Captain America The First Avenger is a tantalizing adaptation that brings a Comic Book hero to life with class and style. Joe Johnston created a near perfect blend of fantasy and reality in bringing the world of Captain America to life. This movie has all the special effects of “Thor” and ads a level of realism and character development that is severely lacking in most of the “Comic Book” movies put out today. Captain America actually has a plot that you can follow and will be welcomed by those of us who like our movies to have depth.
Chris Evans, who plays Steve Rogers, Captain America, does a masterful job of bringing out the trials of someone determined to forge their own path in life. The movie also holds true to its roots by giving us looks at other characters like Howard Stark, the father of Iron Man Tony Stark, and one of my favorites, Nick Fury, who is played by the legend Samuel L. Jackson. Hopefully the studios will make Nick Fury a movie soon. Tommy Lee Jones was great as Colonel Phillips and Stanley Tucci was very believable as Erskine, the scientist who transforms Steve Rogers into Captain America. Hayley Atwell plays Peggy Carter, who is close to Steve and she looks like the perfect 1940′s pin up girl.
Captain America blends seamlessly into the vivid 1940′s world and Jonston has created a masterpiece of a movie from a comic book. This film has enough action, special effects, and stunts to keep any kid interested. My kid was cheering through the whole movie. It also has a storyline that any adult can follow and enjoy, even if you are not a comic book fan. I would recommend this movie for adults and kids alike.
