Review


I had great expectations for Captain America: The First Avenger despite the fact that I never followed the comic or cartoon as a child. Despite the movie taking a while to develop, I did not feel any connection to the characters. On the other hand, Colonel Chester Phillips did bring some chuckles. The 3D in this film was not necessary, so if you are really interested in checking out this film you can save a few dollars by skipping that feature. Nonetheless, I was disappointed. Captain America does not stand tall among the other Avenger member movies which have come before it. This could simply be because Captain America simple isn't as awesome as the rest. That being said, I look forward to the Avengers which is set to release on May 4,  2012.
