This
summer
has
seen
the
release
of
many
Marvel
superhero
flicks
and
director
Joe
Johnston's
movie
Captain
America:
The
First
Avenger
is
the
latest
addition
to
this
list.
This
superhero
movie
manages
to
satisfy
both
as
origin
story
and
standalone
adventure.
This
one
feels
a
little
bit
special.
Captain
America:
The
First
Avenger
is
a
sci-fi
action
movie,
which
is
a
mixture
of
World
War
II
nostalgia,
Bam-Pow
comic
book
sensibilities,
underdog
determination
and
red-white-and-blue
battle
scenes.
A
cohesive
story
and
a
believable
superhero
manage
to
inspire
all
and
it
is
the
best
Marvel
superhero
flick
since
the
first
Iron
Man.
Steve
Rogers
(Chris
Evans)
in
the
midst
of
failing
multiple
physicals
to
join
the
US
Army.
He
is
chosen
by
Dr.
Erskine
(Stanley
Tucci)
to
participate
in
the
Super
Soldier
program.
He
is
injected
with
the
super
soldier
serum
and
is
transformed
from
a
5"
3"
bony
kid
into
a
hulking
Captain
America.
The
Nazi"s
have
a
science
division
called
HYDRA
that
is
being
lead
by
the
evil
Red
Skull
(Hugo
Weaving).
Captain
America
and
his
team
head
out
to
defeat
them
before
Red
Skull
can
use
his
secret
weapon
to
take
over
the
world.
What
makes
Captain
America:
The
First
Avenger
interesting
is
that
it
is
simultaneously
a
war
movie
and
a
superhero
movie,
which
executes
all
the
trappings
of
both
very
well.
As
superhero,
Chris
Evans
has
proved
that
he
is
the
right
choice
to
play
the
Star
Spangled
hero.
His
chemistry
with
the
supporting
cast
is
superb.
With
his
brilliant
performance,
he
makes
Captain
America
feel
like
a
real
person
and
not
just
a
guy
in
a
costume.
In
technical
front,
Alan
Silvestri's
music,
Shelly
Johnson's
cinematography
and
Robert
Dalva
and
Jeffrey
Ford's
editing
works
are
simply
superb.
The
action-packed
sequences
and
its
superb
special
effects
feature
an
old-fashioned
feel
that
grants
the
story
a
strange
sense
of
historical
importance.
Overall,
Captain
America:
The
First
Avenger
is
the
best
superhero
movie
of
this
summer.
Don't
miss
it
to
watch
it.
