Captain America!

You know...there was one thing that both made me laugh, then annoyed me. The Hydra salute! Red Skull, come on Brotha!!! Your freaking bad A...why such a lame salute for your Bro's?!

I would have went with the classic Star Trek Mirror universe salute. But that's just how I roll.
 
All the Hydra stuff seemed oddly out of place. The design of the uniforms and equipment were far too contemporary for the time period. I understand its supposed to be advanced technology and all, but remember the design for the transformation chamber they put Cap in? That had a very authentic, vintage look yet was still believable as an advanced piece of equipment appropriate for the time period. I would like to have seen more of that for the Hydra designs
 
Let me guess. You're the leading male comic book hero #344, right?

Steve Rogers: Just give me a chance-

Cut the crap Steve. Tell us a story about your father. You know? The one who you either never got to know him, never got to resolve the bad tensions between the two of you, or how you're constantly living under his shadow. You can't be the hero of this movie unless you have daddy issues. Green Lantern decided to throw in those issues out of thin air, and now look at how awesome he's doing!..... You're not going to tell us any stories about your father, are you?.....

OH! I know! You're a jerk! A big time jerk! You're arrogant, disrespectful, womanizing, and you don't give a crap about any of your friends! You're a complete a**hole who thinks only of himself! Admit it Steve, you loath every thing that isn't you!...... you mean you don't? This is getting awkward. You don't have daddy issues, you're a pretty decent fellow, and to top it off, you're an interesting character!

*PASS*

Now, Peggy. What's your role in this movie? Are you the obligatory love interest? Do they introduce you as a tough action girl, throw in awkward romance moments between you and Steve and totally make you "the chick" by having you weep in tears at the end even when your commanding officer is present?

Peggy: Yes.

Ok. .. . . . We're not quite there yet.. and at this rate we probably never will be.. . . .but with all due respect Miss Carter, outside of being the love interest, what exactly do you do? What does your character do that Howard Stark, Colonel Phillips, and doctor Erskine can't do for Steve if you weren't around in the first place?

Peggy: Nothing.

I'm certain what you actually meant was "The best superhero movie of all time". If you honestly believe this is the greatest movie in history, you need to watch a LOT more movies. Though I thought it was pretty good, I certainly wouldn't put it up on my top 50 movies of all time.

:) No I really mean what I say. I fell in love with the movie. It was perfectly executed. I found no faults with it. And to me it is the best movie ever made.
(This is how I feel, but seeing how I live and breath Captain America on a daily basis) I have watched a lot of movies. I choose Captain America as my #1 not only as a superhero movie, but just as a movie. Watching this movie was the highlight of my movie watching life. I imagine it was like when a lot of you watched star wars or harry potter both film franchises that while aren't bad films in my opinion they are no where near coming close to being on my list.

Captain America (to me is the best film ever made) for two hours I was gone and I was taken on a journey where I truly left reality and Captain America was alive and breathing.

In short best movie ever made (to me) in my humble opinion.

I have finally rediscovered my childhood enthusiasm for movies thanks only to Captain America.
 
I saw it today and really enjoyed it. I was standing outside in the lobby afterwards waiting on my friend to finish in the bathroom and was wearing my SSR shirt, and noticed people looking at me with a "Hey, that looks familiar" look as they came out of the theater. :lol
 
Is the Avengers trailer definitely after the credits because where I watched it, they stopped the film about half way through the credits, because everyone else had left.
 
I think the Hydra salute was meant to one-up the Nazi salute. It kinda makes sense, in a way: the Nazi salute with one hand held high vs. Hydra both hands up high in fists - means more power and the Skull's quest for more power and total domination.

Speaking of which, I do wish they would've played up Skull's quest for total domination... even over Nazi Germany. The first time I saw Cap, it clicked - he's after every where, the second time I saw it - it just seemed a little too underplayed. Would've been nice to have the US Command make some comments that 'Hydra is even after the Nazi's now.'

The Hydra vehicles/weapons. Yeah, maybe it was a little too cliche - but, it is a comic book movie and I think they needed a way to show that Hydra isn't using your typical weapons. Perhaps Stark needed to show a little more awe when examining the weapons.

I liked the movie... but, I found it far from perfect. Just below Thor and IM1 as far as Marvel movies go... and Cap is one of my fave Comic Book characters.

Yes, I saw it twice (once in 3D). Well worth watching... but the cuts are so quick it's hard to make much out.

Thanks for that. Well thats good enough reason to go back and watch it again then, I'll complain when I get there and make sure they show the whole film rather than stopping it because people are leaving. :thumbsup

I can upload screen shots from the trailer if you don't get to see it.

or PM them to you which is preferable.
 
Absolutely loved it! To me it not only embodied the spirit of that time but the spirit of the original comics as well.

1 thing that didn't make sense to me though

Wouldn't you think that SHIELD would be smart enough to not play a broadcast of a baseball game that happened before Steve turned into Cap?

Really? If anything I thought those elements felt crammed in. Every time I heard a mention of Hydra wanting to overtake everyone, including the Nazis; it was like I could hear the movie scream "We want this film to perform well in European Markets!".
