It is 1942, America has entered World War II, and sickly but determined Steve Rogers is frustrated at being rejected yet again for military service. Everything changes when Dr. Erskine recruits him for the secret Project Rebirth. Proving his extraordinary courage, wits and conscience, Rogers undergoes the experiment and his weak body is suddenly enhanced into the maximum human potential. When Dr. Erskine is then immediately assassinated by an agent of Nazi Germany's secret HYDRA research department (headed by Johann Schmidt, a.k.a. the Red Skull), Rogers is left as a unique man who is initially misused as a propaganda mascot; however, when his comrades need him, Rogers goes on a successful adventure that truly makes him Captain America, and his war against Schmidt begins.Written by

The three Germans on whom Schmidt tests the Tesseract are named Roeder, Hutter, and Schneider, after the members of the band Kraftwerk. See more »
Goofs
(at around 1h 12 mins) When Stan Lee is sitting dressed as a 4-star general in the audience at the senator's award ceremony, his medal rack shows a Meritorious Service Medal (not instituted until 1969) and a Prisoner of War Medal (not instituted until 1985). In addition, his Silver Star should be his 3rd decoration, not down in the 4th row, a mistake a general would never make. Finally, his fourragère cord is never to be worn looped in front of the uniform, but rather under or over the arm, and is always worn on the left shoulder, not the right. See more »

At the time it came out, this was my favorite MCU film. I don't know how this one could've been done much better.
The casting is perfect!! Evans was obviously the choice to portray Steve Rogers. I will forever keep Hayley Atwell in that red dress as a fond memory. Weaving as Red Skull? No brainer. No one else could've done it as much justice. Stan, Jones, Tucci, and the rest of the cast of characters bring the story together.
If you haven't seen it,,, GO WATCH IT!!!!
