just saw the preview screening organised by maybank last night. the movie was entertaining, but lacks behind thor and iron man imo.

bits i loved about it:
1. skinny steve rogers. the cgi is just so seamless... i really wanna know how they pulled it off. apparently no body double was used. absolutely amazing.
2. the buildup to steve's transformation.
3. tommy lee jones. he has all the funny lines
4. red skull. hugo weaving plays him wit a menacing glee tat is very fun to watch.
5. TIES IN NICELY TO AVENGERS. OMGWTFBBQFISHSAUCE CANT WAIT FOR JUNE NEXT YEAR!

bits i found lacklustre:
1. the fight scenes. i found em to be a bit cartoonish (caps managed to infiltrate a weapons base all by himself??), and the hydra soldiers were every bit as incompetent as stormtroopers.
2. the second half of the movie kinda dragged a bit... bucky's subplot was handled very abruptly.



remember to stay after the credits for the avengers teaser!

apparently, it's 80% chris evans during the skinny steve scenes. a few shots used body doubles, but ultimately they decided to digitally shrink him so that they can retain his performance, his nuances and subtle movements etc.
