CAPTAIN AMERICA

RYAN: Well comparatively I was hoping this one would be good and I’m glad to report it is!

CAROLINE: That’s nice to hear. What did you like about it?

RYAN: Well in many ways it’s not really a superhero movie. I mean it is technically and Captain America is based on the comic books but he’s really just a regular guy in many ways.

RYAN: [laughs’ Well yes. Chris Evans plays the title role and I like him. He’s a very likable guy.

CAROLINE: On screen anyway.

RYAN: It’s true. I’ve never met him.

CAROLINE: I thought you might not like this one, after watching the trailer since it’s a war movie.

RYAN: I do dislike war movies as a rule, but this is more of an army movie that takes place during WW II and for some reason I was into it; partly because of the casting, including Dominic Cooper as Stark, the man who later becomes Robert Downey Jr’s dad in the Iron Man movies.

CAROLINE: Oh that’s pretty cool. How was the 3D?

CAROLINE: Did the ending indicate anything about The Avengers?

RYAN: Well all these movies are linking together so yes and that part is very cool.

CAROLINE: What else did you like about it?

RYAN: There’s a great little musical theater number in the middle which I loved because it was the first time I’ve seen a musical number in 3D. I wouldn’t mind a 3D movie musical. Maybe someday Baz Luhrmann will covert Moulin Rouge into 3D.

CAROLINE: Don’t hold your breath.

RYAN: I have to tell you though, one thing made this the worst screening experience ever.

CAROLINE: What’s that?

RYAN: There was no air conditioning in the theater and it’s hotter than hell in NYC this week. I was literally dying.

CAROLINE: That’s heinous.

RYAN: Aside from that, this movie is a nice escape at the movies.
