Captain america the first avenger movie release date

British actress Hayley Atwell is charming as the female lead, Peggy Carter. Johnston also assembled a great supporting cast for our titular hero. Whether this was partly due to the heavy use of CG to recreate the 40's or it was an effect he was aiming for, I'm uncertain, but it made some scenes feel less 'grounded' than it could have benefited from (The look was very similar to Sky Captain And The World Of Tomorrow at times). The only thing that was somewhat distracting at times was Johnston's use of a soft lighting to give the movie a vintage look. Johnston had said they were going for a Raiders of the Lost Ark feel for the movie, and considering the presence of Nazis as villains and Odin's powerful cube that Red Skull harnesses the energy from giving things a supernatural angle, it very much feels like an Indiana Jones film (and is much, much more satisfying and well-told than Kingdom of the Crystal Skull). Also, having most of the film take place in the forties is really fun. It's Evans' performance and charisma that help make The First Avenger as strong as it is. However, Steve Rogers is quite of a stretch, then, for Evans, and he embodies the wholesome and noble hero quite comfortably. Not only that, but Evans has already played another superhero - The Human Torch - twice in the Fantastic Four movies (and appeared in last year's The Losers which is based from a graphic novel). I wasn't sure if casting Chris Evans as the title character was the best choice, especially since Evans is more known for taking slacker and smart alecky roles. But skillful director Joe Johnston, who's no stranger to making period films (my favorite of which is The Rocketeer), takes on Captain America, bringing the story back to Steve Rogers' 1940s origin of joining the Army and soon becoming our nation's first 'super soldier.' Johnston's approach is more of fun and adventure than plausibility, but with the story having its roots deep in science fiction, you can really expect nothing else. The character was given his own film in 1990, but to say it was poorly executed (and even more poorly received) would be an understatement. Captain America: The First Avenger is the final character introduction film, which centers on bringing the patriotic hero to the big screen in a big way. Since 2008's Iron Man, Marvel has been prepping audiences for a major motion picture event that will unite four major superheroes and franchises in one epic film.
