Captain America: The First Avenger (2011) PG-13

B
At heart, this is a WWII melodrama with good acting and believable characters. But even comic-book action sequences need to have a little credibility… Unless this guy's super power is "luck" I just didn't buy it.

Marvel launches another super franchise with this action-packed origin story, which follows Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) as he volunteers for a secret experiment during World War II. Transformed into a superhero named Captain America, Steve goes after the Axis. With his perfect physique and heightened reflexes -- and his sidekick, Bucky (Sebastian Stan) -- Steve battles the Red Skull (Hugo Weaving), a super soldier created by Italian fascists. 125 minutes
