Captain America: The First Avenger

So out of boredom (yeah, wth there are no interesting movies on recently) and because Deardo Wong was dying to watch it, I watched Captain America, another movie which I don't normally watch.
Well I thought story wise, except for some boring beginning, the entire movie was not too bad. Very typical heroic movie with lesser special effects (yea because the story happened in the 40s). Captain America, unlike Ironman or any other superheroes, has a very simple power. Hence, it is not a movie for you to see how powerful Captain America is. I think it is more to patriotism, which I thought was quite an interesting idea. I don't like how the devil died though, looks like too easy and he wasn't even killed by Captain America!
Chris Evans, like Chris Hemsworth in Thor, didn't leave much impact as a main actor of the movie. I mean, they are quite forgettable, which is unlike people like Robert Downey Jr. and Tobey Maguire (die die must squeeze his name in!). The main actress, Hayley Atwell had very minimal chance to act in the movie and I thought she looks a bit too old to be a main actress in a superhero movie like this. Acting wise really nothing fantastic...
I think Deardo and I were most amazed by how they actually shrinked Chris Evans into a smaller and shorter person. I found out how in the movie's Wikipedia page, just in case you are curious too. Sounds like a lot of hard work though...

Although I'm not much of a fan of superhero movie, I think I also can't wait for the The Avengers to come! It's going to be next summer though, looooooong way to go! Haha did you stay till the end of the ending credit to catch a glimpse of the movie???

No lar... the digital shrinking of his body is just a cover up...

In fact, they locked up Chris and let him mal-nutrition for 4 months.. then shoot the skinny part of the movie...

Then use lots of steroids and pump up the body for CAPTAIN AMERICA!!

HEHEHEHEHEHE~~!
