i agree that they should show more of the villain, but i also disagree with myself because this is a Captain America movie, they did the right thing by focusing more on the hero, i feel more attached to the character after watching the movie. so this movie doesn't focus much on the villain but much more on the hero, which is what it should be. i am more of a villain guy, so i may be biased on this one, but i'm sure many comic book fans wants to see more of this Red Skull.
Captain america the first avenger movie stream skin#
they did focus on him to a certain degree, but after he peeled off his skin literally turned into the Red Skull, they stop focusing on him that much. the reason why i gave it a 9 instead of a 10 is because that they didn't focus much on the villain Red Skull, and he died at the end too. and Stan Lee's cameo is in this montage too. then the second part of the film kicked right into the action, connected by a montage of a cheesy Captain America touring as a celebrity, poking fun at the character. it takes its time to show the origin of Captain America and also the rise of the villian(Red Skull). and when bucky(steve's best friend) die too. they only shared one kiss! it is pretty heartbreaking to watch them part at the end when Captain America 'died'. I say that is because the romance between Steve and Peggy is pretty much of a tragedy. i think the romance will expand to Sharon in the Avengers now that he is in Present Day. they also have this romance between our hero and a female officer(Peggy) which apparently is the aunt of Sharon Carter from the comics. they had the original design for the shield first, before the circular one, which is pretty cool.
they follow pretty well with the comic book, i guess. After the credits, they showed a stinger, which all of the Marvel Cinematic Universe films have if you haven realize by now, and after that, THEY SHOWED A TEASER TRAILER FOR THE AVENGER! its like Back to the Future 3 again for me, a trailer after a movie. at the start of the film, they show the modern day and Captain America is discovered, being frozen for 70years(like in the comics) and at the end of the movie, it continues with the modern day story and he is being recruited by S.H.I.E.D.S. he reminds me of tony stark, but not as much of a womanizer as him. like Howard Stark, the father of Tony Stark(Iron Man) is working with the military and is the super-awesome-weapon-and-technology-developer of this movie. Captain America is also part of this Marvel Cinematic Universe thing where many films are linked together and is just giving the back story so that people will have the context to understand the Avengers movie. he is very courageous and is willing to sacrifice himself to save others. all he ever wanted to do is to serve his country despite his size, which is the reason why he wasn't accepted as a solider. Steve Rogers (Captain America) is an interesting character. the character had comic books and films based on him, which is like real life, making an interesting connection. it's like they know that Captain America is cheesy, so they just play along with it, giving reasons to why it is so cheesy.
They also did this thing where they poke fun of the cheesy Captain America. you can hardly tell that it is CGI and most of the time, i thought that they just hired a Chris Evans look-alike to play him. they did a GREAT job on the CGI effect of 'small' Chris Evans. It starts of with the smaller version of Steve Rogers. Before i watched it, i thought it was just going to be some war movie that is super boring, but it surprises me how interesting this is. I don't know anything about Captain America going in, never watched the trailer or the comic books, but i gotta say, this movie makes me very interested in Captain America and is now considering to buy the comic books as i'm writing this.
