Captain America 1990 Movie

Captain America is a 1990 superhero film directed by Albert Pyun. The film is based on the Marvel Comics superhero of the same name. While the film takes several liberties with the comic's storyline, it features Steve Rogers becoming Captain America during World War II to battle the Red Skull, being frozen in ice, and subsequently being revived to save the President of the United States from a crime family that dislikes his environmentalist polices.
The film received a PG-13 rating from the Motion Picture Association of America.

Produced by 21st Century Film Corporation, filming began in 1989 and was completed in 1990, but after test marketing the film to a preview audience more stunts were added at the end.
The film was intended for release in the summer of 1990, to coincide with the 50th anniversary of Captain America. Posters appeared in movie theaters displaying the superhero's iconic shield, and teaser trailers were created.
Several release dates were announced between fall 1990 and winter 1991, but the film went unreleased for two years before debuting direct to video and on cable television in the United States in the summer of 1992. It was given a limited theatrical release internationally.
Director Albert Pyun said in March 2011 that he was working on a director's cut that would run 124 minutes, with "a few added scenes and [which would be] more character-oriented and [have] less 'superhero action.'" Scheduled to be released on Blu-Ray in May 2011, it is also set to have a different soundtrack and to be released in 5.1 stereo.

The movie received a 20% negative rating on the film critic aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes, with five online critics writing a decade or more after the movie's release.

In one of the few contemporaneous reviews, Entertainment Weekly critic Frank Lovece wrote, "The movie isn't merely wrong for kids — it opens in prewar Italy with a sequence in Italian with subtitles, and a machine-gun slaughter — it's just all wrong", and decried "the shapeless blob of a plot" in grading the film "F"
