Spoiler Alert! Spoiler Alert! Spoiler Alert! Spoiler Alert! Spoiler Alert! Spoiler Alert!By Joan Alperin Schwartz
'Captain America: The First Avenger', directed by Joe Johnston (Wolfman) is the latest superhero to come out of the 'Marvel' stable.
The year is 1941...Hitler and his merry band of Nazis are storming through Europe.
One particular Nazi, Johann Schmidt aka Red Skull (Hugo Weaving) is in Norway searching for an ancient artifact known as Odin's Tesseract...
This artifact is very, very powerful. We know this, because of the small print written on it... ...not meant for human eyes...Apparently, the Tesseract gives a person unlimited power. And who is the last person on Earth you'd want to have this power...Mr. Red Skull of course. He's so evil that even Hitler wants him gone.
Anyway, Red Skull finds the Tesseract and I'm sure you can guess the rest.
Meanwhile, back in the USA, Steve Rogers (Chris Evans)a scrawny, asthmatic dude, with enough illnesses to keep his health insurance premiums at an all time high, wants nothing more than to join the Army and defend America against the evil doers. Unfortunately for Rogers, no matter how many times he tries to enlist, the Army keeps rejecting him. That is until...
Dr. Abraham Erskine (Stanley Tucci), a kindly German scientist, comes along. He sees something in Steve...an inner goodness. So with Erskine's pull, Steve becomes a soldier in the United States Army. He also agrees to undergo an experimental procedure that the good doctor and inventor extraordinaire, Howard Stark (Dominic Cooper) came up with. If this experiment works, Steve will become a 'Super Soldier'.
Quick note...Red Skull underwent the same procedure, but things didn't turn out exactly right...Hint: S...

Downey Jr. is as charismatic as ever, and it is by focusing on his character acting that this comic book film managed to be something a bit better. Too many films in this genre are focused on the special effects to the exclusion of character development, but characters are what make films worth watching, so I'm glad that this film was concerned about more than how they could show their budget in a thirty second trailer, although it did that as well.
