Captain America (1991) Comics' squarest superhero comes to the screen in a well-intentioned
but stingy adventure that has to rush through the World War Two era
origins of supersoldier Cap (Matt Salinger) and his Nazi nemesis the
Red Skull (Scott Paulin) far too quickly before segueing to the 1990s
for a very tame last battle as the patriotically-costumed 1940s hero
- on ice for 50 years - gets defrosted and has to run around uninterestingly
a lot to save President Ronny Cox from a very unimpressive batch of
baddies. You know a comic book movie is in trouble when the hero is
too embarrassed not to hide his stars and stripes wetsuit under a trenchcoat
for most of the film. First Published In: Empire (issue unknown) Visit Kim's Official Website at www.johnnyalucard.com
