I just got back from seeing <a href=\"http:\/\/angry.net\/blog2\/?p=4442\">Captain America<\/a> in 3D. Frankly I could do without the 3D, but that was the only show available.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->I won\u2019t go into the plot of the movie. If you\u2019ve read the comic books, then you know the plot. 98Lbs weakling Steve Rodgers undergoes an experimental treatment and turns into super stud Captain America, wiper outer of Nazi\u2019s everywhere. When I first heard about the movie, I, along with a lot of others were afraid that Hollyweird was going to trash this movie. Captain America is a flat out unapologetic patriotic American, the complete opposite of the idiots in the film industry today. Most of them would rather we were being run by the kleptocrats in the UN.<\/p>\n<p>Not this film.<\/p>\n<p>Captain America, the First Avenger is a rock \u2018em, sock \u2018em no holds barred beat the crap out of the Nazi\u2019s pro-American movie. Now, you do have to suspend your belief in things like physics and history. The protagonist, Red Skull, has created tech that doesn\u2019t exist now, never mind 1943. The art department did make use of variations of actual Nazi designs, but these were things that never got off the drawing board&#8230;thank God!<\/p>\n<p>There is the usual love interests, the heroic actions of Captain America along with tragic loss. You can also see how the film makers are tying all the various films together. First with Iron Man, then Thor, (Which I missed in the theaters damn it!) and others to be named later. This is all to lead in to next years big movie, The Avengers.<\/p>\n<p>By now you\u2019re wondering if I liked the movie. Yes I did and I think you will as well. It\u2019s a fun flick. It doesn\u2019t take its self to seriously and is designed so you can just be entertained. I highly recommend it, especially after the disappointment of Green Lantern. I\u2019ve already added this movie to my \u201cBuy on DVD\u201d list. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>My only complaint is the 3D stuff. Since I wear glasses, putting a second pair on over my normal lenses is a pain in the ass. This is why I prefer standard 2D films. Other than that, it was good. The CGI was cool, the colors worked and the 3D wasn\u2019t overdone. (I think the directors are finally figuring out how 3D should be used)<\/p>\n<p>Until the next movie review, which I expect will be Cowboys and Aliens, have a great week and SEE THIS MOVIE!!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Captain America, The First Avenger\" src=\"http:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/en\/3\/37\/Captain_America_The_First_Avenger_poster.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"468\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>~The Angry Webmaster~<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<span id=\"post-ratings-4442\" class=\"post-ratings\" data-nonce=\"98ed0353c0\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_4442_1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_on.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"1 Star\" title=\"1 Star\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(4442, 1, '1 Star');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(1, 0, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_4442_2\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_off.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"2 Stars\" title=\"2 Stars\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(4442, 2, '2 Stars');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(1, 0, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_4442_3\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_off.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"3 Stars\" title=\"3 Stars\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(4442, 3, '3 Stars');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(1, 0, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_4442_4\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_off.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"4 Stars\" title=\"4 Stars\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(4442, 4, '4 Stars');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(1, 0, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_4442_5\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_off.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"5 Stars\" title=\"5 Stars\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(4442, 5, '5 Stars');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(1, 0, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/> (<strong>2<\/strong> votes, average: <strong>1.00<\/strong> out of 5)<br \/><span class=\"post-ratings-text\" id=\"ratings_4442_text\"><\/span><\/span><span id=\"post-ratings-4442-loading\" class=\"post-ratings-loading\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/loading.gif?resize=16%2C16&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" class=\"post-ratings-image\" \/>Loading...<\/span>\n<div class=\"super-news-results\">\n<div class=\"super-news-result\">\n<div class=\"super-news-result-title\">\n<h3>Captain America Review | The Viewing Tank<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"super-news-result-clip\" title=\"http:\/\/theviewingtank.wordpress.com\/2011\/08\/01\/captain-america-review\/\">Captain America has a fixed purpose and a clear moral compass.
