  • this was good work- this isnt a criticism i just wish you had more actors to work off of. this WWII setting is very cool and very unexpected. good work and you look the part!

  • really impressive videos. you wrote that you directed this yourself. It is an inspirational video that a testimonial to what is great about America. "We saw no flags, we saw no color." WE should all aspire to that, the greatest truths in our civilization. Heartfelt thanks and appreciation to you CAPTAIN AMERICA...regardless if you ever get a feature film, your words in this video will inspire many

  • Will you make others captain america videos one day! Too me you did an amazing job as the cap and the speech was gold. The only thing that bother me are not even related too you're acting LOL I think the editing could be better, also you should have put distant war sound in the background instead of a criket especialy since it's in day light. finally a better costume whould be nice. knowing that you did this all by yourself making this even more cool! More people needs to know about you !

  • Nice work

  • Though i belive Chris Evans make an amazing job as Captain America, i still wich you were the Cap in the movie, cause in my heart, your the real Captain America. Also I still picture Chris too much as human torch.

  • you ARE Capt. America!

  • Suggestions: First, a disclaimer on my part. I majored in film, but it's been a few years since I've put it into practice, so my eye for the technical details has probably diminished. That being said, the main thing I'd work on is audio. Establish one room tone so that the audio from shot to shot is consistent. There were a couple moments where I could hear a distinct change in the room tone (specifically at 6:20). That's about it, really. Good job on the solo project, and keep it up!

  • Pros: Being a Cap fan myself, I thought you portrayed him pretty well. You have a strong presence that I imagine a real-life Steve Rogers would have as well. I liked the incorporation of stock WWII footage, and the interaction with the "audience" was fun to watch. Also, good choice of location. It fit well with the established situation. (cont'd with suggestions)

  • I liked this video even though it's not what I expected.I expected some more action and less sermons( no offense.) Unfortunately, even 2 this day there are people who could use more sermons and lessons2 teach them that we're all just people no matter what color or country one comes from.Even though as a form of enterntainment (it's like preaching 2 the choir to me) I wouldn't rank this video very high but it may help other people who need 2 open up their closed minds. Good going and godspeed

  • @manle666 (^_^) v

  • 01:16 "we ain't fighting for no blacks" lol

  • This man should have gotten the role ,what a disgrace .

  • its great

  • ITS GREAT

  • This video is something that everyone, should watch. You did an awesome job. You're very convincing with your words. You're not acting. You're actually speaking from the heart. Keep up the work, and make more films like this.

  • "Thumbs ou if you watched this all the way through."

  • "What is this?" "I'm curious."

  • "What is this?"

  • DUDE EPIC 1 MAN SHOW!!!!!!!

  • its good - I like what he is saying. who is he though?

  • A great inspirational speech that will not find itself in the latest Captain America movie. But it will sure wet the appetite to see it, even if this is an independent short. And a very good one too. The good Captain truly symbolizes what the nation is really like. If this were made into a television series, this speech should be included in an episode.

  • If he's from Manhattan, I'm from Mississippi.

  • Fantastic...everything ben does is gr8t. Luved it

  • I liked it! Very inspirational and I hope it inspires people to help the charities you listed as well as others that support our troops and their families

  • That's a great looking custom shield' great job with and video bud,.

  • As Captain America would...

  • Ben Ryan is the new Ed Wood. God bless you, brother.

  • @anatomiaartiste LOL! Ditto.

  • CAPITAN GRINGO!!!!!!!!  RULES!!!

  • Pretty damn good acting. Spot on as Captain America. Almost to a point really.

    Would have liked to see some fighting but hey this shows that Captain America is all heart.

  • Acting aside, this dude looks EXACTLY like Steve Rogers.

  • Well done.. I wish you success!

