I must confess I find the tenor of this review disappointing and a little confusing. It feels like the writer had preconceived notions that the film was anti-American, and spent its running time looking for evidence to confirm his bias. Complaining about Red Skull, who was a Nazi Super-soldier (at least in the comics), being the villain instead of...what exactly? Hitler? Anonymous Nazis? You don't think having a super-powered Nazi as the bad guy is...Nazi enough? You want a movie where a noble hero who strives to fight to defend his country bluntly states "I want to kill them all!" That's the sort of thing Big Hollywood has complained about in every Iraq movie that's come out in the last seven years.

I'm perfectly willing to believe the narrative isn't particularly powerful. That wouldn't surprise me at all, and I don't begrudge the reviewer his own response to the film. But from the tone of what I just read, it seems the only satisfying movie for him would have been for Captain America to kill every Nazi while draped in the American flag, laughing uproariously and singing The Star-Spangled Banner.
