In the Marvel world, X-Men still rule supreme but there is a new team lurking around the corner of 2012 and it's led by a strong man with a bullet-proof shield. The film's concluding minutes will be the one that resonates through the audiences but otherwise, it won't disappoint critics, nor will it draw applause from the fans. #Captain america the first avenger in hindi watch online movieIt's a good, passable summer movie with loads of patriotism and historic appeal that nurture our hero. Joe Johnston's Captain America isn't an exceptional movie. As a super-hero in combat, he is just like any other. Unaccustomed to his height and strength, it is fun to watch him realize his own potential. Once he goes through his transition, it's as if he is a different actor altogether. He is equally smooth in funny moments as he is when he is physically challenged in the Army training. Chris Evans is remarkable in his CGI enhanced (?) skinny version where his unfailing ambition is marred by his physical limitations. Tommy Lee Jones is fun to watch because he has the most vivacious character and Stanley Tucci, in his brief appearance is impressionable. Seldom has an actress portrayed such a straight face that became so forgettable. Hayley Atwell as Agent Peggy Carter is dismal in her performance. He has played better roles than this one throughout his career and with a weak plot for world dominance, he has little to dominate on screen no matter how good he can be. Hugo Weaving's malicious plans of world dominance remind us of many European accented James Bond villains but, with a Hellboy appearance. He may have exceptional leadership capabilities through his mild, good-hearted nature but what is a leader without a team? That is what the movie fails to address and ends up being just another super-hero movie. Will he be greeted upon his entry in 'The Avengers' with the same fan- fare that Ironman, Hulk and Thor receive? Certainly not. Without his impenetrable Vibranium shield, he is just a stronger human without any powers. Although its period setting provides a richer backdrop for a super-hero story, one fails to engage deeply with the Captain's motives, emotions and powers. The problem here is that Captain America's back story seems to be a mandatory feature needed as a build up to 'The Avengers'. At times, even the patriotism that is portrayed, can be overwhelming but then, our hero has to justify his name. Captain America's adventure feels like Indiana Jones in its action sequences and at times like a James Bond movie with an ambitious villain who could dominate the world. After much humiliation and insult, Captain decides to cross enemy lines and play a greater role by overcoming bullies such as the Nazi Red Skull (Hugo Weaving), whose Hydra initiative is aimed at world dominance. The tall and muscular Steve now sells war bonds while dancing on stage in various cities as Captain America. Helpless with just one experimental recruit, Colonel Phillip (Tommy Lee Jones) insists on Steve staying out of war as just one hero would do no good. He soon became a part of an experiment that enhanced his strength and capability with a serum that made him the first and last of a new breed of super-heroes. Nothing stopped this patriot from repeated attempts and finally he was enlisted upon the recommendation of a German military scientist (Stanley Tucci). Army due to his short and skinny stature was hardly a discouragement. The diminutive Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) never gave up on a fight in the alleys. After shrinking the kids, playing a live board game, recalling dinosaurs and creating werewolves in his movies, director Joe Johnston takes us back to the World War II era when in the midst of the Nazi turmoil, a country sent its troops to war with one hero, who would save the day for America. However, what makes him the captain, is the quintessential quality of compassion within the weakling Steve Rogers, that values both strength and power. Unlike the hi-tech flamboyance of 'Ironman', the might and super power of 'Thor' and the destructive temper of 'The Incredible Hulk', Captain America has little to offer but his devout patriotism and impenetrable shield as a hero. In preparation for its 'Avengers' who assemble next year, Marvel Comics ends the super- heroes showdown this year with its final prequel about the origins of 'Captain America' – the leader of the Avengers.