  • Congratulations! 1,224,062 views! Since this is Youtube why not continue this endeavor even if the official movie version comes out. You're version of Cap would be addition to Captain America mythology. It would be a real shame if we can't see at least a full series or at least a short story or your version. Just present it as it is -- ala "Smallville". No need for a mask or cool costume

  • god bless the cap man if only he was real we sure could use him in a world like today

  • brits fighting italians?

  • @LUKEWHITTYboii

    Yes don't they teach you real World History at school?

    Germany,Italy and Japan were the 3 main Axis powers.

  • all and all i liked it, awesome voice, and youre in great shape, i could pick on you for lighting, but lol, you filmed it your self. the pnly real thing i thought could be improoved was you didnt show enough anger, and you are too static. more phisical emotion, and darker more active lighting would have been great. having gave my 2 cents, your message was awesome! the speech was amazing, and you speak very very well.

    im glad there are others like me who dont see color, only the person under it.

  • I think this guy should be captain america not Chris Evens i am a huge marvel fan and CE is already the humin tourch

  • @applepie00001 her sucks and also Chris Evens

  • @applepie00001 oh my god yessss! speak the truth brother!

  • Is this racist? I mean, "dark, monkey-faced, ugly female"...."I don't know about you, but I've seen some pretty good-looking African girls"!!!! This cat is something else..Racist people are even more funny when they think they aren't being racist or that they have "toned it down".This dude is fucking technology gold...thank God for You Tube or we wouldn't get to see so many idiots at the stroke of a keyboard or the tap of a mouse button. Freaking Classic....I know he's "acting" still funny...

  • @mrpopiepope Sure he could have just said 'I've seen some pretty good-looking girls here' but those women were African. Not African-American but African. Would be the same thing as saying 'I've seen some pretty good-looking French girls' if he was in France. Showing the racism of others and having them over come it was what the entire video was about. Truth is, back then racism was a very real thing. Even our soldiers were sepearated by race and could not fight together.

  • oh and its still so hard to believe ur even real its like to good to be true perfect clone cuz i never heard of u in my life til rumors of a captain america movie surfaced a year or something ago and when i saw that other video where they were making comparisons of u and steve i was like wtf i thought those were old vids like in 1980s or 1990s so i thought u would be old by now lol

  • we need to get ben ryan popular enough so stan lee can ask him to be steve rodgers for reals!!

  • @roniesavage you aree so fucking right in so many ways

  • I hope Chris Evans doesn't exist.

  • I hope Chris Evens says something like this in the movie

  • "It's the world's world" great writing

  • is he on facebook?

  • please publish the love story video again

  • @alexishoule121 were fighting aswell it aint just the usa

  • @alexishoule121 im from the uk not the usa and all i ever c or hear about on the news is the war and attacks done here

  • @alexishoule121 i never said it was cool but were doing this to protect are future if we stopped they would win

  • @alexishoule121 am older than you think and old enougth to support are brave soldiors

  • @alexishoule121 how old do you think I am and we need someone like that to stop the tertotists

  • vote up if you think we need someone like captain america in our war

  • We need a real Captain America to remind us of what this country is supposed to be about: Equality, Justice, Honor, Truth, Reason. And real patriotism isn't blind following and flag worship. Real patriotism is demanding that your country and it's government live up to the highest ideals and standards, and chastizing it when it doesn't.

  • this actor captured the exact persona of captain america.

    great acting and on camera presence not to mention a really strong speaking voice. what's more impressive is that the actor wrote the entire speech and according to the description he filmed and edited this entire short film himself. if anyone knows how hard it is to make independant films as I do, it's hard with a crew of 10 let alone doing it by yourself. this is a very well done effort

  • About as bad as Reb Brown when he played Captain America

  • Just encourage yourself...find the lesson learned from this great movie...watch it for fr33 at Free Movie Zone . n e t

  • @sexybabe1016 Just how wild... ;)

    Oh, and are you even worth the trouble?

  • @Wolffengong @Bold BenRyan. Stay away from this FOOL. He knows NOT what he is doing!

