Review of Captain America: The First Avenger (2011) by Jackalope93 — 14 Sep 2015

The film was absolute garbage. It didn't take long to realize that they weren't going to cough up any good dialogue, so I hoped that at least the combat would be okay --- It wasn't. The good guy just walks into a nazi base and punches lackey after lackey and throws his shield at them a few times (It comes back.

..? Okay... Wow none of them shot you while you waited for it to come back! Nice!) There was no tension at any moment, no doubt that his strategy of simply beating the bad guys up would have to be re-thought.

The fact that this movie has such high reviews is indicative of the times. People don't want substance, they want a clear, simple to follow plot.
