  1. Positive review
    Ed Gibbs, Sydney Morning Herald No clever messages here, just bang-on romance and action, with another fresh twist on 20th-century history woven in for the kids to dive into after the credits have rolled. Full review External link
  2. Positive review
    David Denby, New Yorker It doesn't try too hard for irony or style; the comic-book sensibility remains pure, square, and happily stupid. Full review External link
  3. Positive review
    David Sexton, This is London Evans is unprecedentedly touching and engaging for a superhero - and the rest of the cast help this adventure seem something close to character-driven instead of just being a bundle of stunts. Full review External link
  4. Positive review
    Sukhdev Sandhu, Daily Telegraph Solid, efficient, often anachronistic: Captain America is earthbound when it needs to soar. Full review External link
  5. Positive review
    Peter Bradshaw, Guardian [UK] The Captain isn't perfect, but he's the equal of Thor and loads better than the Green Lantern: he's the summer's pre-eminent superhero. Full review External link
  6. Positive review
    Simon Foster, sbs.com.au The effects work...integrates flawlessly with the rich, muted retro-themed colour palette of cinematographer Shelly Johnson, one of the few lensers able to work the darkening effect of the 3D process to the film's advantage. Full review External link
