At this point in time I have seen all of the MCU movies to date and I can easily say that Captain America is my favourite Marvel Hero. I think he is my favourite for two reasons one being that he is one of the most fun to watch during action scenes but also the fact that he is a very well grounded character. Caps entire goal is to do more and help in anyway he can which to me makes him the ideal superhero.
Red Skull in this wasn't all that interesting to me. He just seems like your regular old run of the mill villain. Hugo Weaving did do a great job as the Red Skull but the character himself wasn't all that good.
Hayley Atwell is great and has a very good relationship with Chris Evans as Captain America. She is a huge part of why the movie ending was emotional. Bucky played by Sebastian Stan is great and also has a very nice on screen dynamic with Chris Evans.
During the middle act of this movie we got a lot of montages and then we had one action scene. I really enjoy the action scenes in this but I do feel that having montages and one action scene be your middle act is very weak storytelling.
Overall Captain America The First Avenger is a good movie. It gives some fun scenes with great characters, but the structure of the movie and the villain needed to be thought out a little more for the movie to be considered great.
7.5/10.
