Captain America: The First Avenger (2011) Retrospective / Review

[@Encyclopedia_Brown97]

My first thought was “hey, this movie isn’t old enough for a retrospective!” Then I realized it came out TEN YEARS AGO

[@tturnquest1]

I know time flies just like that.

[@AspieOperator]

I fell old as hell now and I’m only 18

[@DarkHeroesForever]

I'm little quite surprised because you (well I) would thought out of all the MCU movies he review first would be the one that started it all, which is of course Iron Man, but this is technically the first in terms of timeline.

[@bwillythekid8249]

Well spotted, Watson.

[@oscarstainton]

This is the sequel to The Rocketeer that we will never get from Disney, it certainly comes closer to the pulp adventure genre than every other MCU flick. Joe Johnston always had a penchant for films with that old time adventure quality, under a better regime he would have been the go-director for Star Wars and Indiana Jones.

[@Peer165]

I don't know about that. He did make that trainwreck called Jurassic Park III.

[@oscarstainton]

@@Peer165 Even though Jurassic Park III is my least favourite of the series, Johnston’s direction is hits a enough of the Spielbegian notes decently enough, even with the weak story and changes that rubbed me the wrong way. There weren’t many journeyman directors at the time who could have managed the same film, especially after such a messy pre-production. Ultimately, his films outside of JP3 and a few exceptions tend to be solid as far as big studio films go.

[@SuperOmnicronsj44]

There will be a remake of the Rocketeer . .but with a progressive twist, so , yeah not close to the pulp adventure genre and neither was John Carter of Mars (also Disney)

[@oscarstainton]

@@SuperOmnicronsj44 I felt that John Carter of Mars (to give its proper name) was at least a decent swing at pulp science fiction adventure, even if the same material partly inspired Star Wars and made it’s age more apparent. Goodness knows it wasn’t affected by the current PC mindset at Disney, and I wish that it had been the space opera saga for them to bank off of, NOT the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy.

[@FreshTillDeath56]

He's my favorite. And so is the rocketeer :)

Fun Fact: Jim Morita also played the principal in Spider-Man Homecoming, and in his office, you can see a photo of the Howling Commandos on his desk, implying that the principal is descended from that character.

I’m so happy Evans accepted the role of Captain America, he killed it in the role! And he’ll be joined with Robert Downey Jr’s Iron Man, Michael Keaton’s Batman, Christopher Reeve’s Superman, Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine, Heath Ledger’s Joker, as one of the best casting choices ever.

@Skeletor I’m in complete agreement with you here. I was crushingly disappointed with Rises, but nobody I knew could see what I was banging on about …

[@terryhaircastle5702]

@Skeletor can I just add that Zimmer's score really got on my tits and wouldn't get off them in Rises - its constant 'escalatory' motif.... Dededededededededededededede...just felt way too much. Like being clattered over the head by him while he leans in every few minutes and shouts "the stakes are getting higher and higher... Right?!?!" That, and the ridiculous notion of the street battle between cops and robbers. Just so silly. The cops were in fine shape after being trapped underground all that time - but given they all emerged clean-shaven and fresh, perhaps they had a breakfast bar, a barbers and a gym down there. Who knows - I certainly don't think Nolan did

This is the highest quality retrospective I've seen on KZbin in quite a long time. Easy, easy subscribe. Also TIL that the director did The Rocketeer and October Sky, two of my absolute favorites (both involving German scientists, too...). No wonder the period piece feels so right in this!

[@lukedaley17]

This is the first MCU Retrospective you’ve uploaded. Brilliant, Oliver.

[@tturnquest1]

One of the most underrated movies in the MCU. Saw it when it first came out and I loved. Seeing it today I’ve grown to appreciate it more and more. Partly because everyone involved knew what they were doing when making this film. Captain America: First Avenger is a great film.

[@SuperOmnicronsj44]

What's interesting is the "Star Spangled Man with a Plan" musical bit will be revisited in Hawkeye Disney Plus in an Avengers musical bit . Evans had a background in theatrical dance, so it was kind of up his alley.

[@swanpride]

You know, when I saw Iron Man, I thought it was fine, but it didn't really grab me. But Captain America, that was all what I was missing for so long, a movie about a true hero with principles as opposed to some man child. It also had the way better love interest in Peggy. And Bucky broke my heart.

[@derekseven1647]

The makeup on Red skull is perfect and it's movie does feel like The Rocketeer. Joe Johnson did an amazing job all three of the Captain America films are my favorite MCU movies.

[@brevonsflicksgames7450]

I wasn’t a fan of Captain America until I saw this film and the Avengers

[@SAPProd]

This was my favorite of the origin films (sans Avengers). My friends thought it was too safe and restrained in the action, relying too much on “classic” fight styles, which I understood (and I too feel the problem regarding the montage), but the story of Steve, a “good man”, has been consistent since this film, and the pay off with Endgame was worth it all. I also agree the Cap films have been the most consistent in quality.

[@Halbared]

Chris Evans as the Chris Reeve is a good way of putting it.

