Nothing very exciting happened this weekend. Adam had to work Saturday, most of the day. I watched Where The Red Fern Grows and BAWLED my eyes out. Then we watched Toy Story 3 and I got a little teary.
So I was really excited for Sunday to see a DUDE movie that didn’t make me cry like a girl, HAHA!
Before I get into my review of Captain America … Is everyone aware that these super hero movies are leading up to something? In May of 2012 all these super heroes will collide in a movie called The Avengers! Captain America, Thor, Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, and others will be joining forces. There other huge names that I’m not sure what their rolls will be yet. Check out The Avengers on IMDB.

Ok on to Captain America. 
IMDB description:
After being deemed unfit for military service, Steve Rogers volunteers for a top secret research project that turns him into Captain America, a superhero dedicated to defending America's ideals.
This was a guys guy kind of movie. Now I don’t mean that ladies won’t enjoy it. It' is a fantastic movie all around! To me it was the least cheesy of all the super hero movies to come out lately. It was a bad ass movie with a ton of action. There was a little romance going on as well for the ladies. The ending was a shock to me! I can’t wait to see how it all unfolds in the next movie!
1. Did the trailer/preview give the entire movie away?
No, not at all! I mean I new he was a super hero and he was gonna kick bad guy booty but I didn’t know all the details!
2. Is this a MUST see in the theaters or do you wish you had just rented it or is it that bad that you would have to wait for it to be free on TBS?
I think it is a must see in the theaters but probably not worth the extra money to see it in 3D. We saw the 2D version but a lot of people I’ve seen on facebook and the internet said that it would have been just as good in 2D. I didn’t feel in any way that I wasted my money.
3. Which movie star do you think MADE this movie?
Well of course Chris Evans did! He’s Captain America. I also loved that Tommy Lee Jones was in the movie … he is one of my favorite actors. Also, another favorite it Stanley Tucci! I love how versitile he is in his roles! The fact that he has been cast in The Hunger Games just makes me giddy with excitement!!
4. Predictability?
Well I was shocked by the ending but maybe others weren’t? I mean we all knew he was gonna win though right? That’s what super heroes do!
5. Rating?
I would give it 5 stars (out of 5) because it wasn’t cheesy, it was easy to follow and understand, it was action packed, and there was a really hot dude as the lead. Go see it!
Next Week: Cowboys vs. Aliens!!!
(This MAY get pushed back a week because we have family coming in from CA this weekend!)

Thanks for the review. My son is dying to see this.
I didn't know about the upcoming release in May!-- Exciting!
We saw this on Sunday, too. I loved it! 100% agree with your review.
I was also surprised at the cinematography of it. The one of the last scenes(1941)(trying not to give away any of the movie) - they did an amazing job of portray the feelings and emotions the characters in the scene were feeling. You felt and thought exactly as they did with out being told what to think. In some of the other previous films leading up to The Avengers (like Thor) I felt they were just trying to tell the story and nothing else. This film was very artistic and I love that kind of stuff!
Thanks for the review! This is on my list to see! I love superheros and comic books. I just don't know if I can drag the boyfriend to see it!
I wondered if all these movies were leading somewhere. I was so disappointed with iron man 2. I hope he redeems himself in e avengers movie because I loved him in the first one.
Captain America looked good in e preview but I worried that the trailer spoiled it. Glad to know it didn't. I will probably wait for video but I'm looking forward to seeing it!
i had no idea there were a series of these leading up to the avengers. NO IDEA... see.. I am learning so much from you and your reviews. I am so in the dark!!
I wish my kids were old enough to see/enjoy these. ryan loves the cartoon version of the super heros but the adult versions are way over him right now..
Always looking forward to seeing your next review- I'm not so sure on Cowboys vs Aliens, so I'm interested to see what you think.
