Review: Captain America The First Avenger “Finally, a real Comic Book Movie.”

Captain America The First Avenger is a tantalizing adaptation that brings a Comic Book hero to life with class and style.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon has admitted that working on the script for the upcoming superhero movie The Avengers is proving difficult as Marvel have placed enormous stipulations on the project. Talking to The Sydney Morning Herald, the director revealed that there are parts of his script that will never ever get filmed due to Marvel’s constraints… “I’m working on a movie that’s got enormous stipulations and is going to be changing and fluid every second.
