Review of Captain America: The First Avenger

A great addition to the Marvel line up of superheroes. I will admit, I was very hesitant due to the publicity and hype built up. Chris Evans shrunk down was kind of off, but what else can you do? The voice did not match himself until after he transformed into Captain America. Otherwise, the movie was great. It flowed nicely, and the actors did a great job. Chris Evans was a perfect fit for the role. Maybe too overly nice, but otherwise great, especially for the type of humor needed. Hugo Weaving as Red Skull was definitely a perfect fit and I would not change a thing. Stanley Tucci's role was also very well done and felt good for the part it played. I liked the addition of the Stark family playing in the origins of Captain America, hopefully setting up for the much anticipated Avengers movie. Obviously people are going to pick at it. It is 2011 and the internet spreads word faster than a forest fire in the summer. In my opinion, I really enjoyed it, and will definitely be buying the DVD. Don't forget to stay after the credits, you will not be disappointed.
