The humourlessness, dull and arc-less protagonist, constant nods at other (generally better) Marvel movies, and unimaginative action scenes are one thing. But why is it so badly edited? I'm not film nerd enough to generally even notice the editing, but this was a poorly thrown together mess.

Not my genre. Flashy with no substance. I only watched it a week ago but already can't remember much about it.

This was better than I really expected, but still some scenes were naive. I probably never get over that silly looking costume. How ever this was much better than Tommy Lee Jones's last super hero movie :D

8- highly recommended, great

I like the tone and the period setting, and the epilogue. But man, what a drag this movie is. And what isn't a drag, isn't very exciting. A fan edit might make it tolerable if they cut 45 minutes or so, but as it stands, a pretty languid thud.

I found it very entertaining. Tommy Lee Jones is awesome as always and Chris Evans is cool, but only half as cool as Lucas Lee. I'm a big fan of his, but why wouldn't I be?

I really just couldn't get into this. So mediocre. It all felt like exposition. The first hour and a half should have taken up under an hour. Not to mention I thought Chris Evans pre-Captain America just looked ridiculous. There were a few other CGI moments that seemed a little weird but I think it was because I was watching it in 2D rather than 3D. It was definitely my least favorite of the four Marvel films so far but I wouldn't call it bad by any means.

Fave of 2011

Captain America always was a pretty crappy superhero, and now he's got the worst of the modern Avenger films - all of the cliches with none of the fun.

Not being all that concerned about the upcoming avengers movies, I took this on it's own merits. And meh. That's the best I can come up with. All that huge technology in WWII Supplied by the Italians??? Oh pleez :-(

This movie is based in a duality between good and bad. The beginning of the story is pretty good, magnifique figurine and make-up and a decent plot. However, in the middle to the end, the movie starts to get bad, just cheap action and senseless scenes, the director (and maybe the editor) seems to lose the film itself. Same stuff with the CGI, some moments awesome, another ones just awful. But i got to say that it is the best (does not mean much) superhero movie of 2011.

There's nothing here you won't find done better in other films of the genre.

Even in terms of backwater superheroes, 'Captain America' is way back there, but the dated and dull premise doesn't excuse the dreary execution of this origin story. The love setup is pointless and plain and takes up too much time, at the expense of nazi-fighting fun. One action montage is particularly uninspired. It reminded me of a Coca Cola Zero commercial. With all things bland and boring, there's Hugo Weaving to the rescue! I enjoyed his Herzogian accent even after he tore off his own face.

Not bad. There's something about the ending that I liked a lot.

To heck with Captain America, I want more HYDRA!

it's a pretty standard superhero movie, nothing spectacular, but very entertaining. it may sink to the bottom of the sea of big budget superhero movies out there, but only because there's a considerable variety these days. the bottom line still stands, if you're a fan of comic book heroes jumping out of the pages, brushing off the ink, and starring in a blockbuster movie, than there really isn't much here to disappoint.

Pretty meh except that very charismatic last scene.
