I needed a break and wanna watch something good. I really wanna watch Planet of the Apes but that’s not out yet. I was faced with Captain America and Harry Potter. The choice is obvious.
I was abit apprehensive with this movie because I thought its gonna be two hours of non-stop American Nationalistic propaganda but it wasn’t that bad.. unlike the movie 300. I don’t know if they reference the story of Captain America in the comic books. But I thought CA was injected with a super soldier serum and his wife and kids got murdered. Wait. I think that was the Punisher. I am getting my superhero stories mixed up.
The story is basically like this: Captain America is skinny like a twig. He is very patriotic and wanna defend his country. He enlists himself in NS. NS rejected his application. A scientist makes CA his personal lab rat. He turned to be this super soldier with no side effects. Meanwhile, a bunch of crazy Nazis, headed by a deranged guy with a skull head are planning to attack the world. I like the make-up effects though on Red Skull… Very nicely done and bad a$$.
The story is easy to understand but to me, it was just so-so. You feel pity for CA for awhile for what he have to go through but I am not really impressed with his super hero abilities. I think watching Batman fight crime is more fun.
Anyway, this movie is still okay to watch if you are bored out of your mind. So that means…

+++++ Spoiler Alert +++++
If some of you are confused on why CA did not age when he woke up all fresh in the present day…. that’s because he was frozen in ice… I was blur for awhile until I remembered the first starting scene… They found a huge black plane with CA’s shield frozen like a popsicle.
And can somebody tell me about what happened to Red Skull?! He just got teleported to another galaxy to visit Thor or what?
