Captain America: The First Avenger
It is 1941 and the world is in the throes of war. Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) wants to do his part and join America's armed forces, but the military rejects him because of his small stature. Finally, Steve gets his chance when he is accepted into an experimental program that turns him into a supersoldier called Capt. America. Joining forces with Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) and Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell), Capt. America leads the fight against the Nazi-backed HYDRA organization.

When I saw this movie in theatres, I wasn't particularly impressed. A second viewing on Netflix led me to a more positive outlook on the movie. It's refreshing to have a hero that is, really, a hero. A selfless, good, hard-fighting, straight-up good guy.
The movie does have quite a bit of violence, but I did not notice profanity or sexual content. A fun watch and a well produced show. -
Very well written,original,great fun, great casting and acting. Marvel does it again!
Chris Evans becomes the character he plays as Steve Rogers/Captain America incredibly well. Tommy Lee Jones is as great as ever with his hilarious sarcasm along with acting serious. Awesome storyline with a great mix of history and comic book mixture. Gets better and better as the movie goes and ends with a great ending. Much more a superhero than a vigilate. Will get you even more excited for the upcoming Avengers film next year.July 23rd, 2011 Details -
Fun super hero stuff with a personality.

All things considered, this was a pretty good movie. They could have destroyed this. I think marvel is really figuring out the formula fro good super hero movies. This diserves its PG-13 rating for violence. Other than this, really good film.

It is nice to see a superhero film where the hero is such an upstanding, genuinely good person. Unfortunately, Captain America's goodness is also his only character trait. Chris Evans has great comedic timing as an actor, but he does not get to use that in this film. It feels more like a WWII movie than a superhero movie, which is a good thing. The character development here and plot are better than most superhero movies, though it does feel quite a bit longer than all the other pre-avengers films. It is not quite as fun as Iron Man or Thor, but it is much better than The Incredible Hulk or Iron Man 2.
It deserves the PG-13 rating for violence, but is not more violent than Iron man or Hulk.March 17th, 2012 Details -
Fun super hero movie. They didn't ruin the character of Captain America like I was afraid they would. I'm hoping that after they make this Avenger movie that they send Capt America back in time and give us more movies that take place in his original time period.

I liked this movie, even though I'm not the biggest fan of the comic book genre. There isn't much objectionable for families, as long as the kids are old enough to handle the violence. I would not take pre-teens for that reason.

Very well done with a great story line and good set up for the Avengers. Many said they were unhappy with the ending, but I liked it a lot. It's a very patriotic movie with a twist on World War II. Obviously there is violence but otherwise a clean movie.

Best Super Hero movie of the year by far. Marvel Studios did their homework on this one.

This was a very fun summer movie. The action was good and the plot was interesting. Be sure to stay through the credits to get a preview of next year's "Avengers" movie!

Violence and gore.

Great movie! One of the best of the summer. Can't wait for the Avengers in 2012! Go Captain America!

This was not one of the better comic book films of the year (especially compared to Thor) but it was worth my time, especially as a fun escape. Ok for the bigger kids, but leave the little ones at home. The Red Scull is pretty scary.

Great movie for all.

Great film! You'll understand more about the Avengers if you've seen this. It's fun and action packed. There are some parts that are clearly unrealistic but fun nonetheless.

I enjoyed watching a superhero movie about a superhero who was a genuine good guy. A lot of fighting and violence, and I felt it was a little long at times, but overall it is a quality movie.

What American can dislike a movie about Captain America? I wouldn't say its the greatest movie ever, but worth seeing at least once. A good, wholesome action film.

My 6 year old daughter loved this movie. I say enh, its worth a watch if you have nothing better to watch, and you have a really good sound system. Its not that the movie wasn’t good, it actually was given that they had to work with what is probably the lamest comic book character ever.

It is not my favorite marvel movie but it is entertaining.

Perhaps because I was expecting less quality and more violence, I really enjoyed this film. Let our 8-year-old join in, as part of a march toward Avengers.

Awesome movie. Effects are great, story line who cares it has Chris Evans who needs a story line. The action was outstanding highly recommended.

Movie has a good underlying message of good over evil and the benefit of being good. Lots of cheesy action shots and a good amount of violence.
