Plot: Skinny Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) wants to join the Army to fight Hitler, but he is too skinny and sick. An army doctor (Stanley Tucci) and cute British spy Agent Carter (Hayley Atwell) enlist him in a super soldier program, and soon he is bigger, stronger, and Captain America. Eventually he is in Germany battling rogue Nazi Johann Schmidt (Hugo Weaving) who soon becomes arch-villain Red Skull. In the army Steve Rogers works for Colonel Phillips (Tommy Lee Jones) trying to keep Red Skull from destroying the world.
The film has cool art-deco designs especially for the uniforms and the planes. I like that early twentieth century 'modern' styling. The special effect of having Chris Evans head somehow on a skinny short guy's body was flawless, and very effective. Similarly, Hugo Weaving's head somehow did not have a nose. I'd like to see the making of the movie video. The art direction was very good throughout; I really liked Red Skull in his black leather uniform strutting around his HQ making threats.
The best scenes were with Tommy Lee Jones and Hugo Weaving. I did not care for Hayley Atwell's Agent Carter. I did not see the chemistry with Chris Evans. Evans did a good job with his skinny guy and his super-hero personalities.
