Matt Parker and Trey Parker, the creators of South Park, did a puppet movie called Team America, and for some reason, that theme songs lyrics, fits right into this comic book character. Because what can be more american than Captain America? Lets see, Mr T is probably almost as american, and of course Flavor Flav. But now lets talk about this comic book character, wich became a sucessfull comic book character in 1941. After different versions made on tv and on the big screen, Marvel Studios wanted to update a new version, still with a feeling of nostalgia.
Tonsberg, Norway in the year 1942. Nazi officer Johann Schmidt ( Hugo Weaving ) finds a mysterious tesseract, wich contains powers no human should get involved with. But Johann wants to use this powerfull object to bring chaos all over the world. Dr. Abraham Erskine ( Stanley Tucci ) is involved with a secret millitary experiment, to create a special soldier, who can defeat the nazi army in Europe. He meets Steve Rogers ( Chris Evans ) , while Steve is trying to get into the millitary without any success. Dr Abraham sees that Steve, might be just the right man for this experiment. Steve agrees on becoming a part of this project. When the experiment is finished, Steve´s body has changed, his strength is amazing, as well as his speed. But some in the millitary are not sure this new super soldier called Captain America is ready for the war.....
While i disliked Green Lantern, this is deffinetely an improvment. Captain America feels like a trip back to the older days, when cinema heroes filled the cinema seats. The settings are nicely made back to the 40´s, with swing music, as well as old classic machine guns. And if you love nazi war movies, then dont worry, theres plenty of action in some scenes to please you. Not much bad to say really about Captain America, as a comic book movie it delivers entertainment. Just let that comic kid inside you come back to life again.
