Culture Club: Captain America: The First Avenger
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference."Captain America: utter, utter, utter tosh."

"I am so over all these superhero films! There seems to be a new one released every week and you can barely tell them apart. Can studios spend some money on a few intelligent dramas, instead of all this gung-ho nonsense? Please?"

"Thought it was a perfectly fine summer blockbuster. The first half is stronger, but towards the end it picks up again. It should have been a bit longer, as the middle bits need some more expansion. But I understand that Marvel wanted to wrap up the Captain's story, so they could inject him into The Avengers."

"Captain America is the tale of a determined nerd who conquers the world. A James Murdoch, if you like. Without the phone hacking."
Colin Mehigan
"It's an escapist ACTION flick about a SUPERHERO called Captain AMERICA. Any clues there? You know what you're getting before you get your tickets. Take the plot and story with a pinch of salt – what's the point in philosophising or politicising? The question really should be, "Did you enjoy it for what it is?" Yes is my answer, and I'd recommend it to people who enjoy films. It's all good, humorous stuff."

"Best bit was the ending."

"Chris Evans makes a great action hero in the lead role."

"I love Marvel, but I think Cowboys & Aliens will be the best movie of the summer."
Rev. Rob
"Yawn."
