I don't know which is the worst, but Marvel made CA:TWS the second best MCU film ever (only behind The Avengers).

Yeah I clearly remember when my mom brought home this video from a local video rental place. It was bad then and it is bad still, but it is actually fun to watch.

Gusto screamed in the movie theater like a girl, granted it was more funny back then because all the movies were silent films and everyone could hear him.

70 years ago? Gusto was only a senior citizen then.

Dumb as sheet article. Yes, it was 70 years ago and it was as good as you were going to get back then. As has been explained so many times already you can't judge fims of the past by today's standards and expectations. The ignoran contempt these guys have is total BS. Makes this site look every petty & amateur.

How can anyone disgrace this film? It is a classic. Yes it is extremely laughable. But I'm sure every movie was just as bad back then. I give us props that we have come so far.

Hey Gusto, Did you make the midnight opening?

If you think THIS seems petty...then



This site will AMAZE you.

(And BTW, this is totally just a sarcastic/comedic video meant for laughs and entertainment. Don't take it too seriously... :P )

The new captain America was definitely good but not the best marvel movie in my opinion, I still give it to the first iron man film..

@FOOM They're not judging it by today's standards, they're judging it by the fact that it literally does away with everything in the comics except the name and costume and makes the character look ridiculous.
