1 Line Review: A much better thriller than Man of Steel.
I compared Captain America with Superman because that’s the last super hero movie I remember which I felt was a little dragged and bored me in the end. Captain America also has the usual villein and hero chemistry but there are good suspense elements and the characters were nicely casted. As the jokes are making the rounds on twitter, this movie is only warming you up for The Avengers! Am not complaining.
Goes without saying that I love Scarlett Johansson (we all do), heard her in her last movie HER (it has only her voice, ya sad) hence was more excited to see her do the fight sequences with such flawlessness. More like Katrina Kaif in Ek Tha Tiger. But that’s a different love story all together! 🙂 [pardon my comparison, I love both of them].
You will also get to see ‘Robin’ from ‘How I Met Your Mother’. Yes, Cobie Smulders is in the movie with a short role. HIMYM ended recently, after 10/11 long years and it was a major fail (ideally it should have ended 5 years back!). You would also spot ‘Emily’ from the ‘Revenge’ fame. I was big fan of Revenge until the first 2 season but then lost interest at it just got dragged too much. I liked Emily’s performance hence was excited to see her in a neat and sassy role.
Chris Evans needs no introduction. He has been a part of many super hero movies and has been flushing out great performances one after the other. With that body and handsomeness I can only imagine girls of all ages drooling over him! 🙂
The movie is fun, thrilling, full of surprises and humorous. And ya, its in 3D. I have said this for all 3D movies released in India and I will say it again, we have still not come of age to give a perfect 3D viewing comfort. Yes, the glasses are not great, viewing gets dull and most of times I get a slight headache, just a little. But then am speaking only about myself.
Captain America gets your pulse racing from the very first action sequence and it never stops. With 2 hours and 15 minutes to spend on a single super hero, the plot needs to be engaging, I thought it was. I give it a thumps up and suggest you go watch it in a movie hall now. Find a place which is running it in 2D instead, if you are in India. I would have preferred it. Nevertheless, go watch it.
There is an additional scene after the first set of credits and another in the end. Don’t leave just yet.
