A more square-jawed Indiana Jones uncle than most superhero pictures, this one has a winningly pulpy spirit. It isn’t quite perfect, and its datedness may well put off younger viewers, but it is a fun picture that takes its conceit seriously enough to work.
Directed by Joe Johnston (The Rocketeer), the film harkens back to a time before CGI became the dominant force in action movies, with a look and feel that is reminiscent of 1940s sci-fi serials. The special effects are surprisingly good, with the film being able to pull off some stunning set design, great hand-to-hand combat and impressive high-speed chases.
The film is a little less dependent on its special effects than most modern Marvel films, with Evans being able to carry the film with his charisma and strong acting. The chemistry between him and Weaving is also a real joy to watch, with the two of them being perfectly in sync with each other.
The story is a bit convoluted but the premise is solid. The movie isn’t as grounded as it would have been had it been directed by a more experienced filmmaker but that doesn’t prevent it from being an enjoyable picture. It doesn’t get as much attention as it deserves, especially as a lead-in to The Avengers but it works well on its own.
