A good movie

I already saw this movie but since I just brought a brand new awesome TV, I thought I might as well rewatch it. Back then, the first time around, like everyone else, I was prepping for 'The Avengers' so I definitely had to watch this flick. I have to admit that I was at first positively surprised by the damned thing. Indeed, I really enjoyed the tone of the first part and it was pretty neat to see a super-hero flick taking place in the 40's for once. Furthemore, the whole thing looked really good and I was rather impressed by how they managed to make Chris Evans look really small and it did look really convincing. Furthermore, they took their time to establish Steve Rogers's  personality and it worked rather well, thanks to a solid performance by Chris Evans. So, I did enjoy the first half but, unfortunately, I wasn't really convinced by the rest of the movie. Eventually, the biggest issue was mainly with the plot which was basically some rather disposable succession of generic action scenes. At least, I have to admit that Red Skull was a pretty cool villain and the Nazis have always been the most dependable bad guys. However, just like with ‘Thor’, rewatching this movie 10 years later with the knowledge of all what would happen to this character, I have to admit that it was much more rewarding than I expected. That’s the funny thing, the most recent MCU efforts might have been much bigger but they also have become seriously formulaic while all these Phase one movies, with the notable exception of ‘Iron Man 2’, feel so much fresher and satisfying. Anyway, to conclude, even though it was maybe not a complete home-run, it was still a seriously entertaining super-hero flick and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
