Cleveronix A different way of telling a story

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Eric Stevenson Well, I agree that this is slightly better than the first, not that that really says much. There's even an exact improvement over the score as this has a 3.9 and the first one had 3.8! Well, this is still a very bad movie. I was hoping that we'd at least get to see more of Captain American in uniform but instead we "still" don't see him in the costume for the majority of the film. Most of this movie once again doesn't feel like a "Captain America" movie at all! I'm so disappointed they still don't have the Red Skull. I honestly think Captain America's the only character from the source material that's in this! We actually do get an improvement in one area. The villain is played by Christopher Lee, who honestly isn't bad. Of course, he was in literally hundreds of movies so there weren't that many roles he turned down. At least there's a cute cat in this. The film is once again paced badly and the entire story could have been told as like an episode of a TV show. That isn't what I want to see in a movie, not even a TV movie. The special effects haven't gotten any better and it's all pointless. While an improvement, still crap. *1/2

AaronCapenBanner Reb Brown returns as Captain America/Steve Rogers in another stale and lifeless adaptation of the comic book. Plot is uninspired and forgettable, though again the whole thing is innocuous, so may have some nostalgic value, but "The Incredible Hulk" it is not!(That second pilot film, "Death In The Family" got it right.) Christopher Lee plays the villain, intent on world conquest of course, but this part is beneath him, and he does seem bored by the whole thing; this actor is a horror film legend(Hammer Film studio veteran with Dracula, Frankenstein, and the Mummy to his credit, among many others) so to see him in this is just sad.Marvel Films would have greater success many years later it seems with Chris Evans!

grendelkhan Oh, boy; Captain America vs. Dracula! Sort of. Yes, America's Super Soldier returns, and this time, he has a decent villain. This is by far the best of the two TV movies; and, in my opinion, the best of all of the Cap cinematic efforts (including the serial and "theatrical" film). Christopher Lee rescues this film from complete boredom and makes it entertaining.This time around, Cap has the right costume (or as close as they could get); unfortunately, it demonstrates how bad spandex costumes look on screen, even on well-built actors. The helmet was a bit much (you would think he would take it off when not riding his bike, but, nooooo!). The abilities are still more Bionic than Super Soldier Formula, but OK.Connie Sellecca joins the cast, preparing her for her role in the future Greatest American Hero; and Len Birman is back to provide exposition and counteract insomnia.We get some decent stunts this time, especially the motorcycle jump off of the dam. The story makes a bit more sense, as far as these things go.My biggest gripe is the shield effect. When thrown, it rotates slowly and wobbles. They could have at least sped up the film to make it look like good! As it is, it appears that all you have to do is take a step to the side and wait for it to pass you by, ten minutes later.Still, all in all, this was pretty entertaining. Don't expect X-Men or Batman, but it's good on a rainy day.(Edit-This was written before Captain America: The First Avenger, and CA: The Winter Soldier, so Death Too Soon now ranks as third best. Until the next good Cap film. You get the picture.)

dudeicon OK! Well, this is so bad its funny. First off, this film has nothing to do with the Captain America we all know and love in the comics. Some background from the first movie that I watched but am not going to review: Steve Rogers is a former motorcross racer, now free lance artist and is the son of the original Captain America....(may be the one in the comics). He was in a wreck and was injected with "FLAG" serum by the goverment....Riiiiiiight. Steve rides around in a big blue van...when trouble arises, the back doors of the van open, smoke poors out, and the Captain shoots out on his red, white, and blue motor cylce. He wears a helmet over his traditional mask and his shield is small...very small. Everything on the original design on the shield that was white is now clear. It is a super flimsy piece of work too. it bends and folds whenever he uses it, especially in a seen where he is pushing pack a pack of wild dogs. The story sucks here too. Instead of the Red Skull or Baron Zemo we get the villian from The Man With The Golden Gun. His name is Miguel and he is holding the country hostage. He is spreading an aging formula over cities and he will only provide an antidote for lots of money. Though we get to see a pretty fair amount of Cap in costume, he spends that time riding his motorcyle. I guess the director thought ten minutes of Cap riding his bike to be entertaining...whatever. The fighting seens are also kinda lame. Cap would rather throw a thug into a mud puddle than punch him. Also, every time he uses his enhanced strength or makes a big jump, we hear this supper annoying whistle sound and we hear it a lot. I will say this about the actor playing Cap, Reb Brown, is very big and very built,however, he sounds like a hick when he talks. This movie came out in the late 70s when Marvel comics and this big spread of superheroes on TV. The Hulk, Spiderman, Dr. Strange, and Cap were all planned TV shows. The Hulk and Spiderman both made it past the pilots but only the Hulk would last more than a season. The last try at making a Cap into a movie was in 1990. The movie was supposed to go to theaters but was held back and put on video in 1992. I personally find it to be a much better movie...you be the judge.
