Team uhhh I Mean Captain America
6:30 PM
You cannot tell me after watching Captain America that the Team American song should have bee in this film.... especially during the fighting montage. Everyone who will ever see this film thinks this, every review I have listened to on the subject has brought it up at least once. And they are all right.
"Americaaa FUCK YEAH!" Despite the obvious Team America references, this film kicks royal ass!!! As comic book movies go, it puts almost all others to shame (Im sorry Iron Man will always take no1 spot for me) and in doing so makes me not only excited to see a sequel, but to see the upcoming Avengers movie. Xmen Origins: Wolverine wish they could have pulled off an origin story this good.
The film itself is a pretty stunning piece of geek work, with script punch ups written by Joss Whedon, directed by Joe Johnston & starring Chris Evans, Tommy Lee Jones, Sam Jackson, Stanley Tucci & Hugo Weaving this film is a nerds wet dream. Throughout the film there are very subtle throwbacks & bits of comic book humor thrown in (Look very closely at the Stark World Fair... Is that a Human Torch suit I see?) which to the average non-geeky watcher are simply window dressings on a great film, but for us comic geeks it's a great little nod & wink from the director for us to enjoy.
The acting itself is great, the cast go out of their way to make sure this is a great film & you'd be an idiot not to see this in 3D, I mean hello seeing Chris Evans shirtless in 3D....
Oops, I mean this picture ;)
Not that it matters what I think or say, you'd have to be a total dummy not to see this movie. And remember to stay until after the credits to see the beyond awesome Avengers teaser!!! That 30second clip along with the movie, I was in geek heaven!

- I love movies, and for over 5 years I worked at a video store somewhere in the depths of Auckland so I could be close to my precious movies & rent those bitches for free! However, I have since moved on. But even after moving on from the store I still have a load of video store stories of crazy customers and random happenings to talk about!!
