Review of Captain America: The First Avenger (2011) by Gordon H — 13 May 2016

My Favorite Summer Movie of 2011!

Originally written July 29, 2011 -.

Set predominantly during World War II, 'Captain America: The First Avenger' tells the story of Steve Rogers (Chris Evans), a sickly man from Brooklyn who is transformed into super-soldier Captain America to aid in the war effort. Rogers must stop the Red Skull (Hugo Weaving), Adolf Hitler's ruthless head of weaponry and the leader of an organization that intends to use an artifact called the 'Tesseract' as an energy-source for world domination!

This is the best summer movie of 2011 -- by far! Wow! What a fantastic movie! I love superhero movies anyway, but the origin story for Steve Rogers becoming Captain America is one of the best I have ever seen! Definitely buying this one when it comes out on Blu-ray!
