"I'm not kissing you!"

A young man, Steve Rogers (Chris Evans), wants to join the military. Unfortunately, this is during World War II, and he is deemed to be 4F. He does not want to kill Nazis just thwart bullies. He gets his chance through the efforts of Dr. Abraham Erskine (Stanley Tucci), who fattens him up a bit through injections and extreme infusions of blue light energy. Now comes the question of how will he use his newfound abilities, for good, for evil, or frivolity? Most of us already know the story of “Capt. America.” Many watched programs or read comics. So, we already have a preconception of how this should come about and what he should be doing as a superhero. However, I suggest you set those preconceptions aside and watch the movie for what it is. You will find that it is entertaining and fast-paced, yet slows down occasionally so that Steve Rogers can look into Peggy Carter’s (Hayley Atwell) eyes and wonder what it would be like if the world were different. Being a little bit on the cynical side, you would almost think that this movie is an outlet for out-of-work actors. We see many of our favorites and a few that may become favorites. Tommy Lee Jones looks a little bit like he might have melted in his old age, but we still remember him from that fantastic movie "Volcano." Every time I see the bad guy, okay, the Crimson Skull (Hugo Weaving), I think of "Lord of the Rings." But it is too bad that Stanley Tucci did not get a longer part, as he is a very flexible actor. You should see Stanley in the movie “Undercover Blues.” I only saw the Blu-ray version, so I cannot comment on any peculiarities of the other versions. And watching the credits, they explained that this is just the first movie of a series of movies.

The special effects are superb!

Amazing how they make Capt America a puny wimp before he is a superhero! I couldn't believe how they did that!! This is a really good patriotic movie & it is very well done. I loved it.
