Film Freak 2011 - Captain America (not the 3D version)

After seeing a heap of action and comic book movies already in the last bit Captain America was a little bit familar and a little bit overdone and not to mention long. However Chris Evans had a way of keeping your interest and as did Hugo Weaving.

I really also liked the supporting cast Tommy Lee Jones (god he is looking clapped out though), Hayley Atwell & Neal McDonough.

The action scenes are amazing however the long times between action and long drawn out conversations can be a bit much.

A sequel is already in the works and the main thing I think they need to work on is running times, action movies really do only have a screen life of around 90 minutes, maybe 100 but over 2 hours is a bit extreme, mainly as we all know there are now 20 minutes or more of previews, ad's, promos etc.

Overall it sounds like a negative review but Captain America is good, just not great and when there are so many action films and so many superhero films it takes a lot to stand out and say look at me!

Captain America, it's not a bad film, just not a great film, 3 stars.
