Hail Hydra!

This year has been another big year for the superhero genre with Thor, X-Men: First Class and The Green Lantern all screening. And as the summer months drew to a close, the genre still had one last trick up its sleeve: Captain America: The First Avenger.

This is Marvel’s third movie of the year. Not content with Thor and X-Men, the comic book giants released one of their personal favourites, Captain America in the later Summer months. Did they save the best until last? In a word: yes.
