Captain America

(Gresham)

Perhaps I'm an outlier in my opinion, but this movie was certainly not what I was hoping for. I walked into the theater with high hopes for another Marvel comic's film. The writing in the movie wasn't bad. Even the storyline was well done- but the production design and visual effects design all provided to create a very fake and unconvincing movie. You could almost see the make-up on these actors, and you could tell that the props were fake and the set was plastic. Some might have found the movie entertaining, but I couldn't get into this movie because everything was too well choreographed or too well planned. Didn't appeal to me, created like a "made for tv" kids movie. Definitely a disappointment.
