The cinema adaptation of
the adventures of Captain America, one of the very early Marvel heroes, is great!
'Captain America: First Avenger' is about how Steve Rogers, frail and timid, becomes
a volunteer in an experimental program that transforms him into
a super soldier.
Though the story is fairly predictable,
this is a film full of action, a fun mix of genres, and good
actors. We recommend it to all fans of super heroes.
The strip cartoon Captain America was important in the US propaganda campaign against the Nazis (he first appeared in 1941). This film shows how Steve Rogers is used by the propaganda machine; the movie thus becomes a critique of American jingoism (then and now). Paradoxically, the film then becomes itself a kind of propaganda movie because Steve as Captain America does, despite the silly costume, become a real hero, symbolizing American individualism, courage and flair.

I saw "Captain America"last summer and it was a great surprise since this movie hadn't great marks in the critics. It is a good action film with suspense and fun.
