MIX UP REVIEWS:
Jan (Age 12): ★★★★1/2
" I really enjoyed this film, the film was set during the 1940s. The highlights for me were; Steve Rogers trying (and failing) to get into the U.S. army, he takes part in a project and becomes Captain America after finally getting a place in the army. Steve also had a friend (Bucky Barnes) who was in the US military, Steve soon learns Bucky is either dead or held captive by HYDRA (the Nazi division for science). HYDRA is led by the power-hungry Red Skull, who plans to conquer all the planet for himself, including Nazi Germany. This plot is very thrilling to watch!
'My Favourite character top 3 of this movie' is:
1. Howard Stark (he was absolutely hilarious)
2. Steve Rogers
3. Bucky Barnes
Overall a great film, with amazing characters, and dramatic scenes (a bit over-dramatic at times). I recommend this movie to anyone who likes action-adventure films."
