Captain America: What's RIGHT with summer movies



I did not grow up with Captain America. He was around the neighborhood, but when he became an Avenger, I had moved on from Comics. That said, I liked EVERYTHING about this movie. I went yesterday and got more than expected. "Captain America" was a good World War 2 movie. It was a good super hero movie. It was a 98 pound weakling that becomes strong movie. It was a throwback movie. "Captain America", the movie, owes much to the first "Star Wars". It has that feel! It is a great summer action popcorn movie. It is "Star Wars" more than say "Green Lantern".

I wonder if younger adults get all the World War 2 stuff, though I grew up with it.

I give this ***1/2 stars.
