Semi-camp melodrama
22 April 2005
Major B movie. (That's a good thing :-) Not a complete waste of time if you appreciate melodrama with some scene-chewing hamming. I do. Quite a few fun continuity issues to have fun spotting. No more or less unfaithful to the comic book Captain America than any of the other superhero movies/TV shows. Much better than the 1979 made-for-TV movie and (mercifully) short-lived series and a little better than the 1960s animated TV show, IMO.

What raises this above a "B-" movie level is the "seriousness" of the melodrama. Fun. Watch it on cable, if it comes around or on a dollar rental. Have popcorn ready.
