Captain America: The First Avenger
First off, this has some alternate history WW2.
Its a nice blend of WW2, sci-fi, the special zing that comic book heros bring, alternate history, and a little of the Nazi occult. (Ok, maybe a wee tad bit more than a little!)
Today I had the oppurtunity of seeing the movie in 3D with a lady friend and her friend (A lady friends friend? Is there a term for that?)
Reluctantly sitting down, this being my first 3D movie, I took into consideration falling asleep because I did not think it would be a good movie. I was proven wrong, pretty quickly. The opening starts off with a U.S. team in antartica sent to investigate a crashed object (No, there aren't aliens, I figured there were at first, but there are none whatsoever.) and quickly leads to how Captain America came to be, which ties in well with the story.
I would like to get into the story, but I do not want to ruin it for people making their minds on it.
Myself, I enjoyed the alternate history. I think I spotted something akin to a miniature ratte in the movie whilst watching too!
So lets get down to the TL;DR
Pros:
Nice story
Ending
Great background
I DID NOT SEE ANY SWASTIKAS!Cons:
the ending ending. The last line of the movie really leaves a sort of cliffhanger/disappointment at the same time. Myself, I wanted more.
4.7/5
Also, wait for the end of the credits!
