FANDANGO BLURB:

After being deemed unfit for military service, Steve Rogers volunteers for a top secret research project that turns him into Captain America, a superhero dedicated to defending America’s ideals.

MY REVIEW

Okay, I’m biased and invested. I’ve seen all of the Avengers movies and I have enjoyed them. No…they weren’t basa** (shut your mouth!) flicks that make me want to watch them over and over again. But, they are entertaining and kept my interest throughout. Not to mention — who doesn’t dig a hero (even though the villain stole the show in Thor…that a whole other story).

Sorry, I digressed. Here’s my review:

I like this. Steve Rogers is my type of character. A boy bullied, beat up, kicked out, put upon and everything you can think of. But you know what – he never gave up. This movie covers the story of Captain America (the past him) back in the 40′s and the villain is a bit quirky. Also, I would have really liked a bit more depth to the story, but it was still a good one. As far as it lining up to the comic book depiction it did so for the most part. There were little off points. Like Captain America was a king with Hand-To-Hand combat. But in the movie it was all about the shield. I give this movie 3.5 stars with stripes. And just so you know, I FREAKIN’ totally enjoyed the tease trailer for THE AVENGERS!
