I recently had the pleasure of watching Captain America. I was a little worried about the movies casting at first because Chris Evans will always be Johnny Storm for a LOT of people. I mean, he did a great job in that role, and the subsequent roles after that. I loved Push, but let's not get off topic... Captain America. Steve Rogers is a literal 98 pound asthmatic to desperately wants to join the US Army. Not to kill a bunch of bad guys, or be a hero. Because he wants to stand up to a bully. And let's face it, who was a bigger bully than Adolph Hitler? But, because of his size, and his various health issues, poor Steve is labeled unfit for service and sent home. That doesn't mean that he gives up. The plucky lad tries to enlist a total of 5 times before he is noticed by a doctor and inducted into a top secret program that is trying to create the perfect super soldier. He impresses Colonel Chester Phillips, played by Tommy Lee Jones, with his willingness to throw himself in harms way to save his fellow soldiers, and they decide that he has the perfect qualities to become the super soldier. Under the supervision of Dr. Abraham Erskine (Stanley Tucci) and Howard Stark (Dominic Cooper), he's injected with a serum that finally allows Rogers to become all that he wanted to be. I won't give away the plot. The effects are great. Chris Evans totally broke out of his Johnny Storm persona and made Cap his own. If you haven't seen this one yet, I don't know what you're waiting for. And make sure you stick around after the credits. Trust me, it's worth it..... Happy watching.
