Captain America: The First Avenger

Movie: Captain America: The First Avenger
Genre: super hero
Synopsis: Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) is the original 98-pound weakling.  He keeps trying to enlist in the army during World War II, but keeps getting a 4F. He finally gets in with the help of Dr. Abraham Erskine (Stanley Tucci).  In return, Steve volunteers to ne a guinea pig for Dr, Erskine.  The experiment not only adds about 6 inches in height and 100 pound in weight, but it also gives Steve incredible strength and speed.  Steve does battle with the evil Nazi scientist, Johann Schmidt (Hugo Weaving) who is tapping into mystical powers in an effort to conquer the world. Steve, as Captain America, goes on to become the first member of The Avengers.

My two cents: A bit of a disappointment. When it is compared to some of the other movies that have been setting up  The Avengers – like Iron Man and Thor, it felt more like a TV movie
