Captain America

[Worf101]

As a card carrying member of the MMMS (Merry Marvel Marching Society) since about 1964 I just had to see "Captain America". One if not the first comic I ever "bought" as opposed to filch was a Captain America/Iron Man combo for 12 cents. That' show's how old I am.

In that I can't see 3D we did the 2D screening at 10:30PM and it was almost totally sold out. We had a big screen, good seats and great sound and finally a good movie. The cast was good, particularly Tommy Lee Jones, and the story engaging. I particularly liked the fact that Bucky, Caps Pint Sized sidekick, was drawn much differently than in the books. This Bucky, was the old Steve Rogers friend and protected him. After the new Steve Rogers rescues Bucky from the Red Skull, this Bucky isn't gung ho to start risking his life again to follow Capatain America to glory. Instead he just wants to live.

Another nice point was the inclusion of most of Sgt. Fury's Howling Commando's as Cap's team of Hydra busters. I never thought I'd see Dum Dum Dugan, Reggie and the others on the big screen. I even got to hear the "Wha Hoo" battle cry. It was, for me at least, an incredible moment. As a movie it was good, if not great. and I give it a solid "B" It was good enough to smack them Limey's out of the top spot so I'm happy.

Make Mine Marvel!
