Superhero F It was good for its time. Sure, there are better serials out there such as Captain Marvel and Spysmasher. But this is still really good for its time! It should not be that hated as is. The beginning is slow but then you have to start getting into it. They didn't have much money on this and caps suit was… yeah… and he didn't even have a shield. I wouldn't rewatch. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Siendo de esa época entiendo el concepto del guion, pero ni siquiera el escudo aparecio, cada capitulo cerraba con una pelea o una explosion lo cual me parecia repetitivo ya que literalmente los 15 episodios terminan asi. Entiento que por el año de salida no podian hacer muchos efectos especiales no se podia hacer cosas como efectos especiales y esas cosas, pero la trama esta pasable pero en realidad el villano no tiene un plan en especial ya que cada episodio quiere hacer una nueva cosa y sale mal. Osea que no me quejo de la nada mas que la trama repetitiva y EL ESCUDO(que no les costaba nada). Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review steve d They got the costume correct... Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Well... this serial is the weakest of the group I have watched lately... The first live action version of a Marvel Comics character (though at the time they were known as Timely Comics).... but this is Captain America in name only... he has the costume but that's about it... Instead of being super soldier Steve Rogers... in this one he is District Attorney Grant Gardner, he has no super powers, no shield, and uses a gun. The fights are also super cheesy, even for this era and the storyline not particularly compelling... this one was a real chore to sit through the full three+ hours. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member An incredibly bad captain America movie that is way too longer and drags way to much Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Rubber ears, crappy stunt doubles, and cuts that either were really slow, or Stan lee on speed. This captain America has no words but terrible. Red skull, you know, the famous German scientist, is Italian. Our brave American patriot is pretending to have polio and spends no time in America. And the ending and acting is soooo bad, it literally made me bed someone to put a new marvel movie on instead Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
