Before Marvel built an entire film empire, they kicked around the idea of a movie about Captain America. Talks started in 1997 and financing was secured in 2000. But a lawsuit kept the project on hold until it was resolved in 2003. When Marvel finally got the green light to make movies, Joe Johnston was tapped to direct this throwback period piece about an old-school superhero.
The story begins in the 1940s, when skinny Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) is a brainy but scrappy scout who doesn’t fit in with the macho men of his time. A Nazi scientist named Erskine tries to inject Rogers with his superhuman serum, but it turns him into a wimp. Then, at a war bond rally in New York City, Rogers meets Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell). He pursues her and discovers she’s working for a top-secret military organization called HYDRA. Rogers then fights the Nazis, rescuing Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) in the process.
Evans gives it his all as Rogers, and his performance is one of the main reasons this film is a must-see for fans of Marvel’s classic heroes. Atwell is also excellent as the female lead, adding a needed feminist counterpoint to all of the testosterone-fueled machismo. Stan is also very good as Bucky, though he’s not quite ready to match the talents of the actor who played him in The Winter Soldier. In fact, he looks and acts like a kid most of the time.
