Captain America: The First Avenger

Director Joe Johnston finds the right angle to transfer the Marvel comic into the screen which could have easily misfired. A man unfit for military service undergoes a secret military treatment that transforms him into a superhero to fight evil during the WW II. Johnston and writers Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely cleverly set the story during WW II that fits the story and its characters with a stellar cast and crew. Chris Evans is perfect as Steve Rogers/Captain America with an impressive supporting cast includes Hayley Atwell, Tommy Lee Jones, Hugo Weaving and Dominic Cooper amongst others. The film ends with a clear setup for its sequel that makes perfect sense. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
