I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
The first must-see film of the year.
Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
You have watch the movie for Captain.You can get a good time for dialogues and action.
This movie does a good job of introducing Captain America, Bucky and Agent Parker and because of that the movie feels like a pilot for a series. It takes time to get going and the Red Skull is a weak bad guy. I know he is from Nazi Germsny but feels dated. There are plus points for this movie and is a solid 6/10 but I've learnt to expect more from the MCU.
As someone who loves him some superhero origin stories, and as someone who thinks Captain America is a great character if done right, this movie disappointed me on too many levels. I always felt baffled whenever I heard people say that this movie made Captain America awesome, or that it did an impossible task of making this character work. Because I want to ask them, "Did it, though?" In my opinion, no, it did not. The biggest problem with this movie is the clear lack of direction. The movie figures out what to do with its characters for the first hour, but then it completely loses its direction and turns into complete mess. And not only that, but the worst thing about this movie is how it easily missed an aspect that would've easily made its titular character stand out more - the contrast. The contrast is what this movie lacks. As Christopher Nolan once put it while describing his take on Batman, he said that his main intention was to make the world around Batman feel real, ordinary. Thus, when Batman comes to life, his character will stand out more, because the character will be the most extraordinary being his world. The First Avenger doesn't have that, because its world feel completely inauthentic and over-the-top. So when Captain America comes to being, he doesn't feel extraordinary. He feels like everything else. If the world around him was more authentic, darker. and hopeless, his bright and optimistic character would feel more noticeable. But as it is, he's just another wacko in this big circus of over-the-top visuals and corny bad guys.
True courage lies in the heart and not in the hands is the basic idea portrayed by the movie. This is an interesting fantasy that takes us back in history and presents the creation of strong superhero out of an experiment. Also the shield, its built up is an add-on. Wonderful stuff for watching and enjoying. But at the same time screenplay and acting are worth noting.