[@leocmen]

Criminaly underrated movie Made me love a character who has been a target for my hate for decades.

[@Koopaklown]

This is my second favorite movie in the MCU behind Winter Soldier. I always respected Captain America as a character, bit this film turned me into a fan. I can rewatch it more than most of the MCU catalog. On the subject of classic period piece flicks, any chance for a Sky Captain & The World of Tomorrow review 😉

[@ydcee3123]

Yes. Nothing beat WS. And that movie score.

[@swanpride]

Not sure where I would rank it, but it is certainly my favourite of the origin movies.

[@Benji568]

This is the most underrated movie in the MCU. I have always really enjoyed since I was 14 years old. An 8/10 from me!

[@ChaseSchleich]

Critics should never lower a films score because it had a 3D option. That has nothing to do with the film itself, the story, the characters, the effects, none of it. Score the move based on the movie, not on what the distributor does to make more money. That's not the fault of the film. If you want to add something in the review about the 3D conversion, whether it adds anything to the film or is awful, that's fine, but I don't agree with lowering the score because of it.

[@henry3153]

The film doesn’t really have a second act. Once act 1 is done it just rushes to the climax.

[@MikeSandersonVideos]

Slight flaw. Still entertaining though. Love seeing that WW2 era come alive.

[@VegimorphtheMovieBoy]

Great review! The First Avenger is still my favorite Captain America movie and favorite MCU film overall, because of the actors and characters, the origin story, the 40s pulp adventure aesthetic, and the music, and I think its highly underrated.. I also agree that the third act feels a bit rushed because they're trying to set up for The Avengers, and i definitely wanted more, but I was satisfied just enough with what we got because of the emotional weight of Bucky's "death" and Steve's sacrifice. With Hayley Atwell coming back on board as Peggy Carter (at least in What If...), I hope Marvel gets to return to that WWII adventure aesthetic again soon.

[@samuelbarber6177]

I could see a whole TV show about Cap’s time in WW2. Maybe with a style reminiscent of Inglorious Basterds or Saving Private Ryan. I’d love it. He could get stuck historical battles and meet real people. He could actually punch Hitler in the face, or kick Goebbels in the balls. He could… I dunno, rescue Werner Von Braun or other scientists, liberate concentration camps and do it all in that glorious outfit.

Sorta right . The mcu changed after the Winter Soldier making the films with a lighter tone with too much silly humor after . I mean they still have good action and Civil war was good though the fight at the airport was light but was supposed to like the comics when the X men fought the Avengers . I agree on a WW2 story but never happen since Evans contract is up and cheap Marvel wont pay him a decent wage . RDJ was making 50 million a film and the others 3 million or less .

I liken this to the Chris Columbus Harry Potter- It may not be everyone's favorite, but for the gateway into this character, and for establishing the foundation, they did a fantastic job

[@sneakyskunk1]

Captain America: The First Avenger was always my favorite of the origin movies. It absolutely deserves the Oliver Harper treatment. In my dumb little fantasy world, 1940s Cap would have had at least one team up with The Rocketeer. That or an older Shadow would be pretty cool to see. One of those is very possible, the other not so much.

[@jjrbarnett]

Saw it recently and felt it improved with age. It was "Captain America and the Howling Commandos". If it has a problem, it's that it tries to put too much into one movie. It should have been a 2 chapter serial with more defined missions. Considering, the character was not often adapted, they had to cram a lot of history in a 2 hour movie.

[@DisneyFan16672]

Fun fact: The song “Star Spangled Man” that plays during Captain America’s promotional tour and again during the film’s end credits was written by Alan Menken and David Zippel who earlier lent their songwriting prowess to the 1997 Disney animated classic “Hercules”.

[@moviemetalhead]

Captain America will always be the first Avenger, no matter how much Disney wanted to retcon that fact by making Captain Marvel "the first Avenger."

[@derekseven1647]

Chris Evans is exactly the Christopher Reeve of the marvel universe and it's amazing that both of their names are Chris. Joe Johnston should direct a Superman movie or the Russo Brothers should direct the Superman movie and you go baby is perfect as the Red skull. Thanks for another great video Oliver.

Captain America is my favorite Avenger! Thanks to the sequels for his movies and Avengers sequels, he became an icon, and it helped that many people and myself went and finally saw the 1st movie and were very surprised how good it is. I loved it, despite it's flaws.

[@tashrif46]

To me, Cap became a relatable character and really the heart of the Avengers with the 3 movies inside the MCU. All 3 excellently crafted, character-driven stories which can stand without the action scenes. In his deepest core, in the words of Dr. Erskine, Steve was a good man. Not perfect, but good. And that was enough. And the Winter Solider expanded and redefined the icon. I am looking forward for the Winter Soldier review, which is to me, is the best MCU movie of all time. 1:42 oof, that musical queue from Endgame as well.

