Captain America DVD Review

Hello all
*****This is a Review for the DVD of Captain America the First Avenger I have not seen the Blu ray for this movie, keep that in mind while reading this.*********

First off let me say that the movie is still as great as it was when I saw it in theaters back in July, The transfer to DVD was great and did not hamper the movie one bit, so if you read my Review of the movie back in July you know how the movie went. The special features were an added touch, for one you have commentary by Joe Johnson, but the biggies are the Avenger assemble and the Outfitting the Hero section of the Special Features. Both of these add the final clues to next summer's super superhero move The Avengers. The only other feature of the DVD has previews of Thor, Avengers Animated, Super 8, and Transformers Dark of the moon.

This movie is one of those movies that allow you to lose yourself in an Adventure and forget how crappy the world can be. Not many things can make me smile for a whole 2 hours and make me feel like a kid reading my first comic but this does, and while there some interpretation of the original material. The movie follows faithfully and treats my comic hero with respect it deserves. To this day there is no other comic I revere more than Captain America and this movie is a movie I enjoy very much. Also many of Captain America's allies and enemies are included which set up both his back story and rogues gallery plus the way the movie was shot allows for decent sequels both in the past and in today's world Still the movie is an incredible movie one that will make you lose yourself for a little while so while it is bare with Special Features, it is still worth a buy, but for an Marvel fan it is a requirement to have this movie.

Thor DVD Review

Hello all
Well I just got through watching the DVD Thor and let me say it was a good movie but not a great one. First off let me say that if you are not familiar with the origins of the comic book hero Thor that is ok. This is the movie that tells all about him but if you do know something about him then there are going to be little Easter eggs for all the fans, not only that but throughout the movie they allude to the other marvel titles, those mentioned are Iron man, and the Incredible hulk, and the secret after credits scene elludes to Captain America(which I have seen) Also we see hawkeye and while he does not really show us he can fight like black widow did in Iron Man 2 it does give us a peek at what is to come in the Avengers movie coming out next year. The acting was well done with both Anthony Hopkins and Chris Helmsworth both stealing the scenes they are in but also the others, the only one who really is sub par is Loki played by Tom Hiddleston,

Now the bad
First off some of the comedy scenes seem to be thrown in there just to be in there, secondly the movie feels a little rushed in the end and some of the slower going moments throughout the film do not have as much weight as they should be and the ending feels really rushed still with those aside it is still a good movie and one to whine away and own especially if you are an Avengers or a comic book fan and while it aint as good as the dark knight or Iron Man it is still a good one to own or at very least to rent.

Score
8 out of ten stars
