Review of Captain America: The First Avenger (2011) by Barneyonmt — 29 Apr 2016

WHAT I LIKE: It's a real back to basics classic Superhero film, 'Captain America' is a real classic. Perhaps most shockingly, the WW2 theme really works here - certainly being more authentic than many expected. What's more is there's a genuinely emotional part at the end that provokes a very rare sadness amongst a Marvel audience. Think it's all gone soft, though, and you'd be wrong, because Johnston packs this full of well-choreographed action scenes and exciting moments that make this a film to remember.

WHAT I DON'T LIKE: It's not the most mature affair if I'm honest!

VERDICT: This is a classic Superhero film with a touch of emotion and thrilling action. Phase 1's best solo film? Quite possibly.
