There once was a Nazi so evil that he even hated other Nazis, including Hilter. He looked just like another evil man, from The Matrix, and he wore badges with an evil skull octopus on, and he was just all evil and stuff (Hugo Weaving).Luckily for us, and the whole world, a genius scientist has taken his super awesome serum project to America (where else? no other country could win a war) and teamed up with an angry weather beaten Army guy (Tommy Lee Jones) to find a modest heroic type to turn into a super soldier. Cue tiny Stevie Rogers (Chris Evans - not the ginger one) with his big head and skinny little shoulders, he's all goofy and stuff. But he is so awesome and brave, and all that sort of thing. If they hadn't plastered his huge torso all over the posters and tv it might be more surprising when he pops out the machine with pecs galore. Not that I'm complaining, in fact my main complaint would be that this guy wears too many clothes - he needs to take his shirt off more often. Anyway, now we have a super-buff super-moral nemisis to take out the creepy Nazi man.
I couldn't concentrate properly on some scenes because I was trying to figure out which bits were filmed in my stomping ground of Manchester. I can't believe a total beefcake like Chris Evans was in Manchester and I didn't see him once. Unfaaaaaaaaaaaair.
It's all rather enjoyable. Don't bother paying extra for 3D, the best stunts are those with real people on motorbikes and such. CGI is getting boring. There's a nice little cliff hanger featuring a man who's in hardly any films (Samuel L Jackson), but don't worry if you are left unsatisfied by his brief appearance - apparently Marvel have already started working on a sequel (and Chris Evans has signed up for a deal to make 6 Marvel films - and dear lord, they can't be making any more Fantastic Four, bleurgh)
