No not the decent 2011 remake you’re thinking of, this is the long-forgotten realm of the dumb, boring and pointless “Captain America” of the 90s. This is a superhero film so bad the special effects and the all-round production value make it look like a 70s film… and a cheap one at that.

In “Captain America”, Steve Rodgers (Matt Salinger “Revenge of the Nerds”) is a crippled man, who is used in a secret government project to make him the strong and heroic Captain America to thwart the Nazis and their evil creation the Red Skull (Scott Paulin “I Am Sam”). Unfortunately, Captain America is beaten by the Red Skull and strapped to a rocket that’s heading for the White House. Captain America makes the rocket miss and he finds himself frozen. He then is thrown into a world he doesn’t understand when he wakes up in the 90s.He then must finish the battle he started all those decades ago.

Everyone in this film is unmemorable as they’re bland or memorable for being horrific. No one gives any believable depth to their character and they all come across as overly cartoony and horrifically boring. I think the worst is Matt Salinger as Steve Rodgers/Captain America.

“Captain America” is a painful movie to watch. Although it has a good premise it’s just so awful to watch. The action is rubbish and Captain America comes across as a right wimp at times as he looks pathetic when he fights the Red Skull as he doesn’t inflict any damage whatsoever on his enemy and just takes a harsh beating even though it seems he has the advantage since he is carrying a weapon (his shield, which he uses to fight baddies and protect himself). The acting is atrocious, the dialog is boring and the overall production value really makes it seem like the studios had no belief that this movie would do well.
