Continuing my recent trend of superhero movie reviews, the next up is Captain America. "Cap," originally a runt from Brooklyn, participates in an Army experiment to create a super-soldier. The experiment succeeds, and the scientist involved is killed, making Cap the lone product. He gets down to business, fighting in WWII against Hydra, a Nazi research organization led by the evil Red Skull, who has world domination plans of his own (quite separate from Hitler's).
This movie is okay. Parts of the plot were underdeveloped, cheesy, or overly implausible (even for a superhero movie). Part of the problem is the nature of this hero: he's a strong guy with a shield- not much else to it. The greatest value I got from the movie was the back-story it provided to Captain America's character in The Avengers.
Rating: C+
