I don't get why anyone would hate Captain Aemrica, it's not like he fights FOR America, only for the "American values" of freedom, liberty and choice.
I mean, they even retconned out the Cap hating Communism, and I may be wrong but at the end of WW2 America was starting to veer very left, sadly before their President died and an extremem right one replaced him.
What could have been for America, and the world, it makes me sad.

I think it may be due to the fact that Captain America isn't portrayed as the typical American "screw everyone else, we rule" army propaganda, and is actually a likable heroic character. Despite being dressed in a flag, he doesn't rub the US in your face. It's a good movie.
Doesn't have any respect? Do you have any idea how much effort he put into Deadpool in Wolverine: Origins? He trained for months just to use the swords and do the stunts himself. He really is just put into shit movies. I watched Buried and he was great in it. There wasn't any comedy in that by the way. Before iRobot or I am Legend everyone thought Will Smith was just some comedic idiot with no range, clearly he isn't.Xzi said:
If you're on the fence about seeing Captain America in 3D, I can certainly say this is one of the few films this year that is MADE for a 3D experience. Stereo effects aren't going to wow everyone, but it does add a certain special something to certain kinds of movies. In this case, the kind where there's lots of action, explosions, and cool stuff flying at the screen.
Yes, Cap is a 2D to 3D conversion, but you'd never know it. This is the first movie I saw in 3D that didn't give me a massive headache. Just saying.

Just thought that I mention the fact that Russia, Ukraine, and South Korea are not communist states. Also, the latter two are fighting against the communists for a long time...
On the topic of Captain - it was a good movie and I enjoyed it, regardless of the sometimes funny propaganda-like moments of wanking off to The Great US of A.

From the interviews I've seen he always talks about the comic book roles with respect and how as a kid he read a lot of comics. Maybe he just seems really sincere to me and either he's good at lying in an interview, or he does take this seriously. Yeah I know it's arbitrary to defend a rich famous person but I think he get's a lot of unnecessary hate.
While the modern world may or may not be a fan of America, no what the modern world can still agree on hating? Nazis. Shouldn't really be a surprise that anything based on Nazi bashing goes over well enough.
Also, it's just a superhero movie, I don't think that people going to see Marvel movies are all that concerned with such nonsense anyways.

I doubt that Cap will get ANY release in north Korea, changed name or not. what with the crazy dictatorship and censorship and all that jazzNouw said:
Personaly i think the success of this movie is more to do with the fact it is a very well made movie; with great casting and direction, than it is to do with the charchter of Cap. although thats deffinately a part of it. but for the layman Cap himself won't be the main draw
I saw it last week with a few friends and we all loved it. In Portugal there might be a few nay-sayers that dislike Cap, but i think that brand recognition makes up for the few people who wont see it because it has the name "America" in the title. I read Captain America comics since i was a kid and i was looking forward to this. Chris Evans was great as Steve Rogers and i really liked the tone of the movie. Overall i cant say there´s an anti-America movement here, so it´s all good for Marvel. Bring on The Avengers!
Haven't seen it, might do so later.
God fucking damnit, why are there no Middle-Eastern superheroes?
The Desolator from Red Alert 2 doesn't count. He's evil beyond all fucking measure. Even if his puns are funny.

Just saw the Captain tonight, a great film I thought-though the Nazis from Wolfenstein had cooler equipment and could aim too.....
Ugh, 3D. I'm not surprised to be honest with you. Once word spread that he wasn't a douche bag smack talking moron (exactly like his comic book counterpart), the movie should be able to do well based on the merits that it is a great film. Also, they would never understand this, but he doesn't stand for anything the modern day US Government would do, like myself. He is a true patriot, a patriot to the ideals of our society, not to the broken US government.
Also, not to nitpick, but what do people think South Korea and Russia are? Neither is actually Communist anymore. Russia adopted a new Constitution in 1993, declaring they are no longer aligned with that particular view of thought, and South Korea isn't Communist at all, it never was since it existed.
But, I digress and recognize that few people pay as much attention to this stuff as I do.
Back OT: I'm not surprised it did well. It was a good film, the direction was great, it was well written and the execution was absolutely perfect. I am surprised in all honesty that there was an expectation of it doing poorly because the character is named Captain America. I would arrive first day to see a Union Jack movie, or a Colossus movie, or even a Black Panther movie. All of these are international super heroes from England, Russia, and Africa (the fictional African nation of Wakanda) respectively.
