Captain America
Aug. 3rd, 2011 08:06 amI saw Captain America over the weekend, and it was pretty awesome! :D I was expecting to enjoy it, but not as much as I did. The supporting cast were excellent (Stanley Tucci and Tommy Lee Jones especially, loved them!) and Chris Evans really did a great job. He was Cap to me, he totally disappeared into the role, it was brilliant. (OMG, the fondue joke. I cried laughing, he's so sweet!) The soundtrack was cool too, I see you Alan Menken, sneaking a song in there! XD The biggest and happiest surprise of the film for me was Peggy's character. A badass female character who was not all anger and I HATE THE WORLD, kickass yet still feminine, held her own against all the male characters. To be honest, I never expected to see a character like that in a comic book film of all films. XD
The ending...
( Spoilers for end of film and after-credits scene. )
So yeah, awesome movie is awesome. However, if you like your heroes/protagonists a little darker or angsty, then this may not interest you. He's a 100% good guy, so much so that a lot of reviewers were calling the character bland. :( I liked that he was like that, we don't have too many of his sort in films these days. Or life, for that matter. XD
