Review:  It is not the first time that I watch this movie, as it is maybe my favorite from all the movies with heroes from the Avengers team (Iron Man, Thor, Hulk), except for The Avengers itself. The character of Captain America is interesting and the WWII uchrony is fun. I thought I could't relate to this 100% American hero but he fights for universal values so he turns out to be a nice guy. Only at the very end when the defeated ennemy tells him that he dreams of a Future without flags, and Captain America replies: "Not in MY Future". This sound a bit more than patriotic, almost nationalist. Do we need flags and separate countries to give people a reason to fight each other? As if religion and petrol were not enough. Anyway, the character is well introduced, so is the bad guy. The hero gathers a team of soldiers to help him fight Hydra, wich is I guess inspired from the comics book. Weapons design is nice (the final ship!) and the special effects good-looking. The sequel Captain America: The Winter Soldier is currently in post-production.
