Oh, not ANOTHER reviewer who quite obviously has not seen the movie.
And I am sick to the back teeth of reviewers talking about how they got the little Steve Rogers by superimposing Chris Evans' head on a smaller actor's body!! No they didn't. You obviously not seen or read one single interview with Chris Evans who has explained over and over again.

First, no they did not impose his head over his body; they actually digitally shrank his physic. Second, you tried comparing the Cosmic Cube to Parallax; one's a McGuffin for sure but the other was the main force of nature antagonist. That's apples to oranges. Third, and most importantly, you talked more about the old serials than the film as a whole. If you're doing a review, do a review of the movie you were assigned, not the 1943 serial.

To think, I thought you were one of the best writers for this with your review of Harry Potter part 2 and The Dark Knight, but I guess you actually saw those before you reviewed them. That kinda helps.

You guys are right; it's as though he judged this film on the merits of the ones that came before it. Still, I'll take consolation that he gave it a "fresh" even though he's obviously suffering from comic-book movie fatigue. Well that's all of the "Top Critics" whose reviews I was looking out for.

What were they suppose to do, go way out in left field and write it so that there were aliens invading earth or something super natural? That's already been done too. Kinda hard not to tread on the same ground. But critics always say it could've been done better without thinking. See, critics use the same material over and over, too. How bout something fresh, original.

Guys, here is what the production notes say: To transform Evans to the 98-pound Steve Rogers, Townsend employed a collection of visual effects techniques, including body slimming and head replacement. Most important to any technique used was to preserve Evansâ?? performance. When using the head replacement technique, a slimmer body double would watch Chris Evans film the scene, then mimic Evansâ?? performance as closely as possible. Then head and body were married by Townsendâ??s final magic. Even at 5â??7â??, the double didnâ??t always appear slim enough, so software was employed to waste his body somewhat. â??Chris Evans has such a phenomenal physique, it seems almost a crime to do that to him,â?? says Executive Producer Louis Dâ??Esposito, â??But youâ??re going to be shocked to see the results and how the visual effect compliments his performance.â??

He also counted any movie with fantasy or sci fi elements of any type as a "comic book movie." Like, Transformers and Planet of the Apes. I'll buy Optimus as a type of superhero, but where's the superhero/comic book origin of Planet of the Apes? Why should this guy be bothered with there were a few books by this French guy that they made movies out of. Critics use the same material over and over? Uh - yeah - why does this lazy guy have a job?

There are many parts that seem "copy and pasted" from other movies including Sam Raimi's Spider-man and Star Wars Episode VI

Rocketeer is obviously better than this movie,

always the same formula, first half of the movie you discover how he become a super hero, and the second half is a filler with action scene with too much CG effects and bad guys having their asses kicked.

same pattern as spiderman1, Batman Begin, Hulk, IronMan, etc..
i don't know how people still get excited by that intertainment junk food, i guess that's why Micheal Bay is making so much money with the garbage he make.

Anyways...first half was still entertaining to me...after that it's like everything got edited for time sake...love interest who come from nowhere, and a confuse goal for the hero.

im not hating on the super-hero genre here, im just wishing they threath the subject in a non-conventional way for once.
Watchmen don't count, because the source material wasnt conventional to start with... but the movie resulting of it is.

I don't get it. Does the review mean comic book movies or World War II era movies? I can only think of very few World War II era Superhero movies. Rocketeer and Phantom come to mind. Seems far from countless.
