About
You’ll like this if you enjoy sincere superhero origins and wartime adventure leading toward The Avengers; Not for you if old-fashioned patriotism or lighter comic-book tone feels too corny.
Pros: earnest hero journey; fun retro adventure; likable supporting cast | Cons: uneven middle stretch; underdeveloped villain; dated visuals
