1/10
Long,boring and stupid.

I don't even know where to start with this movie.The entire movie takes place on beaches,in the desert and in mansions and very little of it makes any sense.Steve Rogers is a homeless guy with no family and lots of super rich friends.It turns out that his father invented the "FLAG serum" and the government wants Steve to take it.Did I mention that shady characters are trying to kill Rogers even though he is basically a nobody?While his dad's friend is telling him that people used to call his dad Captain America, Steves doodles a perfect picture of Cap.That's because this Steve Rogers is an artist,ugh. The worst thing about the movie is all the long,drawn out driving scenes.There's at least 20 minutes of calm highway driving/helicopter flying with constant tight shots on the driver.There's an extra long scene when Steve is trying out his "new" motorcycle and it's truly pathetic.It's just him riding a motorcycle in the desert for far too long.Eventually a helicopter tries to attack him and the camera switches angles.With this new angle,we can clearly see that he is on a major highway.LAME.Then his dad's friend says "MPs!" and a jeep with 2 military policemen immediately shows up to get him.WHAT???There had been nothing about the military in the entire movie but now this guy can magically conjure them? There's so many horrible things about this movie that it would be impossible to point them all out.It deserves a minus rating but that's not possible.
