Trailer for Captain America: The First Avenger

Meek U.S. Army soldier Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) takes part in an experimental military program that infuses him with super-human powers, and uses his newfound strength to battle the villainous Red Skull (Hugo Weaving) in this comic-book adventure from director Joe Johnston (The Wolfman, The Rocketeer). Tommy Lee Jones, Neal McDonough, and Stanley Tucci co-star in a film written by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeeley (who previously collaborated on The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe).

  1. Positive review
    Ed Gibbs, Sydney Morning Herald No clever messages here, just bang-on romance and action, with another fresh twist on 20th-century history woven in for the kids to dive into after the credits have rolled. Full review External link
  2. Positive review
    David Denby, New Yorker It doesn't try too hard for irony or style; the comic-book sensibility remains pure, square, and happily stupid. Full review External link
  3. Positive review
    David Sexton, This is London Evans is unprecedentedly touching and engaging for a superhero - and the rest of the cast help this adventure seem something close to character-driven instead of just being a bundle of stunts. Full review External link
  4. Positive review
    Sukhdev Sandhu, Daily Telegraph Solid, efficient, often anachronistic: Captain America is earthbound when it needs to soar. Full review External link
  5. Positive review
    Peter Bradshaw, Guardian [UK] The Captain isn't perfect, but he's the equal of Thor and loads better than the Green Lantern: he's the summer's pre-eminent superhero. Full review External link
