We’re counting down to the premier of The Avengers, by watching all the movies that lead up to it.
This week we review CAPTAIN AMERICA.
Summary:
Set in WWII, young man Steve Rogers wants to join the military and fight for his country. However, he is turned down due to many health issues and his small frame. After talking to his friend Bucky, who has been accepted, he trys to enlist again. After hearing his conversation with Bucky about how much he wants to fight, Dr. Abraham Erskine allows him to join.
Rogers is recruited into the “Super Soldier” experiment, under Erskine and Colonel Chester Phillips, and British agent Peggy Carter. After seeing Rogers risk his life for the rest of his troop in an act of bravery, they decide he is the right one for their experiment. Soon after, they expose Rogers to the Super Soldier treatment, injecting him with crazy chemicals and lasers and whatnot.
He emerges completely ripped and taller, and capable of superhuman feats. What becomes of Rogers?

My Thoughts
Plot: 9/10
Acting:9/10
Entertainment Value: 7/10
Overall Rating: 9/10
This was a really good movie with…an ending worth watching…..hard to say anything more without giving it away.
Captain America was better than Thor, and a really good movie overall. A few slow parts, but oh well.
You DEFINITELY need to watch this to see The Avengers, because there are quite a few questions unanswered that will probably be answered in The Avengers.
Other Stuff:
An appropriate age would be 10 or 11; there is much more violence in this movie than Thor (explosions, guns, somebody goes through a helicopter propeller if I recall correctly) but none of it is very graphic.
Mom Says:
I was busy working when the boys watched this so I have nothing constructive to say, other than stylistically it was very pretty and there were a couple of lines that made me snort. Sorry. I’ll catch up and update once I’ve seen it.
Hello, its fastidious paragraph on the topic of media print, we all understand media is a enormous source of
information.
Hola! I’ve been following your website for some time now and finally got the bravery to go ahead and give you a shout out from Dallas Texas! Just wanted to tell you keep up the excellent work!
First of all I would like to say awesome blog! I had a quick question which I’d like to ask if you don’t mind.
I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear your mind prior to writing.
I’ve had a hard time clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out. I truly do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally lost just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or tips? Kudos!
