Captain America: The First Avenger (2011)

By | 2011-08-02

I enjoyed this remake more than I expected.  It was entertaining, the CGI effects of making Chris Evans a skinny short little guy were excellent and totally believable, and it has Chris Evans – who is simply hot!

The only thing I didn’t really care for was that it’s in 3D.  For me the 3D fad is over.  All it does it make motion blurry at this point.  The 3D novelty is long over for me, and I’d enjoy an action movie more if I could actually see the action, instead of the 3 dimensional stuttering blur effect.

As far as putting Chris Evans face on the skinny short 99 pound body, this effect was amazing.  Unlike the attempt at this sort of effect that was made in Tron2, where making Jeff Bridges a young man again did not work well, it constantly looked wrong and fake.  Not so in Captain America, these guys did it right.

8.5/10
