the war effort and do his part for his country. He tries to enlist multiple times with no luck. Too small, frail and sickly for active duty, he is recruited by a scientist for the supersoldier program that will turn him into Captain America.
4.5 out of 5
Captain America is probably my favorite superhero after seeing this movie. Steve Rogers is a hero in his heart long before he has the physicality to be heroic. Better than that though, is that even after the experiment, he was willing to do what was needed, rather than do what he wanted to be doing.
After seeing the movie I was really curious what method was used for the shots of "skimpy" Steve, so I looked around to find out. From IMDB "The filmmakers had originally planned to hire a body double and superimpose Evans' face onto the double's body, but ultimately scrapped the idea since director Joe Johnston claimed that Evans moved in a unique way and that no body double could replicate his movements." I think this was definitely the best possible choice regardless of the actor chosen because they didn't have to try and train a body double to copy his style of movement.
Overall I found this to be a great movie. Good clean fun. While there is violence, it should be expected (and is often necessary) in a superhero movie.
