Saw the film today, my intention was to see 300 but no showings during the day in 3D so opted for Captain America, with some reluctance I might add. The original was OK but with so many comic book hero movie releases I thought this would just be another instalment of, keep the characters in public consciousness until we finally created a great movie ( latest wolverine an example of this).

This film re-writes the genre and takes cinema to a new level. Absolutely stunning visuals, compelling script and great performances especially from Redford - screen stealer every time.

I will not divulge the story because many reviews do this aptly so no need for me.

I was absolutely blown away and remember thinking throughout the film - i want more of this - up until the end when I was generally sorry to be leaving the cinema. This films grabs hold of you from the start, never lets you go or interest wain and throws you out at the end as if you have just experienced the cinematic equivalent of a fair ground ride.

Go, it will not disappoint.
