matthias s Watching the 1979 "Captain America" is like witnessing a slow-motion train wreck, but less thrilling. The backstory change? A travesty! Gone is the soldier out of time; instead, we get a dull drifter. And don’t get me started on the costume: a glorified motorcycle helmet and a laughably transparent shield. The acting? Painfully wooden. It’s clear the budget was non-existent—special effects look like they were done in a high school drama class. The pacing drags like honey, with an underdeveloped script and characters flatter than cardboard cutouts. Expect lots of talking and barely any action. It's bad—really bad. I’d only recommend this to die-hard Marvel fans who, like me, need to see everything, even the disasters. Save yourself the disappointment and re-watch the 2011 "Captain America" instead. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/09/24 Full Review Audience Member This Movie was pretty entertaining and it looked like it was a motorcycle professional version of Captain America, even though it was pretty campy for the time it is still a pretty good decent movie. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/17/21 Full Review Audience Member filme uma merda pessimo açao horrrosso esse capitão america 1979 o capitão america primeiro vingador e foda capitão america 1979 tosco historia fraca pessima Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review steve d Well there were some long motorcycle chases. Not much else, and definitely no interesting ones. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member I still don't understand how that van didn't catch on fire when the motorcycle just blew out of the back doors of the van. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member don't let people tell you crap about this movie. Sure,it was different, but you shouldn't judge a movie by what it is, but by how hard they tried to make it entertaining. I think that this film tried hard,it needs to be respected, and the captain america suit in it is just great. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
