I watched this out of pure curiosity, after seeing Spoony's rant about it.Now, I'm not going to hold the age, the bad acting, the low budget or the ridiculous costume against the movie. Those are the least of the problems. What I do have a problem with, is that it's way too slow. Don't get me wrong, normally I don't mind slow paced movies, it all depends on the genre, really, but when it's supposed to be a superhero movie, that won't work. Too much talk, scenes about nothing, and very, VERY little action. Not to mention that it takes way over an hour before we finally see Captain America in full costume. Today it wouldn't be a problem, since superhero movies of today are about 2,5 hours long, but when it's only roughly 15 minutes left, you feel ripped off.It's not the worst movie I've seen in general, and as a crime/drama movie it's slightly entertaining, but as a superhero movie, it fails miserably.

If you only watch high quality cinema - Don't watch this movie! If you're a die-hard fan of the Captain America comics - You might want to avoid this.But, if enjoy top quality, funniest-at-its-worst b-movies, you're in for a treat! This really is one of the worst films ever made! I was finding myself being very careful trying to eat while I was watching, afraid that I might spit the food out when I was laughing so hard. The writing is atrocious, the acting is ridiculous, the special effects are amazingly corny.Throw in some low quality CHiP's era music and you're in for two hours of laugh-out-loud comedy!!!Enjoy-Fuzzy

For better or worse (depending on who you talk to)this was my generation's Captain American, just like Nicholas Hammond was Spiderman. It was a good popcorn TV show, action and adventure and a suped up motorcycle. Everything an 11 year old kid loves. I have since rewatched the series and it still has those elements of interest. No it will not compare to a feature film shot in 2007 but then special effects and the era itself was different. Yes Reb Brown is bland and not a very good actor but then Mark Hamill was rather unimpressive as Luke Skywalker but you still enjoyed it. I certainly hope these shows like Captain America and Spiderman make it to DVD. By the way, Sam Raimi would you please give a cameo to Nicholas Hammond in a future Spiderman movie, he was our generation's Spiderman as I hope Lynda Carter will be given a chance to appear in the upcoming Wonder Woman movie.

I will not hear a word spoken against this fine movie. It's great for watching when getting together with your sarcastic friends. You know the ones I mean. The kind that rent a schlock horror movie simply so they can make fun of it.The production values may lag, the acting may make you wince, and the origin of Captain America is shattered into a million zillion pieces.There is, however,one thing that makes it the greatest Captain America movie of all time: The Captain America movie from 1991! That one makes this one look like Citizen Kane. Plus, this one has a motorcycle!Yes folks, if terrorists ever force you to choose one Captain America to watch at gunpoint, make it this one.
