30 Second Movie Review:Captain America-The First Avenger

Thor left me cold.I really liked the stuff on Asgard but felt the Earth component of the story was lacking.I was nervous that Cap would not be all I hoped for and I found myself relieved when it was.

Chris Evans plays Steve Rogers with a noble quietness,a man who wants to help his country but is deemed to physically weak to do so.The supporting cast is good all around,with Tommy Lee Jones playing Tommy Lee Jones as Cap's tough commanding officer and Hugo Weaving laying on the slime to play The Red Skull,Cap's archenemy and Nazi Occultist out to rule the world.As the film plays out during WW2,we also get to meet early Marvel mainstays like Arnim Zola,Bucky and in a blink and miss it cameo,the original Human Torch.

This movie has heart and character,and also brings some really good action to the mix,and the end literally sets up next year's big screen adaptation of "The Avengers".4 stars.
