Torrin-McFinn77 I remember having a comic book on Captain America that I got from my doctor a long time ago (and I still have it too), though I wasn't big on superheroes back then. But after Sam Raimi's 2002 Spider-Man film, I was hooked. And considering Captain America is part of the Avengers, it really got me interested in all the characters. It was my duty to discover the origins of the members of the Avengers. Set during the World War II era, we get the origins of a young man who is not soldier material but gets certain enhancements due to a super soldier serum. And he gets his wish and becomes the poster boy for the war effort on the Allied side. As a movie, it has lots of familiar faces, including Tommy Lee Jones (from Men in Black), Hugo Weaving (of Lord of the Rings and The Matrix), and Richard Armitage (of the Hobbit films). Plus there are lots of science-fiction elements in this movie that fit in nicely with the period. I wasn't bored in the slightest. Plus, I like World War II era period pieces. This movie is part of the puzzle that makes up 2012's Avengers film. See it just to see how Captain America fits into the story. It's really good.

cricketbat Captain America: The First Avenger is, essentially, a 2-hour setup movie. It has some good performances and fun action, but it almost seems like they are rushing through this movie so they can get to The Avengers movie. Also, I like Cap, but it does seem odd to root for a superhero who is pretty much a poster boy for the advantages of steroid use.

andrewkempf I decided to watch the MCU movies in chronological order from time periods, so I started with Captain America. It kept me entertained, and I really liked the start, but it definitely stagnated a little at times in the middle of the movie. I feel like Marvel can definitely do much better than this, but it was a good introduction to Captain America, who I will be seeing lots of in the future in these other MCU films.

shubhamsrivastavalu True courage lies in the heart and not in the hands is the basic idea portrayed by the movie. This is an interesting fantasy that takes us back in history and presents the creation of strong superhero out of an experiment. Also the shield, its built up is an add-on. Wonderful stuff for watching and enjoying. But at the same time screenplay and acting are worth noting.
