Captain America: The First Avenger (美國隊長) is an 2011 Marvel film. The movie stars Chris Evans, Tommy Lee Jones, and Hugo Weaving. The supporting cast includes Stanley Tucci, Hayley Atwell, and Sebastian Stan. Captain America probably didn't do well enough in the US box office to green light a sequel. Captain America is one of primary characters in next years Avengers movie.
Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) wants desperately to join the army during WWII. In New York City, Steve tries repeatedly and is turned away each time. Mainly because he appears too weak. However, his patriotism is notice by a scientist. This scientist is looking to make a super solider serum. Looking for the right person, Steve Rogers qualifies with flying colors. Injected with the super solider serum, Steve Rogers body is enhanced to 100% and grows a few inches to boot. However, Red Skulls minions infiltrate the experiment and kill the scientist. Leaving Steve as the only subject, but a successful one. The US gov't decides to have Steve trout around the world as a beacon of hope for victory. Hoever, Steve again desperately wants to be in the thick of the action serving his country. Eventual getting into the action, he tracks down Red Skull and they go at it. If you know the Story, he is launched out by a rocket and lands in an icy place to be perserved. The movie ends with his discovery 70 years later and being asked to be part of the Avengers.
The movie was one of the most enjoyable action films I watched this year. No fanfare, just tell a great story and let the action speak for itself. Very well made movie. Its too sad that no sequel is in the works and that Captain America's big screen appearances will be in other movies like the Avengers. Chris played Steve Rogers straight up. A patriotic guy that wanted to serve his country. There was any extra character development needed. There wasn't any extra gimmicks needed to move the story along.
If you're looking for an fun action film, you got it with Captain America: The First Avenger.
