“Captain America: The First Avenger” — A Hollywood Reporter Review

“Captain America: The First Avenger” — A Hollywood Reporter Review

July 20, 2011 By News Droid Leave a Comment

The Hollywood Reporter has weighed in with their review of Captain America: The First Avenger.

Here’s an excerpt:

Captain America delivers comic-book action that should satisfy Captain America’s fans, old and new, while Chris Evans’ no-nonsense yet engaging portrayal of a man who doesn’t know how to back away from a fight may cause young women to swoon and young men to join a gym. Yet the film will leave others wondering, especially following the film’s long gestation and marketing build-up, “Is this all there is?”

For in terms of even recent films, Captain America lacks the deft touch, appealing character interaction and sophisticated storytelling skills of Marvel Comics’ X-Men: First Class. And let’s not even bother to compare this to Christopher Nolan’s Batman series.

You can read the full review HERE.
