Theaters were filled across the country to see the film Captain America: The First Avenger. From the very first scene my curiosity was sparked. Going into this film I really did not know anything about Captain America. I had not viewed any other movies or read a comic book about him or seen a cartoon. So with all honesty with nothing else to compare the performance with I will say that Chris Evans portrayed Captain America magnificently.
His look and his mannerisms were very on point because the image of Captain America is strong, but at the same time very meek and humble.
Hugo Weaving, probably best known for his role as Agent Smith in The Matrix trilogy, played the nemesis Red Skull. His look and speech added the icing on top of the proverbial villainous cake.
Hayley Atwell plays Peggy Carter the love interest of Captain America and she is tough because she is a woman in a male dominated time it is the 1940's.
Also in the film is Tommy Lee Jones who plays Colonel Chester Phillips, Stanley Tucci as Dr. Abraham Erskine as well as Derek Luke as Gabe Jones and others.
This film was GOOD. The action scenes, dialogue, and acting were very good, but my only problem with the film was that a few of the scenes were too long and drawn out. But, is it worth your time and money? Yes.
The ending is a bit of a surprise.
