Captain America: The First Avenger is based on the Marvel Comics character from World War II. A brave and young soldier named Steve Rogers (Chris Evans), volunteers to undergo a series of experiments for a US army Super Soldier program.
The military succeeds in transforming him into a human weapon, but quickly decide that their Super Soldier is far too expensive a creation to risk in combat. So, they decide to put him to use as an army celebrity and parade him across Europe to boost morale.
He is even given a costume that bear the colors of Old Glory for the stage. Then, when a Nazi plot reveals itself Rogers must rise up and and become the First Avenger, in order to save his country.
Steve Rogers becomes Captain America and he earns his way into the hearts and souls of every American, bringing hope and justice to the nation. Later, during a mission to Germany to stop his archenemy, The Red Skull, Captain America sacrifices himself and winds up frozen in ice - only to be discovered 6 decades later.
The movie started off well, with skinny Steve Rogers wanting to be part of the army but often ignored due to his size and lack of physique. After an experiment conducted by Dr. Abraham Erskine (Stanley Tucci) he transformed into a super solider - stunning bigger body and abs to be obvious.
The evolution of the story line was good - one pace at a time, especially when Rogers became an army celebrity. Bet no one expected that, he could have been a hero right away instead.
With the assistance of Agent Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell) and Howard Stark (Dominic Cooper), Iron Man Tony Stark's dad, Rogers finally became a true American hero - called Captain America.
Agent Carter was inspirational to Captain America and eventually they had feelings for each other. She's beautiful, spirited and sexy to a certain extent, I guess.
The best scene has to be the part when Rogers decided be a hero himself by saving his comrades from the clutches of Red Skull's army. He literally sneaked into the fort and released all the captives. The freed American soldiers then fought back and eventually came back to base - with Steve Rogers (Captain America) leading the group.
By proving his worth, he began leading soldiers into enemy lines, led by Johann Schmidt (Hugo Weaving), also known as the Red Skull.
Despite being action-packed and entertaining, the plot was pretty mediocre and predictable. Red Skull lost (unfortunately not killed, just sucked into some portal) and Captain America finally saved the day, by being frozen though.
Chris Evans is definitely the main attraction of the movie - with amazing body and his charming looks. Definitely a good character choice for the leading hero role.
By the way, remember to stay back until the credit ends. There's an Easter egg of scenes from the upcoming The Avengers movie in 2012. Possible characters to appear - Tony Stark (Iron Man), Thor, The Hulk, Loki (from Thor) and many more!
Noobie Rating: 6/10 (Watch for the fun of it)
