Review of Captain America: The First Avenger (2011) by Dov D — 14 Apr 2014

Joe Johnston gives the audience every reason to enjoy this film; unfortunately, every single one of those reasons is the exact same as every other Avengers movie. Quite frankly, I'm just sick of this style superhero film.

Maybe I just saw this film too late, but I hate that Marvel can somehow get away with releasing the exact same film dressed as something else over and over and over again. The acting, direction, and effects are top notch, as one would expect, but the writing is so generic that it pisses me off.

Bottom line, most people will love this and every other superhero film Marvel releases, but there is absolutely no innovation to be found here.
