Review Summary
This is yet another version of a movie about the comic book hero Captain America. While this movie is, BY FAR, the truest to the comic, the plot is still pretty lame. While foiling a plot by The Red Skull back in 1945, Captain America is launched on a missile heading for Washington DC. He manages to redirect the missle and in the process get photographed by a kid. The missle goes into north Atlantic Ocean and Cap Freezes. Cut to the present. Red Skull is still alive and is actually responsible for practically every bit of major crime and terrorism that has happened since 1945. Cap is unfrozen and the kid that took the photo is now the President of the US. Red Skull kidnaps Pres and Cap has to save him while trying to track down all his family and friends. Do not bother watching unless you REALLY like Captain America.
