I love this film, and I love the characters. Set in World War II the film introduces the first Marvel Avenger. Steve Rogers, a frail “little guy” is given the opportunity to serve in the fictional SSR, Strategic Science Research Division if, he is willing to allow a German doctor to experiment on him with a super serum. Rogers is chosen due to his temperament; a frail guy with a lot of guts, intuition, perseverance and compassion. His lifelong friendship is a clue to his devotion to all things that matter and also sets the stage for later Captain America films in the Marvel franchise. Chris Evans, cast as Steve Rogers, is fantastic in the role of bringing mental as well as physical strength to Roger’s transformation. It is a film that also should remind us of our military’s commitment during the World War as well as our allies’ commitments, and this is reflected in the military footage, the posters, flyers and even the defense bonds sold in that time. It’s retro but retro/old fashioned can be a good thing…and this film is. Read full review

I'm a Marvel fan especially Captain America. In fact I own almost all the movies about Captain America and Thor. I liked the movie Captain America : The First Avenger very much. It's very entertaining, it has a very good script and was directed very well. Chris Evans does a marvelous job as the main character. Every movie in the series keeps you on the edge of your seat and they made sure every movie had a brilliant cast.

This is a very interesting movie with an important content, especially in the context of this one and 'Captain America, The Winter Soldier'. I think the third one, 'Civil War', will follow by culminating the series with a serious message for what's going on in our world today. I'm looking forward to its release. The characters are well done with great acting. In my opinion, well worth seeing all three.

I love Marvels! ALL Marvels! Lets me get away from reality for what, 2 1/2 hours or so! Can't beat it! No sex, No strong language. Most Marvels are this way and I love it! However, I am completely saddened that Mark will not be returning to the franchise as the Incredible Hulk! I've grown accustomed to his face and I'm not the only one! :-( Bring him back! Pass it on please!

This film reveals the origin of Captain America with Chris Evans as our hero. For the superhero movie fan it is an enjoyable trip from the serials of the 1940's and through to the action packed hero movies of the late 1980s that began with Michael Keaton's "Batman" and beyond. “Captain America,” is based on a character that first appeared in comics and movie serials in the early 1940s along with all of the other escape heroes like Superman and Batman. “Captain America” is not original in any of it's creativity. There are hints of Indiana Jones, 1940's serials (as stated before) and the movie, Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. It does, however, take these things and make an enjoyable movie. If you like your super heroes, you'll love this movie.
I enjoy watching this DVD because I keep on seeing new thing every time. It's a good movie that sets the scene for the other Avengers movies and locks down the "fact" that Captain America is a good guy with a good heart.

This superhero retains his underdog determination after transformation. Reminded me of the Iron Giant's heart. Tommy Lee character has best line: "If you have something to say, this would be the perfect time to keep it to yourself."