  • @Wolffengong No! I will not say "Whatever" and leave you alone until you apologize to @Wingerdinger0 for telling him Capt. A's shiled is made of Adamantium, and stop telling people you are trying to produce an Underground film. It is illiterate jokers lke yourself who are ruining the Legacy of Capt. A. You are doing more harm than good by spewing misinformation and then resorting to name calling when someone corrects you.

    Integrity is a Virtue. I will NOT stand by and allow you to misrepresent.

  • @Wolffengong Who's the Idiot? Pardon me but I'm not the one who obviously can't read, or is Incapable of researching the truth for himself. Go to Wikipedia you fool, and do a search for "Captain America's Shield"....then READ the damn thing and you wil find that references to Adamantium was an error made by rookie writers who borrowed from a Handbook of Marvel which had printed Adamantium in error.

    Adamantium didn't exist until Wolverine became a character nearly 10 yrs. after Capt. A. Ya bum!

  • @Wolffengong "Rogers meets President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who presents him with a new shield, forged from an alloy of steel and vibranium, fused by an unknown catalyst."

    The above excerpt can be found on Wikipedia. Now that I have taken the time to "get it straight". Why don't YOU stop being so arrogant. Captain America's shield is made from Vibranium, NOT Adamantium. Sorry to burst your bubble

  • STUPID!!!!!!!!!!

  • i thought this was a really good film...worth of watch..watch it at Free Movie Zone . n e t

  • Looks like Brock Lesnar. Sounds like Forrest Gump.

  • ok somw of the stuff is incorrect, but he does this so well

  • everyone who thinks this is real captain america should stick it to marvel and their bullshit casting for their movies and stay home next year.

    watch that captain america movie on a rainy day for the hell of it to laugh when it ends up in the bargin bin at walmart.

  • it's pretty good. must've taken you ages. you've got CA's morality spot on.

  • Steve Roger join the army to get always from the problem back home.

    Steve Roger had a heart condition.

    Steve Roger have flat feet.

    Steve Roger was station at Yemen not in Africa.

    Steve Roger was saddler build and in height 5/9

    Steve Roger had brown hair and hazel eyes.

    Steve Roger is Atheist.

    All the above was change when he became Capt America by accident not by volunteering to supper drugs. this info can be found in a short story title "Blue Hero"

  • Were did you get your sheild did you make it or is it one of the new really expensive replica's ?

  • Need a voice coach so don't sound like Clinton. Movie has to have international appeal, which means no strong specific American accent.

  • BoldBenRyan, I think you truly captured the Spirit of Captain America. Your portrayal of him is off the charts. Well done!

  • Ben, I would just like to say I have been a Cap fan for over 30 years. Although he's a fictional character (just as Uncle Sam is), I feel he personifies the spirit of America and what it stands for. I don't know how much training you have had in acting, but I would like to say you have done an AWESOME job with this clip. It is heartfelt and sincere. Not to mention you look the part to a TEE! I wish Marvel would cast YOU as the one to represent this GREAT HERO. I salute you!

  • this guy should play captain America in the movie.

    " thumbs up if u agree "

  • This is sick! I want to see one witn the fullsuit on.

  • jajaja captan american crazy fan 

  • it was a good story. better you watch this movie at Free Movie Zone . n e t

  • Just encourage yourself...find the lesson learned from this great movie...watch it for fr33 at Free Movie Zone . n e t

  • @Wolffengong, sorry to have to correct you but Capt. America's shield is indeed made from Vibranium. Which is why he and The Black Panther are such good friends. They have many great adventures together.

  • Wolffengong, sorry to have to correct you but Capt. America;s shield is indeed made from Vibranium. Which is why he and The Black Panther are such good friends. They have many great adventures together.

  • ok movie. worth one watch. 7/10 watch it at Free Movie Zone . n e t

  • This was a really good movie. I enjoyed every minute of it...watch now at Free Movie Zone . n e t

  • I liked it alot, was interesting from beggining till end. Good acting and great music. watch now at Free Movie Zone . n e t

  • NOW THIS IS THE REAL CAPTAIN AMERICA,NOT CHRIS FLAE ON EVANS !

