Hayley Atwell brings a refreshing change as the tough jawed, British officer, Peggy Carter. As the weakling Steve Rogers in the beginning of the film, his acts of selflessness and stoic thought have you rooting for him, so that when the transformation occurs although gifted a new exterior the defining, humanising traits of the character still remain. He embodies the very being of this hero, physically and mentally, representing someone who fights for those who can’t, with fortitude and a moral compass that never pointed a truer north. The strength of Captain America lies in the sheer charisma Chris Evans brings as the title character. Rogers puts his life at risk and sets out alone to retrieve his friend and find true purpose. While out visiting troops on tour, he finds an old friend from home, Bucky, ( Sebastain Stan) has been lost behind enemy lines. Not actually fighting any wars, earning money for the war efforts raising bonds with a stage show (musical number included). But, is put to used as a propaganda tool, “Captain America”. Someone at the maximum of their human potential, his mind and body enhanced. He is chosen for an experimental secret project and is transformed in to a “super soldier”.
He has the heart of a lion but hasn’t got the physical attributes to match. Set in 1942, during the midst of WW2, the sickly, Steve Rogers ( Chris Evans) tries several times to enlist in the US army but is rejected due to his frail form. But, surprisingly Captain America manages to a thoroughly entertaining film, with actual heart to the main character, humor and action by way of the Rocketeer. I must admit that I did have my reservations for the movie, no doubt Chris Evans looks the part, but the trailer came off as another uninteresting, run of the mill action flick. Whilst his character has gone through many iterations, his representation as the square jawed, all round leader and good guy has remained.
Cast: Chris Evans, Hayley Atwell, Tommy Lee Jones, Hugo Weaving, Dominic CooperĬaptain America is Marvel’s golden child.
