Very Cool!!!

So much average

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

The star spangled hero must battle a villain's plan to poison America with a chemical that horrifically accelerates the aging process. I don't know what is worse the fact that a 2nd Captain America was released with the title 'Captain America II: Death Too Soon' or the fact that Christopher Lee agreed to appear on such travesty? as such a typical villain who seeks world domination and nothing more? This movie is truly freaking bad and even once again Captain America wears that ridiculous outfit and just thank god that both this and the 90's version bombed and instead we got Chris Evans as a serious and cool Captain America and not something like this jeez. (0/10)

This is an awful movie, much worse than its prequel "Captain America" from the same year, 1979. The action scenes are ridiculous, the soundtrack is horrible (perhaps the worst I have ever listened, together with Captain Battle's) and acting is as bad as in the previous Captain America TV film.Besides that, the words "terrorism" and "revolution" are used as synonyms, and the hero attacks workers in the harbor because there is a chance that they are the ones who deal with illegal commodities (but off course it was possible that they were innocent!).Everything is bad in "Captain America II: Death Too Soon", in spite (or not) of Christopher Lee (yes! he did not act badly) as the villain.

Just watched this, the second Captain America TV movie from the late '70s starring Reb Brown, on YouTube. Since Cap has more of a presence here that ups the entertaining quotient quite a bit as does the appearance of Christopher Lee as a villain named General Miguel. He wants to hurry-up an aging process on some people in exchange for some money from the U.S. government. There's actually quite some good scenes of a lamb seen already dead from the formula and seeing Lee get his comeuppance at the end was also effective. But the fights are as cheesy as in the last entry and that not-big-enough shield of Cap's is soooo slow to work as an effective boomerang weapon. My favorite campy moment was when he was at that prison trying to escape when he decides to throw his motorcycle up in the air (with the appropriate slo-mo film speed and deliberately weird sound effects) to the sidewalk way up above and makes a perfect landing with it and then jumps way up high for the same effect. That was obviously an inspiration from "The Six Million Dollar Man" which like this film was from Universal. Before I end this review, I have to note that the female scientist played by Heather Menzies in the previous movie is now played by Connie Sellecca-years before she was cast in "The Greatest American Hero"-but unlike there, this doctor doesn't seem to have a relationship with Cap or his alter ego, Steve Rogers. So on that note, Captain America II: Death Too Soon is worth a look.

Reb Brown is back as Captain America in this second parter of what was supposedly going to be a TV series. I definitely prefer this one than the first because it has a lot more action, a bigger budget, and it's way more goofier!! Christopher Lee plays a baddie named Miguel(HUH?). That's almost as bad as when he played Fu Manchu. Watch for a thug named Stader who's a dead ringer for Joe Don Baker's Mitchell (MITCHELL!).I noticed this showcased a more human side of Steve Rogers. He doesn't have to help the elderly with the gangs who are bullying them, but he does. Steve would rather be painting or just chill by the beach. Sure, he dons his red white and blue garb, but he spends a lot of time investigating as Steve Rogers which adds a more likability factor. Steve finds out the truth to the adage 'words may never hurt me, but baseball bats really pack a wallop'. There's a romantic side story here where Reb Brown shows that he's an all around good guy. Don't forget the one liners - they're in the contract!Much of the entertainment comes from Captain America breaking boxes with his mega punch, bruising up dock workers, performing a banister slide attack, and a hang glider scene rivaled only by Ator's in Cave Dwellers. There's a hilarious forklift scene which was later paid homage in the masterpiece Fugitive Alien (KEN!). During the dam scene, I wonder if the director yelled, 'Cut! Oh, man. See if Reb's alright. MEDIC! We need a medic here!!'All in a day's work for a superhero from Cali.
