just got a copy of this tv movie. i was very disappointed at the time because it was so different from the comics i loved and i didn't quite understand why they wouldn't do things that way, but time has mellowed me somewhat.
anyway, Reb is not a good actor, but he looks the part. unfortunately, it's been 50 minutes (in a 90 minute movie) and he has done precisely ONE heroic thing. there have been two automotive incidents, but it's been pretty sedate, that's for sure. he's the son of the original in this one.
interestingly enough, they DO have this Steve Rogers as an artist. that's been a nice touch. i was hoping this would be more action oriented, but it doesn't seem to be so. i wonder how CAII will play out?

well, i think Reb got more relaxed toward the end of the movie. it could have been called Kamen Rider Patriot since he spent so much time on his motorcycle. still, it's not the worst superhero movie i've seen.
i'm about 40 minutes into the second one, and it's better- Reb is reading his lines a lot better. he sure fits the costume, which looks good except for the stupid helmet, but better than fake ears, i suppose. dunno why the shield was clear, that really made it look like plastic. two pluses to this movie are Connie Sellica and Chris Lee, who adds an air of menace to anything he is in.
it's also got more action in it than the entire first movie- one of the points of not having to deal with an origin (tediously).
had they been more slam-bang i think it would have been a fine series.

I heard when Captain America was almost booted out of the AVENGERS because of this movie.

Was this the one where he wears a football helmet?

it's actually a motorcycle helmet, since he spends so much time on his bike it makes sense. plus a good thing to show the tiny tots.
