It's sincere and pulpy and comic booky and has a god damn Alan Menken musical sequence. How did I forget how good this is?

Captain America: The First Avenger

I truly think this film is wildly good. Chris Evans and the rest of the cast have this incredible ability to make you forget it’s a movie and not real life. Quote: I don’t like bullies. I don’t care where they’re from. Character: Steve Moment: Grenade scene 10/10

Captain America: The First Avenger

A red, white and blue superhero journey wrapped up in the nostalgia of the World War II era, where America pluck and moral certainty made the battle. Captain America the first avenger is a truly humble story that fortifies the character both physically and morally. It’s well done

Definitely not the worst marvel movie but its up there. Although, it's got some of the most iconic clips, especially the running scenes.

Captain America: The First Avenger

Hot take, it was just okay. The ending parts are the coolest and the rest is just fine. Good comedy and great villain, but at some points it feels almost too cliche? Still a classic for the MCU but just okay in general.

Captain America: The First Avenger

Used to be my least favorite mcu film(before endgame)but now,after rewatching,it’s pretty damn good.Cgi was a little questionable while him and Peg were talking in the car but,that’s understandable.Even though I knew how it ended,I got teary eyed. 💃🏼🕺💃🏼🕺💃🏼🕺💃🏼 (7/10 postponed dances)

Adding goofy uncertainty to shoulders as wide as the East River makes for a disarming hero in one of the spiffiest WWII action yarns ever to march out of Hollywood.

It goes without saying it's preposterous. But it has the texture and takes the care to be a full-blown film.

Roger Ebert

Chicago Sun-Times

Jul 20, 2011

Evans – always a reliably dynamic and vivacious screen presence – can't do much to bring the character to life. As far as superheroes go, Cap remains a bit of a stiff.
