Inviso 02/09/21 12:19:15 PM #429:	Paratroopa1 I don't have a lot to say about this one. It's a serviceable origin story. I thought Captain America would be a really lame superhero, just because I thought the whole patriotism schtick wouldn't work for me, but they manage to make Captain America one of the most likeable characters in the MCU even for an America-hater like me. I don't really like war films so this one isn't really my vibe, though the best part of the movie is when Captain America becomes like the mascot for the military and doing like song and dance numbers to sell war bonds. Red Skull is an absurdly boring villain and I don't really remember much about this movie, but it's really carried by its protagonist. Corrik7 This movie simply put is very boring. It is cool to see his origin, and how he operated in World War 2. The backstory and outline of his character is of course very essential and very important later on. However, it just is a really boring movie. Even the end fight just ends with the villain randomly teleporting. Not even really being defeated. I guess it is alright, but it's hard to get through without feeling tired. Cybat This is such a paint-by-numbers period piece superhero movie that Wonder Woman copied the structure of it almost exactly (barring the differences in their origins). Right down to a soldier named Steve performing a heroic sacrifice in a plane at the end. Hugo Weaving was a good choice for the Red Skull, but there wasnt that much for him - or almost anyone - to do. The musical number in the middle was funny though. And Hayley Atwell made a good enough impression to get her own show and, eventually, earn her right to be in the final scene of the highest-earning movie of all time. ScepterOfLove (No write-up.) MetalmindStats Can someone tell me why so many MCU fans seem to hold a torch for such a thoroughly dull film (besides the obvious differences in opinion)? There cant be that many people crushing on Peggy Carter, an appealing but distinctly underwritten character whos nonetheless the best thing her movie has going for it. VengefulKaelee This movie has one brilliant scene in it: the Alan Menken musical number where Captain America sells war bonds. Other than that one scene (which is just as good out of context anyway), I honestly find this one quite dull. It's not a bad movie per se only one of these movies is truly bad but it really doesn't do much for me at all. Steve Rogers works better as a man out of his own time, and stuff like the Peggy Carter romance and Red Skull as a villain in general just comes off as fairly trite. Illuminatusbubu I hate Captain America. His character is annoying. The story is somehow clich, cheesy, and simplistic at the same time. If it was for my boyfriend kept dragging to watch more MCU movies this would be the end of MCU journey for me. --- Touch fuzzy. Get fuzzier. Inviso <cite>Inviso posted [p:950451105] in Board 8 Ra...
