6.9?! Why so over-rated?

It's such a weak story and timeline. I was totally under-whelmed by the movie and was waiting for something to happen throughout. Maybe it's meant for kids? I would not give it more than 6

It was more of a war movie than a super hero one, but I don't see how you can possibly say it was meant for kids. For what its worth, I gave it a 9.

In the kingdom of the blind, you're the village idiot.

He gave Transformers:Dark Side Of The Moon a 9, so that explains a few things....

You hate The Dark Knight trilogy to the death while you think that every MCU movie is a top-notch masterpiece. You can't even criticize him on that matter.

No, it was not! The movie didn't have any legit action sequences involving Cap actually being on the battlefield. It skipped all that stuff in the second act of the film. It just showed dumb montage of Cap fighting Hydra agents and not actually dealing with real events that occurred in World War II. This movie could've been Saving Private Ryan of superhero movies, but it was a lame knock off of Rocketeer.

The movie is obviously underrated it deserves higher than 6.9

For a superhero movie, I suppose not all the fans are gonna like it. But as a standalone film, it's pretty good. It gets played the most by my family because it watches like a war film, and as much as we love superhero movies they're not the same as normal, just plain ol' action movies.

It's got a lovely aesthetic and c'mon. The acting in this is the best out of most of the MCU. Weaving is awesome, Tommy Lee Jones is solid (as always) and Toby Jones plays a brilliant cowardly minion.

If anything, I think its underrated.

This is a clear example of trolling. 6.9 is obviously underrated for this film, so he made a post saying it's overrated...

If anything 6.9 makes it underrated.

Really? I thought it deserves higher score than 6.9! This has score lower than Man Of Steel which was much worse for crying out loud.

Captain America: The First Avenger is a solid, 9/10... Solid.
