Review:
Besides the Batman franchise, Captain America is probably my favorite superhero film due to the historical setting and the noble aspirations of the hero, against all odds (including his skeleton-like frame before his bodily transformation). The storyline--and yes, even the characters--is a bit cliche, but the World War II themes add a new dimension that keeps the movie interesting. Also refreshing was the patriotic message of the film, a theme that seems rather unpopular in Hollywood today. Although the ending is a bit abrupt, I enjoyed Captain America for the action flick that it is, and would highly recommend it as a fun movie night pick.
For Parents:
Sci-fi violence and action sequences
