During World War II, Steve Rogers, a frail man, is transformed into the super-soldier Captain America and must stop the Red Skull (Weaving) from using the Tesseract as an energy source for world domination.

The film was directed by Joe Johnston, written by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, and stars Chris Evans as Steve Rogers / Captain America alongside Tommy Lee Jones, Hugo Weaving, Hayley Atwell, Sebastian Stan, Dominic Cooper, Toby Jones, Neal McDonough, Derek Luke, and Stanley Tucci. Produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Paramount Pictures, it is the fifth film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Despite some flaws, Captain Marvel is yet another solidly entertaining pop-corn film from Marvel.Captain America: The First Avenger is a 2011 American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character Captain America. Also, the soundtrack is incredibly well-done using '90s music to set the tone and time period. But the action-scenes and fight sequences are fun and exciting, and there's some lighthearted comedy that works really well (particularly the Stan Lee cameo). Unfortunately the script is rather poor, as it desperately tries to avoid telling an origin story while also ham fistedly forces one in at the same time. Brie Larson gives a decent performance, though she's clearly doing an imitation of a Tony Stark-like character (which there are already too many of in the MCU), and the supporting cast is pretty strong featuring Samuel L. After escaping capture by the Skrull, a Kree soldier named Vers gets stranded on Earth where she discovers that the Skrull are searching for something and during her investigation she unearths a past that she never knew about. Marvel delivers its first female centric superhero film with Captain Marvel, a prequel to the Avengers series. View the collection: Marvel Cinematic Universe
