I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

A Disappointing Continuation

A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

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.

With a cool motorcycle, blue uniform, and the boomerang shield made of see-through plastic, Captain America reigns: more of a bionic Evel Knievel than the traipsing comic book icon.But first he's Steve Rogers, a budding artist fresh out of the Marines, cruising the coast (in a 1970's van) for good old fashion leisure, but the bad guys want him dead and the good guys want him… super.Reb Brown's a big guy to begin with, so the transformation is nothing like the original, which morphs a skinny wimp into a muscular stud. And Brown's performance is surprisingly monotone given energetic turns in BIG Wednesday, UNCOMMON VALOR and CAGE.But he looks the part, and this TV movie builds up the plot… about a Militant's threat to detonate a neutron bomb… and takes forty five minutes for our hero to assume his identity and kick into gear.Yet the best scenes involve Cap riding that motorcycle around, dodging bullets and beating up thugs. It's that simple... So don't expect anything more and you'll do fine.For More Reviews: www.cultfilmfreaks.com

You have to wonder why the producers of this T movie bothered to make it at all, since it has almost nothing to do with the Captain America of the comics. This Captain America is apparently the son of the original Cap, and is given the super-solider treatment after being seriously injured by bad guys looking for secret documents involving his old man. As if this plot isn't bad enough, the new Cap wears a loose variation on the real Cap's uniform, including a motorcycle helmet in place of the winged hood. He also carries a tiny, see-though plastic shield that looks like it wouldn't hold up in a storm, never mind stop bullets. Cap ride around on a motorcycle, righting wrongs and catching up with a bunch of bad guys. Hunky Reb Brown is an OK Cap, but the movie is a dog. A followup effort from 1990 with Matt Sallinger is only slightly better, but that Cap spends most of the flick in street clothes, and comes across as a poor man's James Bond as he pursues the Red Skull. Except this Red Skull is not the Red Skull of the comics. Yeesh.

Having just seen the 1944 Republic Captain America serial, I decided to now watch the later 1979 TV movie adaptation meant to be a pilot to a new series that didn't materialize. In this one, Steve Rogers (Reb Brown) seems to be a beach bum artist who previously was in the military. Yep, now Universal got the alter ego name right this time but this still isn't Joe Simon & Jack Kirby's creation (just as well their names are nowhere in the credits just like the Republic serial). The steroid F.L.A.G that his late father developed and used on himself would eventually be injected in this Rogers after he almost got killed by some villains who know about his background. The person doing the injection is one Dr. Simon Mills (Len Birman) who becomes Steve's mentor as we learn about Mills' association with the late dad. Assisting him is one Dr. Wendy Day (Heather Menzies who is notable as both Louisa in The Sound of Music and the wife of the late Robert Urich). A romance develops between them. The plot of this one concerns a man who calls his late wife's name before dying in front of Steve and who has some connection with the villain Lou Brackett (Steve Forrest). I'll just stop there and just say that the whole thing has the TV movie feel of the late '70s with the action not very compellingly exciting compared to the Republic version I just saw though there's still some nice chases that is complimented by the Mike Post-Pete Carpenter score. The dialogue borders on cheesy especially when the daughter of the dead man (Robin Mattson) cries over his passing and such lines like "shoving Captain America down their throats" and the constant saying of trucks "pulling out" abound! And the fight scenes are almost sleep inducing. Still, it wasn't too bad what with Ms. Menzies so easy on the eyes (no wonder she posed for Playboy) in that one-piece swimsuit and Birman able to sell those exposition lines like he means it. And while Brown wasn't a great actor, he certain had the handsome presence that the part needed. So on that note, this version of Captain America seemed a nice relic of its sunny California '70s time.
