Critics' reviews

"A real movie, not a noisy assembly of incomprehensible special effects (...) If Marvel is wise, it will take this and "Iron Man" as its templates (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"

Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times
Captain America: The First Avenger is stolidly corny, old-fashioned pulp fun (...) The picture is nothing, really, that you haven't seen before, but it's the definition of a square, competent, deliver-the-goods blockbuster"

Owen Gleiberman: Entertainment Weekly
"It is enjoyably preposterous, occasionally touching and generally likable (...) Captain America” is a reminder, at once successful and self-defeating, of the kind of fun that comics used to be"

A. O. Scott: The New York Times
"The most stylish comics-derived entertainment of the year (...) It's paced and designed for people who won't shrivel up and die if two or three characters take 45 seconds between combat sequences to have a conversation"

Michael Phillips: Chicago Tribune
"Red, white and bland"

Peter Debruge: Variety