  • Comment removed

  • Dude!! You got this all wrong! Captain America's sheild is not round in WW2, it is shaped in a triangle. But still its a good vid, like for me!! :D

  • @1MichealMyers it's round in some different versions of the comics.

    and in the time travel ones it is. according to the history the president gave him the round shield in the 1940's. and yah this guy is so strong looking and speaking

  • @1MichealMyers Do you read the comics???

    Cap started out with the triangular shield, yes (In the Captain America movie their making, he will even start out with that one). But in 1941 President Roseveldt gave him the iconic round shield, made out of vibranium, which never breaks.

  • @Wingerdinger0 Sorry.

  • what crap!

  • Now This should be Capt. America not chris evans

  • @rvx87 But can he act?

    Do yourself a favour and look at the set pictures of the Cap movie, there is a shot of Evans after Steve takes the super soldier serum. He's jacked, almost as much as this guy.

    Evans is a great actor, he will do a great job as Steve.

  • @Wingerdinger0 WTF!?

    That is PURE BULLSHIT! This Guy Ben is twice to three times the size of that baby Evans! That had to use camera tricks muscle suits and effects to just try to even make him look decent.

    This guy could literally break that Evans guy in half. He has ten times a better voice and 100 times more presence. My God Man wake up! Demand more from movies instead of settling for so much less!

  • @CaptainAmericaReborn Dude, relax.

    Yes, this guy looks the part and definately is much bigger than Chris Evans. I applaud him for capturing the spirit of what Captain America is supposed to be about but I have to once again state that he cannot act worth shit.

    Captain America TFA Avenger will do great with Evans regardless, he's got a fantastic supporting cast with Hugo Weaving as The Red Skull.

  • @Wingerdinger0 For god's sake I don't want to see some little kid "ACT" like a superhero. This guy Ben is Captain America. He doesn't need to act. Just him speaking is real strength in itself. You and feeble boys who allow the entertainment industry to spit on our superheros by casting pathetic tiny children to play men's roles make me wanna puke. People like you would have wanted Johnny Depp to play Rambo because supposedly he can "act". What a bunch of bullshit.

  • @CaptainAmericaReborn Cool story bro.

  • @Wingerdinger0 He is to big. Has a wrestlers build. Cap needs to be more athletic. 

  • @supermankelly Go get your baby pacifier and put it back in your mouth. Captain America is the most muscular comic hero ever 2nd to only Hulk. You must have severe self esteem problems. Captain America can only be portrayed by a massively muscular man and not some pathetic tiny beach boy. Some of you little boys commenting here have serious problems and are a disgrace to men and women.

  • @capAforever You're either just trolling, or you're a complete moron. Evans looks fine from the set shots I've seen. Project Rebirth made him pretty muscular, but not enormous.

    Captain America The First Avenger is going to be the best superhero movie in 2011, Thor could even be better.

    Besides, as long as Hugo Weaving looks awesome as The Red Skull, that's what really matters.

  • @Wingerdinger0 yeah you must be a justin bieber fan. go put your panties on and go back to bed.

    Chris Evans weighs 150 pounds for fucks sake grow some fucking balls kid.

    This guy in this video probably weighs 100 pounds more than that pussy evans.

    Captain america 2011 will suck and I would not waste my money on that bullshit. They already admited at Marvel they are going to use big muscle suits to try and make that pussy look bigger because he is small as shit

  • @theamericanherocomes u mad? Have fun missing out on Thor and Cap in 2011 while the rest of use enjoy them in theatres.

  • the ballad of douche halftrack

  • what the fuck is this?

