Captain America 3D – August 1st, 2011
This movie was well worth seeing in 3D, despite the $4.00 upcharge. It was right up there with Avatar in the quality of the 3D effects. Also noticed that it did not seem as dark as some of the other 3D offerings of late.
The storyline did need some further tweaking but I understand the rush to get this out in anticipation of next year's Avengers.
The look of Chris Evans as a scrawny little nobody were amazing. The effect was near perfect.
Stanley Tucci does a great German accent. And comes across as brilliant and kind with just a touch of madness in the corner of his eyes.
Then of course there is the pivotal scene where the scrawny asthmatic becomes taller and much buffer. There were audible sighs from much of the audience as our hero was unveiled in all his new glory.
I also wondered why his khakis did not split a la The Hulk. Something tells me the quality of various offerings from the Gap that I have owned played into that or maybe 1940's khaki was infused with an early version of Spandex.
The movie quickly veers into camp, much of it understandable as they need to set the stage for the characters in their next movie. Makes me wonder why they couldn't give us a 30 minute getting to know the characters reel before the film and then start somewhere better. To devote whole movies educating the non-comic books reading among us seems a little unfair.
Hugo Weaving shows up as the villain and his voice alone makes the part.
I won't give the ending away but it kind of pissed me off.
