Recalling the serials that populated the time period it encapsulates, Joe Johnston’s Captain America: The First Avenger, the last in a long summer of superhero films, deals in absolute good and absolute evil in a world in which a first kiss is just as important as preventing a maniacal villain from blowing up the world.
Even after moving on from his roots as a visual effects artist for George Lucas and Steven Spielberg in the 1980s, Johnston has suffered a career full of what mostly feels like Spielberg-ian retreads (The Rocketeer, Jurassic Park III, Hidalgo). Here he shines, utilizing the never-ending resources provided by Marvel Studios to create something truly memorable.

UGO had this to say:
Grade: A

We're heading to Dallas Saturday morning, so I bought some tickets for the 11:20am showing at Studio Movie Grill to get some lunch at the same time. My kids should dig that since there aren't any theaters like that in the greater Tulsa area and the only one in OKC you have to be 21 to eat at.
YOU WILL LIKE THIS IF... You love superheroes, war movies, period pieces and/or a good time.
YOU WON'T LIKE THIS IF... You’re a Nazi, a member of Hydra or you just plain hate America.

^So the majority of the rest of the world is not going to like this?

A friend of mine who's seen the film says it's pretty good, but far from spectacular. I'm sort of getting this vibe from a lot of the buzz I've heard that doesn't originate from the fanboy community. I remain cautiously optimistic.

I don't think that means the Captain America serial specifically, just serials of that time.

Yeah... they hated Green Lantern and that wasn't nearly as bad as they made it out to be. I never thought that either trailer made this look like a "can't miss" movie, but as a huge comic book guy, I was going to see it regardless. Guess we'll see...

It's now up to 60%. It'll be interesting to see what the final consensus is.

Green Lantern had a 26% which was about right, I'd say maybe 1 in 4 people liked it. I was definitely in the other 74%.

I'm worried about most of the critics saying it's just one long trailer for The Avengers. I hope it's not that obvious.

I hope this is good. I don't think it looks like anything fantastic but it seems like it should be a fun time. I'm gonna try and go see it tonight. I've enjoyed the other offerings from Marvel so far this year, but I thought Green Lantern was an absolute disaster. The trailer for this gave me a better vibe than I got from Green Lantern though.