  • I LOVED YOUR MESSAGE, I TRULY BELIEVE WE ARE ALL ONE BIG FAMILY ON THIS PLANET AND SO I LOVE EVERYONE AND STRONGLY BELIEVE IN MY HONOR BEING THE FINAL MORAL LINE IN MAKING DECISIONS AND NOT A LINE PUT THERE FOR ME BY MY "SUPERIORS" MANY IN HISTORY HAVE DIED TRAITORS WHEN IN FACT THEY WHERE ONLY KEEPING TRUE TO WHAT IS RIGHT MAY GOD BLESS THEM AND YOU BIG BEN AND YOURS

  • yap yap yap this shit sux

  • This the effects of great movie. Everybody love it. Lucky me watched it at Free Movie Zone . n e t

  • is it really gonna be a movie? i hope so cause it's owsome...

  • Ben Ryan's pretty good, but I wish it were JUSTIN BIEBER

  • @Fookums what the HELL

  • this was very good.

  • sick shield

  • This movie was sweet! If you want to see the whole movie for free in great quality Just google yslides and the site should pop up. Yslides is where I watched this movie and didn't have any problems at all. I would just put the website address, but I don't want youtube to mark my account as spam. LOL

  • bye bye 10:44

  • Ben Ryan, despite all the negative comments posted against you, you truly moved me man. Not only does this build my suspense for the actual film in 2011, but you reminded me of the pettiness mankind tends to hold onto and how we should redouble our efforts to let them go. This was a fantastic vid Ben.

  • Am I the only one who has a hard time not cringing at this?

  • Captain America didn't have a shield in WW2. This is just gay..

  • Of course he did you idiot numfar! He always had a shield, Captain America's suit and shield have been around as early as 1941 and he was envisioned by Joe simon and redesigned by Jack Kirby. However they changed his shield later that year.

  • @IdealWildFire He had a kite shield with the a different design on it and it was much smaller but he got a new one way later.

  • @IdealWildFire I thought he did but it wasn't round

  • you suck monkey shit!

  • Ohh dear :/ . . .

  • Damn day-crickets.

  • This guy totally looks the part. But my god, what a terrible actor.

  • @xk3naix

    No,no, I disagree. This was kinda cool and convincing and had a sense of realism.

  • Dude if you make a whole movie let me know. Thumbs up.

  • this was horible

  • Ben, you have the looks, but lack the voice and presence of Cap, in my opinion.

    "I don't know about you, but I've seen some pretty good-looking African girls, etc..."

    Stop writing, please. And editing films.

    Your ambition, and passion for Cap, I admire, but you've spread yourself too thinly over diverse specializations.

    I wish you luck.

  • yup...captai america alright...just how i KNOW him....

  • Hey! The guy you got to play Cap actually looks like Cap :)

  • Ben you are the greatest and you should be the actor for the New Cap. America role! 1000 stars my friend.

    A fellow African!

  • Horrible Edit. - But he is a convincing Cap.

  • script sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Beautiful brother~

  • Beautiful brother~

  • que CHINGADA MADRE es ESTO ????????????

  • I'm ready to tear some shit up!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • May golden blessings soil you.

  • stupid

  • how dare you. who in the hell do you think you are? why would you insult American soliders? those men are the greatest men that have ever lived. their will never be a Captain American movie that will show America in such a rasist way. and dont you feel alittle rasist when you filmed your self when you dubed your own vocie for the American Solider. this speach is an insult to every thing this great nation stands for. read a history book. duche bag.

  • My first reaction was to discount you.  But as I watched I realized you've got a huge heart and more sincerity and earnestness than nearly anyone else I've encountered out there. And that's what Captain America is about.

  • gay

  • You would have been a pretty good Captain America. Evans is not the most inspirational guy I've ever seen on screen...

  • Needs more quad-bike

  • LMFAO 3:23...kind of funny how he says that. 

  • You're great in the role of captain america, handsome big, it works

    would be nice to see you performing strength feats.

  • Well, I must say, he does make an extraordinary comic representation of Captain America.

  • WTF.

