Captain America: The First Avenger Reviews

The result is fun and refreshingly retro.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4

A whizz-bang, retro-futuristic adventure that mercifully eschews the brooding Dark Knight trend to offer an exhilarating thrill ride that perfectly captures the enduring optimism of the 1940s.

Captain America: The First Avenger is definitely the best superhero film of the year and it's one hell of a fun ride. This is a must see!

Full Review | Original Score: 9/10

The real marvel of it all is how much fun it actually is.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4

Even next to Thor, a movie about a space god with a magic hammer, Captain America: The First Avenger was always going to be one of Marvel's trickiest properties to do justice to.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

"With arguably the best supporting cast of the bunch, a cut-and-dried hero's hero who isn't portrayed as some cornball cheesy and a direct lead in to 'The Avengers,' this is my favorite of the Avengers set ups."

As good a film version as can be made in this day and age by unapologetically embracing the square do-gooder nature of the character and concept.

A slam-bang good time, Captain America: The First Avenger is one of Marvel's better efforts.

Full Review | Original Score: 8/10

What the film can never overcome, though it mightily tries via superior score, costumes, and atmosphere, is the inanity of its premise.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4

One of the banner comic book films of the year.

As the delightfully over-the-top Red Skull, Hugo Weaving has the most fun playing a noseless villain since Ralph Fiennes lopped his off as Voldemort.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

Proves to be a riveting roller coaster ride from beginning to end, basically because it relies on a winning recipe featuring all the fixins needed to hold your undivided attention.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/4

Combines the right elements of brisk storytelling and light touches of comedy without resorting to gimmicks or bombast.

Director Joe Johnston confidently walks the line between faithful comic-book iconography and contemporary action-movie splash.

Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) wants to go to war. It's 1942, and he's a scrawny kid from Brooklyn, too scrawny, according to army doctors, to join up.

It serves its chief end to introduce the character, and Evans fills the role nicely. But as a stand-alone adventure, it's not captivating enough. I expect more from this genre.

"Looks great and hits all the right notes but never truly puts the pedal to the metal."

En una época en que aparecen películas de superhéroes debajo de cada piedra, encontrarse con algo tan entretenido - y que no pide ser tomado demasiado en serio - es toda una sorpresa.
