	Author	Review
United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"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)"	POS
United States	Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly	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"	POS
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"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"	POS
United States	Michael Phillips Chicago Tribune	"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"	POS
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"Red, white and bland"	NEG