[@rubeng370]

Even if Spiderman 3 this christmas turns out to be awesome and the best web head movie ever made. Captain America will still be my favorite MCU trilogy. I don't love the MCU Spiderman movies and Ironman trilogy has it's flaws. But with Steve Rogers it is always consistent and jaw dropping every time a new movie came. I will always remember the hype Civil War had, to the point where I am counting down the days, rewatching trailers, and previous movies. Then became even to this day my favorite MCU movie tied with Infinity War. During the credits of Endgame, it's so epic when Chris Evans name pops up

[@ytuser_3122]

The MCU Spider-Man films were disappointing, Iron Man and Thor’s Trilogy sucked compared to Captain America’s. I cried seeing Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr’s Title Cards in Endgame.

[@redkommie80]

Captain America is and will always be a symbol of a good man, using his heart and couscous as his compass, and being the expectation of how Americans should strive to be (this will cause debate as sadly many.... just use it for their own purpose). Always been a fan of Cap, but feared the boy scout personal might turn people off. With Chris Evans, Joe Johnson, later Russo's and how MCU overall portrayed him, he was shown how I have seen him to so many others. He is hope, compassion, and looking to do the right thing. He will get knocked down at times, but he will always get back up. This movie was great. Not perfect, but it did Cap right, and the montage is quite fun.

[@Helixium08]

Just rewatched this movie recently, and holy shit, the quality of every aspect of this movie is 100x better than most of the recent Marvel movies in Phase 4/5. Even though this movie came out in 2011, it's ironically a breath of fresh air watching it.

[@rubeng370]

28:50 that is true. People hated how Wyatt Russel looked as the new Cap. Or even the Avengers game, where it doesn't feel right. The suit and a new face for Steve is something we are not ready for any replacements

[@rubeng370]

[@indytim]

The 1990 film version of Captain America did receive a theatrical release in the UK. I was working as a projectionist at Showcase Cinemas at the time and clearly remember screening the film. The thing I remember most was its marketing company thought it was a good idea to produce frisbees promoting the film to be distributed to kids at cinemas. As soon as kids were handed frisbees at the box office they immediately started throwing them, as you would expect, which caused no end of trouble with them hitting fellow patrons and the concession stand in our foyer. We quickly decided to stop handing them out as they were more trouble than they were worth. That said, I still have one somewhere.

Another great Oliver Harper Retrospective. I hadn't thought about the Hydra design and how it probably should have been grittier and steam punk influenced. Chris Evans was the perfect choice for Cap, although at the time I remember being surprised as he had been Johnny Storm in 2 Marvel movies. Casting him took some insight- what a great decision!

[@speedracer1945]

I liked this film as the director knew the era and gave us a good origin film with the Red Skull as the bad guy . I liked Caps outfit and helmet since wasnt hokey like the Avengers film. Wasnt much screen time for the Howling Comandos made me wonder why to include them but still nice touch . I bought the bluray as soon as it came out with the side cover with the first Captain America comic cover on the back . I have the ps3 game Captain America Super Soldier and still have my ps3 console and when the made Winter Soldier the way Cap fights at the beginning is like the game .

[@sfighter0085]

Fantastic as always, and fantastic choice for your first forte into the "MCU". I remember seeing both "Thor" and this movie in the Theaters. While I thought "Thor" was a visually good looking movie, this film was more of a traditional and more well done film that really explored the character's origin, something that "Thor" really lacked. I'll admit, I was a bit iffy on the casting of Chris Evens as Captain America, but he really nailed the role. Also, I can never forget the music, especially the "Captain America March", such an amazing theme. It really fits with the old time setting and the whole superhero motif. This year, I attended my very first "Free Comic Book Day" at my local comic book shop, and while me and my Dad were there, the Shop was playing some comic book movie music, and a slower version of the Captain America March played as one of them. Been such a long time since I've seen this movie, and now its 10 years old. What a milestone.

[@mmickle6191]

This is my favourite MCU film.

[@christophergarcia3695]

I think the Hydra futuristic aesthetic worked as a benefit for the movie. I do agree that it made the film feel more like fantasy' at took me out of the 40's feel; however, it helped establish consistency within the MCU. Across the over 20 films, when we've seen the stones or where they're referenced, high tech was commonly involved: the portal device in Avengers 1, the gauntlets in 3 and 4, holograms in Gotg and Thor 2. Yes, there are other times where the stones were used by other means, like magic in Doctor Strange. I'm just saying the aesthetic in the first cap movie set the tone for how the stones will be interacted with. Either magic or advanced technology.

[@rubeng370]

I agree, Captain America has some of the best theme songs in the MCU. Spiderman has his theme that plays for like 6 seconds. And of course, Black Panther is easily recognizable. Surprisingly, DC keeps the music consistent with Wonder Woman and even Superman for a bit

Viewers who had problems with this film need to watch or rewatch the first 3 live action versions mentioned. Although the 2 with "Motorcycle Man" are two of my guilty pleasures since I was a growing up. Oliver said some of the equipment were to futuristic for the era, but this is a superhero based comic book movie. There were plenty of futuristic-like stuff in the books since it's heyday.
