I watched this out of pure curiosity, after seeing Spoony's rant about it.
Now, I'm not going to hold the age, the bad acting, the low budget or the ridiculous costume against the movie. Those are the least of the problems. What I do have a problem with, is that it's way too slow. Don't get me wrong, normally I don't mind slow paced movies, it all depends on the genre, really, but when it's supposed to be a superhero movie, that won't work. Too much talk, scenes about nothing, and very, VERY little action. Not to mention that it takes way over an hour before we finally see Captain America in full costume. Today it wouldn't be a problem, since superhero movies of today are about 2,5 hours long, but when it's only roughly 15 minutes left, you feel ripped off.
It's not the worst movie I've seen in general, and as a crime/drama movie it's slightly entertaining, but as a superhero movie, it fails miserably.