  • remarkably effective; guy is one surprising actor and a great speaker.

  • props for effort---this guy feels like Cap---looks great--does anyone think Evans looks like CA as much as this guy?? God, I hope Marvel knows what it is doing--

  • hahaa.. he's just standing in an empty field.

  • May not be the best video but it truly shows the meaning, power and presence of what Captain America means and stands for. God I wish u where playing Cap in the new movie and not that douche that played Jonny Storm in the Fantastic Four movie. What you lack in acting u make up in heart. From and ex-Ranger Medic, I salute u!

  • Opinion is: Gay monologue is gay. Inflections feel wrong. Sorry dude.

  • Ben Ryan for President!

  • Gotta give this guy props for putting this effort together alone and doing a decent job (for a one-man operation). He's got the basic looks down for cap and the dialogue was in the same vein as what one should expect from a true Captain America.

    Given that Marvel has gone "another way" with it's casting of Steve Rogers/Captain America, I think this guy, given some coaching with his acting, would be a good choice for portraying the US Agent... perhaps in a 2nd Captain America movie. Sound cool?

  • Good for you, man....not many have the passion and courage to try something so ambitious. Good effort. And ya look damned good in that costume!

    Appreciate the story content....

  • great vid :) The Avengers teaser is here /watch?v=dTtPEhcRGDQ

  • This was damn good!

  • At least he tried.

  • this dude isn't good at acting by my opinion :|

  • For me looks like CAPTAIN AMERICA!!!

  • Wow that was truly touching even tho it wasn't for this era it still makes sense and we Need a Captin America now, here, for justice

  • Let me tell you something, I had to fight at a very young age with people calling me "nigger lover" and shit like that because I had moved to the country and my friend (actually more like a brother) would come stay with me and he's a black man. Call me what you will. It doesn't mean shit to me. The point that seems to have flown high over your head is how disgusting it is when people are always trying to WEDGE in political correctness EVERYWHERE. Whether it enhances the story or not. which in

  • 4:03 ROFL

  • was wolverine part of the avengers?

  • Great job dude!

  • This politically correct crap (the whole "what great people Africans are" stuff) disgusted me almost as much as find out about the homosexuals in the new "young avengers". Decent acting and premise. would've been cool if you'd just stuck to what the comic books WERE. Not what they are now. It's all this PC drivel that's DESTROYING what was once the greatest nation on earth.

  • @RonnieWhyScream- You'e fucking dumb. So let me guess, you're a racist because you feel that Africans are disgusting. You're also a closet homosexual because you bash on gay people for no god reason. You're fucking stupid and don't have a clue what makes Captain America a great hero, it isn't that he has America in his name its that he respects and fights for the entire world and up holds the best things about America. Fucking read a comic or two.

  • @RonnieWhyScream The perception that US is greatest nation on earth is entirely held by Yanks, and not exactly 100% of even them. Whatever doya reckon the US once had that is now destroyed? US has virtues, sure, but also a far larger than average share of villanies too. Africa, on the other hand, includes Egypt - (debatably) the inventors of farming, (debatably) also beer. Hard to argue with achivements of that kinda importance.. Also, all humanity originated in Africa. A true fatherland.

  • @MsBettyBowers 1. Agriculture was thought to be invented before recorded history, so it's not likely they invented it.though humanity did did originate from Africa. *nods*

    And what america's invented? Just a few things. en .wikipedia. org/wiki/ Timeline_of_United_States_inve­ntions

  • my friend, that was an excellent speech. you make an excellent captain america and i salute you for what you stand for.

  • Very well done! Long live CAPTAIN AMERICA! A TRUE AMERICAN hero!

  • captain america!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Very inspiring, rings true for every aspect of life.

  • You ARE... a True Captain America...

  • @thecrow523

    Funny how in the end Marvel picked this Ben guy and- O wait they didn't. They picked a real actor. You have a hard-on for this clown and you call me a loser. Nice.
