However, I found the villain to be a little too weak. Red Skull just isn't a real threat.

pfft. LOL :lol: Yamamama the Obama llama?
airichan623 (post: 1497090) wrote:Ok back on topic... those slo-mo scenes are especially annoying when you're watching it in 2D. Other than that though, as far as superhero movies go, I really like this one. Steve Rogers is by far one of my favorite underdog heroes- he's not a nerd or anything, just a wimp. And that's what makes him so endearing. And the female lead was awesome- best moment: punching the recruited guy at the beginning.

Captain America's little group from the 108th was too interracial to be even close to a real 1940's platoon. Hate to say it, but the American army was racist back then- Asians had their platoon, and African-Americans had their platoons-they didn't mix. [Not being racist, just stating historical fact.]
They could have cleared it up with just one line, possibly about how they were also German prisoners separated from their platoons. Ok rant over.

There was another project the military had with the Japanese. Certain men were taken to an island. The military then trained their dogs to hate these men and hunt them down. The idea was to train dogs to be able to pick up on the presence of Japanese soldiers.
Naturally it failed, because different races don't have different scents.
