Captain America:
First Avenger director Joe Johnston met the challenge of adapting the adventures of superheroes with the most patriotic touch to make a film uninhibited and having his own style.
It is difficult to describe the theme of this film, its both history film and a fantasy movie. Captain America is built perfectly in the dream universe set up by the fantasy movies like Iron Man, Hulk and Thor.
Taking place almost entirely during the Second World War, Captain America tells the dark period of history from a different angle. Imagine a secret division of the army of Hitler was in charge of looking for artifacts to turn them into legendary weapon and win the war.
This organization called Hydra will get their hands on a wealth of Odin (Thor’s father): the Cosmic Cube, which we have already seen in the post-credits scene of the movie Thor. The United States should respond, and the super-soldier serum will be the answer to the Nazis to take over in this war. This is how Steve Rogers, a young whippersnapper from Brooklyn, will be chosen for its qualities and thus become the super-soldier.
I was amazed by the performance of Chris Evans, early in the film he was digitally retouched to lose at least 20 pounds of muscle and 30 centimeters high,and later in the shoes of Captain America performing stunts impressive. His relationship with Peggy Carter is also handled quite well.
