Review:  
Captain America, This is the super hero that I have waited for a very long time to be screened in a big cinema. I was really excited when I read the synopsis and watched the trailer. It seems that everything was so great. I also loved they picked Chris Evans as Captain America figure, ithink he suited really good as that American Superhero. I just watched it and this movie was really good. I love, after waiting for such a long time for this big hero, and it's not disappointing at all. For me, everything was great on this movie. Let's see it side by side. :D
The story, there is not much to tell about the story. It's again adapted from a successful comic book. Like we all know, it's all about a weakest kid on the block tries to be a superhero and there is he, at last be a superhero who stops the super enemy. I can say that superhero story is have many things in common from the customs, the powers, the enemy, the girls, the vehicles, even the story itself. It's cliche and nothing is new here. But Captain America, even it's cliche, but the story is good in proportion, I mean it's not too long and it's not too short, but it tells everything the audiences have to know. It's not lame just like the other superhero movie lately. I will call it good for Captain America.
The acting, I really want to give credits to all of the acts of Captain America here. Chris Evans is not really showed up in Fantastic Four, even worse in Push, but this Captain makes him really a Captain. He really suites the character. He is big, strong and of course American, he proves that he is capable to play that first avenger in the history. He gives a good proportion also to this character. The others are also did a good job, Sebastian Stan, Hayley Atwell, Tommy Lee Jones, Dominic Cooper, and Hugo Weaving did a good play on their character. It develops in a right way. 
The Director, Joe Johnston, we all have known him from his great movie like Jumanji and Honey, I Shrunk The Kids. I also want to give him credit to direct this movie in a proper way. Everything seems to walk in a right way. It's not too much and too little. It's just complete by everything that he has done to the movie. Good job brother.
The effects, it doesn't show up much effects like the other superhero movie but again, the effects used in a proper way too. It's just good to see a movie like this. The greatest effect movie for me was when Chris Evans was made up to be a skinny short guy. That's not his body, it's all computer effects. But everything was well done here. At first, I just don't believe he was him, I mean Chris Evans, but that body was so real and I ever thought that they found another act who looked like Chris but skinny one, but I've got wrong. It's all Chris Evans himself with computer effects. What an amazing effect. 
Overall, this movie is great, it's recommended to watch it in a theater especially for you who have been Captain American fans for a long time. I know you all have been waited for this movie just like me. It's not a greatest superhero  movie of all time but it's still great. Can't wait for him in the Avengers next year with other superheroes. Just enjoy it. :D

Good points: 
-   It's not lame, well scripted
-   Proper effects make this movie greater than any other full effects superhero movie.
-   Chris Evans fans, this time is yours, he is great :D 

Bad points:
-   The story is similar like the other superhero movie

Rating: 8.3/10.0
