Review of Captain America (1990) by Sgt. C — 29 Sep 2014

(38%).

Just before the days of mega budget, effect ridden, super blockbuster Marvel comic book movies, the world had this, and compared to the brilliant Batman movie released around the same this is pretty weak. What this rather forgettable movie does show though is how far these movies have come in quite a short period of time.

The most notable aspect of this is how old and dated it looks. Its release was delayed and it really shows as this feels more like an early 80's movie than an early 90's one.

Matt Salinger as the title role gives a dull performance throughout, particularly for a man that not only was given super powers, but frozen in time for decades, as he may as well be doing his taxes. Couple that with a plot that is very loose around the edges and your left with a movie that can only be enjoyed as a curiosity piece and nothing more.
