Back to Captain America. It started off in a snowy area, where some people find some kind of huge metallic object. They go into it and find something round with a white star on it. Now it goes back to the 40's. It doesn't tell you this, but it happened. During this time, there's a lot of dialogue. I almost felt like it was going too fast. It did show how Steve Rodgers was a wimp, and was just too small to actually win a fight. His best friend, "Bucky" is also introduced. He is an average guy, but stands up for Steve, and is a good friend. Steve has tried to join the army 5 times, in different places, all of them saying he was from a different place (that's illegal). His 6th time, we meet the German scientist who makes Steve Captain America. We then also meet the love interest, who is a British agent named Peggy Carter. After a while, Steve becomes super strong, and about 6 inches taller through a medical procedure done by the scientist, and who I would believe is Tony Stark's grandfather, Howard Stark.
The German scientist then gets shot in the heart, by a German spy, right after Steve becomes super human. Steve then chases the man and kills him, becoming a hero. He is then named Captain America, and does shows for a few months. He then tries to do a show in front of a group of soldiers who aren't as amused. Steve then learns that Bucky, who got into the military, and the rest of the squad that was captured by the bad guys who are in an organization called Red Skull, which later becomes Hydra after the leader decides to branch off of the Nazis.
He then goes on a solo mission to rescue them. This is the first time we get to see him in action. He's more stealthy though, because he doesn't have much armor, and only has a regular shield. He gets all of them freed, including whoever else was captured, but not before the leader of Hydra, decides to blow the place up in an attempt to hide all of the power they were harnessing from this little cube thing, and kill the Captain. The leader of Hydra, then pulls his face off... Yes. He pulls his face off, revealing a red skull, which turns out to be the side effect of another experiment that was done by the German scientist who was mentioned earlier. He then escapes. Bucky then walks across a beam to get to safety, but right before it breaks. The Captain then has to jump across, as he has no other choice.
The camera then changes mid jump, to a Colonel telling a Lieutenant what to type into a type writer, saying that Captain America has died. We then see everyone else in the camp get all exited over something. We then see Captain America and the 400 other soldiers he saved, walking up a hill.
This is when he finally gets some respect. He then gets new armor, and his shield. He also makes a team, composing of some of the people he saved. Then there's a montage of about 10 different missions they went on. I love these, you really get to see Captain America in action. After that, Mr. America gets some. Not really, but he does start making out with an intern, right before Peggy finds them, and interrupts them. They go on a few more missions, and a movie is made of him that Peggy sees, and Steve has a pocket watch with a picture of Peggy in it.
The Captain then devises a huge plan to raid Hydra's main base. He kills some of the Hydra soldiers, and then gets captured. He ends up in the main room of the base, in front of Red Skull. Three of the American soldiers then break through the glass and into the room. More people are cued, and a big fight scene starts. Red Skull then tries to escape into a jet. The Captain is too slow to catch him by running, but the Colonel shows up in Red Skull's car with Peggy. They then quickly speed up to catch it. While doing this, Steve finally kisses Peggy. He jumps, and barely makes it. The car then stops right before the edge of the cliff.
The Captain gets in and sees that the inside is filled with nukes, labeled Chicago, Boston, and New York. He fights his way up to Red Skull, and fights him. Red Skull then holds the power cube in his hands, and he goes into another dimension. Steve finds out how close he is to New York, and he can't cancel the bomb dropping. Captain America then has a heart breaking talk with Peggy, who is back at the base, saying they will dance next Saturday. The Captain then dives the plane into an isolated snowy area. He then wakes up in a hospital, hearing a baseball game on the radio... back in the 40's. A nurse comes in and he then realizes that he was at the game that's being played on the radio. He busts out of the room, and finds himself in modern day New York. Soldiers surround him, and he's told by some guy that he's been asleep for 70 years. He says that he's ok, but he missed a date. The movie then ends.
Go see this movie if you haven't, it's worth it alone just too see the action scenes. Something I noticed though, I saw almost no bullets or muzzle flairs, yet somehow the Hydra soldiers were dying. I saw a lot of the blue stuff Hydra was shooting, but not many bullets. But besides that, you need to go see this movie.
