“Captain America: The First Avenger” is an old-fashioned adventure with modern digital effects, and one of the most confident and reliable entries in the Marvel Universe. It really is a pleasure to return to this film. [Full review in Spanish].

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 13, 2025

Chris Evans earned his star power in this role, and he was never better than here.

| Feb 27, 2024

To see Captain America in a WWII backdrop battling Red Skull on the big screen is every fanboy’s dream, and Johnston delivers the goods.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 10, 2023

... a red, white and blue superhero journey wrapped up in the nostalgia of the World War II era, where American pluck and moral certainty made the battle.

Lack of pop. There's not really much here that feels new, like we haven't seen it before.

| Jul 13, 2021

A perfect throwback and homage to the classic action adventure movies of the 80's.

I love the 1940s touches throughout and the action is really enjoyable.

| Mar 26, 2021

The 40s setting is well realised, the characters are all really well developed and genuinely fun to watch, and the action scenes are well shot and exciting.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Feb 16, 2021

Like a drastically more unbelievable Indiana Jones, Captain America combats Nazi villains and stumbles into chases utilizing military vehicles.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Nov 30, 2020

Evans captures Captain America's swaggering bravado along with Rogers' awkward social skills.

| Original Score: 3.5/4.0 | Sep 4, 2020

However, it's just another mindless and soulless action movie, with all the visual and emotional appeal of a wet cardboard box.

| Original Score: F | Feb 14, 2020

While Steve Rogers, the man in isolation, is a beacon of goodness, Captain America, the symbol within a larger narrative context, falls victim to Marvel's penchant for diluted ideology.

| Dec 15, 2019

Director Joe Johnston delivers a fast-paced, consistently entertaining tale that stands on its own while still intertwining seamlessly with the other Marvel universe films that have come before.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 8, 2019

Captain America may be too corny for its own good, not afraid to substitute action for (gasp!) verbal exchange between the characters. But I appreciated the old-school approach, which won me over as the film progressed.

Chris Evans embodies the spirit of Captain America as the Marvel Cinematic Universe introduces us to the super soldier from Brooklyn.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Apr 17, 2019

Captain America: The First Avenger is an agreeable diversion. It's rock 'em, sock 'em comic book fun, but unlike many of the onscreen locations, the story never really catches fire.

| Feb 9, 2019

Overall, it's a pretty solid fare with a straightforward story.

| Jan 19, 2019

The action is exciting, and even better, there's humor and heart.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jan 8, 2019

It may feel a little hokey, being set way back, but for me, it's an enjoyable easy watch with a sense of fun and escapism that it doesn't get full credit for.

| Original Score: 8.5/10 | Dec 8, 2018

Nothing less than an action-packed good time with a great cast, a great lead, a great score and great action sequences. In case you haven't guessed by now, it's great.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Nov 4, 2018
