Eric Stevenson Well, I agree that this is slightly better than the first, not that that really says much. There's even an exact improvement over the score as this has a 3.9 and the first one had 3.8! Well, this is still a very bad movie. I was hoping that we'd at least get to see more of Captain American in uniform but instead we "still" don't see him in the costume for the majority of the film. Most of this movie once again doesn't feel like a "Captain America" movie at all! I'm so disappointed they still don't have the Red Skull. I honestly think Captain America's the only character from the source material that's in this! We actually do get an improvement in one area. The villain is played by Christopher Lee, who honestly isn't bad. Of course, he was in literally hundreds of movies so there weren't that many roles he turned down. At least there's a cute cat in this. The film is once again paced badly and the entire story could have been told as like an episode of a TV show. That isn't what I want to see in a movie, not even a TV movie. The special effects haven't gotten any better and it's all pointless. While an improvement, still crap. *1/2

Andy Edwin Nystrom Not as funny as the 1966 cartoon, this TV movie still has its moments.SPOILERS: Miguel is said to be a master of disguise, but as far as can be told this is only so that Christopher Lee, who is decidedly not hispanic, could play someone called Miguel. The scientists test Miguel's aging serum on a cat, but can't seem to find a test subject for the antidote (the cat, perhaps?). Plus great 1970s TV sound effects. And the opening scene with the purse snatcher is pure cornball.A downside for both people trying to take it serious and those who are not is that Steve Rogers doesn't appear enough as Cap. On the other hand it must be conceded that the TV movie does have a very catchy theme tune.For people looking for the unintentional laughs, this one is best viewed with another person. For people wanting a solid Cap tale that's true to the source material and can be taken seriously...stick with the comics; the definitive TV or movie Cap adventure has yet to be told.

grendelkhan Oh, boy; Captain America vs. Dracula! Sort of. Yes, America's Super Soldier returns, and this time, he has a decent villain. This is by far the best of the two TV movies; and, in my opinion, the best of all of the Cap cinematic efforts (including the serial and "theatrical" film). Christopher Lee rescues this film from complete boredom and makes it entertaining.This time around, Cap has the right costume (or as close as they could get); unfortunately, it demonstrates how bad spandex costumes look on screen, even on well-built actors. The helmet was a bit much (you would think he would take it off when not riding his bike, but, nooooo!). The abilities are still more Bionic than Super Soldier Formula, but OK.Connie Sellecca joins the cast, preparing her for her role in the future Greatest American Hero; and Len Birman is back to provide exposition and counteract insomnia.We get some decent stunts this time, especially the motorcycle jump off of the dam. The story makes a bit more sense, as far as these things go.My biggest gripe is the shield effect. When thrown, it rotates slowly and wobbles. They could have at least sped up the film to make it look like good! As it is, it appears that all you have to do is take a step to the side and wait for it to pass you by, ten minutes later.Still, all in all, this was pretty entertaining. Don't expect X-Men or Batman, but it's good on a rainy day.(Edit-This was written before Captain America: The First Avenger, and CA: The Winter Soldier, so Death Too Soon now ranks as third best. Until the next good Cap film. You get the picture.)

Thalcos A fun television movie. Captain America must uncover a plot by the malevolent terrorist Miguel, who plans to rapidly age the entire city of Portland, OR. Although the Captain's costume needs a bit of help (the helmet is pretty goofy), and the romantic lead is annoying, there's some good super feats and super gadgets evenly distributed throughout the movie. Get some friends who don't mind some comic book camp, and you'll enjoy it.
