Captain America: The First Avenger

Captain America: The First Avenger

For a movie that is meant to show that true strength lies within the heart, Captain America could have used a little more heart in its direction.

After an hour and a bit more, the main underlying plot of it all is revealed to be a loaded religious tale...
