Movie Review: Captain America: The First Avenger - Page 3

But in the end, it’s Joe Johnston proving he’s more than just a “shooter” here. He’s become a true craftsman with Captain America. While the summer may have already given us one piece of the Avengers puzzle with Thor, now we get The First Avenger who’s far from a slouch. Worry all you want naysayers, Joe Johnston has knocked it out of the park with this one and even manages to give the PG-13 rating a real run for its money. Calling one scene “splattacular” is an understatement and I’m still amazed they pulled it off. It’s also of note that even while being converted to the 3-D format, it finally managed to make me actually dodge something that really looks like its about to come flying at your face. Bravo indeed.

Note: There is supposed to be a final “scene” after the credits but for some reason it was not attached to our screening. Hopefully it finds its way online this weekend. But for everyone else, I think I’ve given you enough reason to step up and buy your tickets for the best action film of the summer.
